handy, how are things? yes, we still play C3C AW games as they are most fun of all games in the Civ series (this view might be a bit biased though). Are you waiting for the 5th instalment to make your comeback?
This may take me to Saturday to finish. Our family doubled in size (we are fostering 3 kids) and it is a bit of an adjustment

I think I'm ready for a C3CAW comeback
but I may be a little rusty. This weekend I will try to knock off some rust to get the feel back. Sorry for the highjack. I will lurk your Silence is Golden game. That will be a good one to watch.

great news, handy. You're always welcome to join my game. We are a little far at this game, but maybe the next one. As you can see, there are still enough people playing C3C even after so many years.
Ya, it will be fun to have you back.
Well I finally got a chance to sit down and play and I am not seeing the save. Sorry, I should have checked earlier.

shoot, here it is
Preturn: MM. Switched to Mil Academy in Sumer and raised lux to get it faster.
IBT: Units advance toward us but no attacks. Looks like pillaging Horses would be worthwhile with all the fast enemy units.
1010 AD: Move to/Attack Baruun Urt and Fez. Egyptian amy group is healing.
IBT: Egypt founds a new town in cleared area.
1020 AD: Raze both Fez and Baruun Urt since they are in the radius of existing towns.
Egypt city nets us 269 gold. Raise science to 60% to get Astronomy in 4. May need to lower lux again if we run out of easy targeted Egyptian cities but for now we can run at -99 gold.
IBT: Newtown's, Magellan, and Sistine are all completed.
1030 AD: Capture Byblos. We will see if we can keep it. Find Thebes. Explore more to the west.
IBT: Resistance ended (we have double Egypt culture).
1040 AD: Build Katulla and Dye on the River. Workers finally reach new Lux of Silks and will connect next turn.
Wall of Pike no longer quite as necessary. Find stack of workers fortified so I wake - didn't spot because I didn't think we would be fortifying this early with so much Swamp and Jungle so I didn't look (normal 'near capitol')
1050 AD: Capture Fustat.
IBT: Attack on Fustat is repelled. Get Astronomy next physics.
1060 AD: Narjan Razed. Take out another new-founded Egyptian city for more gold. Egyptian Armies take more damage than usual and some are very low.
1070 AD: Egypt's Horses have been pillaged so no more knights. Egyptian side is healing
1080 AD: Healing. Mongol forces are heavy so western armies are busy. Capture Anjar from Arabia and spot Horses. May be able to stop Arabia's UU.
IBT: Only landing so far near Berlin - A single Aztec Longbow.
1090 AD: Finally have workers on Dye. Attack Thebes with healed Cavalry. 327 gold for Capturing Giza.
IBT: Knight Attacks our Musket. We win.
1100 AD: Captured Mansura
Notes:
Our front is a bit improved to the West. To the East I started keeping cities so it is a bit disorganized. Note the eastern cities have low corruption. Going after the Egyptian cities for cash meant we didn't have a concentrated attack. I just expanded on whatever front the Army was on initially. The Cav Armies are on the Egyptian side
Anjar could be taken back by Arabia. I did this because the army is on the Horses that may stop them.
No leader from elite victories so no new Armies. All armies have 4 units now.
Science is finally more than 4 turns. I would still go for Steam since that speeds things up so much, but we may win not long after getting it.
Took me a while to get to this but we made good progress. I should be better able to judge when I need a skip next time.

Nice going.
We should keep on hammering the Egyptians, they have nearly 9,000 gold and everyone else is pretty much broke. Interestingly enough there is still a civ we haven't met yet, I wonder if they are on a separate island.
I agree steam is the most important tech remaining to be researched, I don't think we will get to tanks in this game. One thing I think we do need is more settlers, most of the AI cities we should be able to keep, but there is a lot of empty land.
I assume we are after a domination win, yes?

Great progress 
I think we won't really need techs after rails, but what should we do with all the money that we can potentially gain from Egypt
I agree to take them out since they have so much cash.

I'm still up in another SG, so go ahead with your schedule and I'll be free to play when you are done. This one is getting to the longer turns phase, so quick turn-arounds are less of a likelihood. No swap will be necessary, as it will take me probably 2 sessions to do my next turn during the workweek.
TheOverseer714
Overseer
Hopefully I can finish my orgy of destruction in my other SG tonight and get started on this one later tonight or tomorrow. Sorry about the virus issues Mathias, it can really be a pain to clean and repair the damage left behind. Too many jerks out there with nothing better to do than mess with other people's lives.

