I have got it. I have two games to play and less time these days - I hope to get to it tomorrow but there is a chance I will have to finish up on Thursday.

Empiremaker,
You posted the same save as Doc. Can you repost with the save after your turn?

I am not very familiar with the map, but we would meet a lot of civs doing that at the moment. It might be worthwhile after we have met them though (assuming it is possible). Right now I would prefer the chance of a Zerk rather than meeting France, any Spanish civs, Danes, etc. I would prefer to get the iron behind the main lines before we meet them if we can.

lurker's comment: If you sail right next to north Africa then you only meet the Abby's and whoever has Gibralter.

I'd say, we don't want to sail there until we secured tar for more dromons

Fully agree. We will meet:
Fatimids (no real issue, have to send their units through Abba's lands)
Cordova (sometimes surprisingly strong)
Burgundy (baaaad....)
Most likely France, Castille, and any exploring Longship.
It is, however, a viable strategy for later.

Yes they have, go to end of Page One.
Preturn: We have one town building Regular Swords.
Early:
Build Heraclea near Corinth.
Finish the tech for Cats and start on MDI tech.
Lose 2 Spear in Attalea. It might fall.
Attack and Capture Pliska. We kill Samuel.. Lose an Elite Sword vs def 1 Samuel and a Vet Sword to a Spear.
Mid: Trebizond is built near the Quarry which will give us walls.
Pliska becomes a killing zone as every Bulgar rushes towards it and is mowed down.
Late: Capture Veliki Preslav from Bulgar.
Keep an eye out for Contact with yellow (Turkey?). We touch his territory at the corner.
Notes:
Medieval combat in 4 turns.
I thought about a prebuild for tapestry (free barracks) but it was 60 turns total, so I didn't.
We have 2 defenders in our west coast (mediteranean) cities, but not our east coast ones (some are empty). Do we need to worry about Zerks on our East Coast?
We are kind of troop heavy at the moment and may need to consider building other things (or better using our troops to take towns).
Both fronts are well under control at the moment. Attalea was at risk earlier but is doing ok now.
I would like to keep our culture up. We started high and temples are pretty cheap. It means we can keep cities which means in turn we can grow without shrinking our own cities (we have plenty to settle with our settlers to replace the enemy).
Do we have any idea where the other 2 (right?) leader of Green are? North of us seems most likely.

this is looking really good, taken the tar city and even expanded.
I would still try and get some more cities up in our core to reduce unit support. With maces due in 4, things are looking great

Ya, the settlers are a good plan. We should have sufficient units to hold off the enemy and possibly expand to the north.
We will have the tar roaded in a turn I think, the Quarry in 2, and I connected our 4th Lux up.