Finally finished, did okay except for 1 shocker, in which a Mace killed a fortified 6hp army. I got another lux hooked up and a 6th lux is in reach. We are much wealthier now, Egypt has been a fine cash cow. I recommend getting some ships out soon so we can locate the rest of our enemies. We are an IBT away from the IA and hopefully we'll get Steam Power free. Here is my turn-log:

Got it. We seem to have had poor leader luck in this game, 8 armies don't seem to be many for this stage. Did anybody see what I did with the lucky candle? I was going to light it for Rails

Inherited turn:
Things have changed since my last turn, massive expansion where Egypt used to be, but that final Russian town still lives. Egypt still has a stack of cash, but some of the others have some as well.
Egypt: 6 cities, 4519g
Aztecs: 12 cities, 14g
Russia: 1 city, 1006g
Arabia: 9 cities, 3g
Mongols: 13 cities, 2373g
Unknown civ: unknown no of cities, unknown bank balance
Us: 52 cities
We are running lux at 10% which we don't need, decrease to 0 and hire 1 merchant. Switch some scientists to merchants, TOG next turn @+223 gpt, 2.5k in the bank.
We seem to have a bunch of units guarding the hills near Apisala. The front was there during my last turn set but has long since moved, lets see if they can be put to better use...
Light lucky candle, hit enter and start my happy dance.
IBT:
Aztec LB loses to musket but follow up attack kills cavalry in same square [1-1]
Lots of other units move into our territory
We advance into a new era...
Drum roll.
Happy dance ends, sad dance starts
. I think I need a new lucky candle.
We get nationalism as our free tech
Lagash cav->cav
1) 1210AD
Science to 100% switch merchants to scientists, Steam in 8 at -107gpt.
Switch Orenburg from Library to Cavalry, I don't think we need much more infrastructure.
Tutub appears to be totally corrupted and building a library, as is Dye-on-the-river, Dabrum and Nagsu, all switch to cannon.

Kill injured Aztec LB [3-1]
Aztec spear retreats vet cavalry, finish it off with a spare [4-1]
Disrupt Mongol settler pair for 2 salves [5-1]
More sleeping siege in Dye-on-the River, activate and use. Found another cannon sleeping in Kiss your axe goodbye.
Bonbard everything near Mansura, kill 2 redlined MDIs, 1 with cavalry and 1 with Elite musket which produces a leader, start happy dance again What to do with it, Hmmm. A quick look establishes we barely have enough cavalry to fill it and as a couple are elite they aren't going in the army. [7-1]
Kill Arab LB [8-1]
Kill 2 muskets and a spear in Heliopis and take the city [11-1] capturing the Great Lighthouse and 2 slaves. Keep city, start on walls.
Kill Mongol musket behind our lines [12-1]
Kill Mongol MDI with elite cavalry [13-1]
Checking F4 we have a new contact, I welcome the American ambassador into the throne room and decapitate him, sending the head back with my best wishes. For some reason this angers the Americans and we declare war. They have 6 cities and are down Mono, Fued and Engineering, can we say backwards. Turns out we met them because a galley sailed near Yamama, so prehaps they aren't on a seperate Island.
IBT:

Kill 2 muskets and a LB in Asyut taking the city [27-3] and capturing a treb, start on walls. We have now cleared that corner of the continent, when the armies have healed it is south with them Egypt down to 3 cities, I can see the borders for 2 of them.

We currently have 33% of the world and 49% of the population, half way there folks

3) 1230AD
Kill Egyptain and Russian LB near Giza [29-3]

IBT:
Arac LB attacks kiss the fur [35-3]
Mongols start Shakespears.

Kiss the Fur walls -> settler
6) 1255AD
Kill pike and spear in Edfu and take the city [59-3], start walls
Kill pike and spear in Pithom and take the city [61-3], start walls
Egypt has a single city left which I think I can take next turn
Kill Aztec LB [62-3]
IBT:
Big landings near Nagsu, Arabs land a LB and Aztecs 3 MDI and a musket, I kept some units nearby as I was expecting the Arabs, but this is a bit much
Aztecs are now interested in Muscat as well
Yamama worker -> settler
Tsetserleg settler -> settler

Mansura worker -> settler
Akshak cav -> cav
Susa's marching band court -> cav
9) 1270AD

Found New Kish to claim the Incense.
Thats it...
Notes:
The railnet has been started, but the workers are not yet in efficient groups, I should probably have started assembling them earlier but it slipped my mind. There are spices near Edfu, but unroaded and outside our current borders but we do have a settler in the area. The only other lux is Ivory and the Americans have that.
The only landing during my turns was at Nagsu, but the Aztecs and Mongols seem interested in Muscat.
There is a small force heading towards Mecca, it is hopefully enough to take it.
We are at 39%/56% land/pop. We have 6547 in gold saved. There is no prebuild for ToE yet, are we even going to bother; the only tech we don't have that would be nice is rep parts. I have a number of settlers building to fill out our lands.
The Mongols are the only people with Nationalism (apart from us) but the Arabs have now joined us in the new age. Nobody has MT.
