Looks like I am good to go. I got it
Preturn: Good to go
IBT: Korean chariot lands near Bapedi.
130 BC: Kill Chariot with Archer.
Isandawa is prebuilding a Galley now.
IBT: Carthage builds a Worker.
110 BC:
IBT: Badepi builds a settler, Ngome a Worker, The museum of mooses..er... mausoleum of Mausollos is built by the Hittites.
90 BC: Settler heading toward eventual iron.
IBT: Build an Impi.
70 BC: We may be able to MM a turn off map making.
IBT: Another landing near Badepi by Greek. Build an Impi
50 BC: Kill landed Archer.
IBT: Both Korea and Hittites land 2 units, 3 of which are mere Warriors. Get a Settler
30 BC: Bombard one pair of Warriors. Archer Warrior are not next to anything and can wait a turn.
IBT: Injure Warriors retreat. Acher Warrior advance toward Ulundi. er... I think we built something.
Get Map Making and decide to go for Horseback Riding in 5. Higher mobility offensive units will help. Then we can go for Monarchy after that.
10 BC: Kill all landed units.
IBT: Losing track of builds...
10 AD:
IBT: Galley Built.
30 AD: Send off Impi and Settler.
IBT: Build Settler, Worker, and Impi. Two Horsemen are landed near Mpondo.
50 AD: Build Tugela on our side of the 'boat across'. Land a Settler and Impi on the other side.
Notes:
We got 3 Workers near Tugela. The idea is to ship them across to start a road toward the iron.
We should also send over another Impi and the Cat in Tugela. We could place the next town in the spot above the cows and go around the forest and start of the Jungle. Terrain is awful so we may want even more workers to complete the road faster.

We may want to move units currently near Ulundi closer to Mpondo. Ulundi needs 2 units in order to not have unrest, so I think the AI is now retargeting. Somewhere between would be a good spot for our Archers.
I forgot to mention one of our Archers went Elite - and this is our only one. This is kind of suprising given we are a Mil Civ. It is possible we took too many risks with our Elites or we got unlucky. It is true we fought fewer battles than normal, but we shouldn't have had none.

Good to see that we have a foothold on the second Island now. Let's try and get the iron as swift as possible. I also agree with the research path. After HBR, we should aim for monarchy.

We ping it with our 3-4 cats until we get it to 1 hp and then kill it. Iron is why the foothold on the other landmass is such a priority - it is our only source and we are a long way from connected.
We could use some more cats for this very reason - that Hoplites stacked with other units could be expensive to deal with. Our current Cat total is not big enough to reliably redline a hoplite to expose defense 1 units beneath.

We can build on the Iron, I believe, and probably should, that way they can't pillage it, only the roads that lead there. I'd rather fight potential pillagers on flat land.
I was thinking we may start with a colony first. Depends on the settler situation,but the AI won't cut road in neutral lands and will mostly leave a colony alone if it is defended (ignored more so than a town at least).

Inherited turn...
We have 43 units with a limit of 48; 2 settlers, 9 workers, 2 warriors, 9 archers, 4 cats, 13 Impi's, 3 curragh and a galley as well as a pair of slaves.
We are strong against the Hittites and Korea and weak against Greece. All 3 AI's are still despots so we aren't too far behind, although the science advisor is complaining (as always
) HBR is due in 3 with a positive gpt.
Carthage will be unhappy nest turn so I move an archer in there.
We are building a warrior in Tugela, not sure why and Greebly left me no hits. I think a worker would be more useful so I change it.
Off we go.

Greece lands an Ancient Cavalry and an archer between Bapedi and Ulundi.

, second archer goes red without hitting the AC before winning the fight and promoting, third archer kills archer clean [3-1]

There is a settler on the iron island. My idea was to build where the Impi is fortified and then another city on the hills south of the iron. This will allow 2 or 3 cities on the other coast.
There is a Korean galley near Carthage. I moved the Impi from Carthage to Swazi this turn. If there is a landing in the forest next to Carthage then you can move the Impi back, but if the landing was near Swazi the city couldn't be defended.

Looks like we are getting fully established on the other island - I see several settlers on the way One comment I had was not to waste time with the Cows - the current workers should go straight for the Iron. We can also have the cities on the new island build workers first to get the improvements we need.
Note that the new island has no water source. Fortunately it is mostly Grassland.
I also see a town of the final Civ - Egypt on some coast we have already passed on the Greek continent

Yep, you are probably right, my bad. The island will probably be OK once we have cleared all the jungle and swamp.
It might be the small map , but corruption is terrible; Carthage only seems to want to produce 1 uncorrupted shield. We are also hurting for happiness.
When I was playing I was thinking about who we are going to attack when we have swords. The Hittites seem to be the best bet, they are closest, accessible with galleys and have (at least) 2 luxuries. We also have a culture problem, unlike the last game our culture is much lower that the AI's so keeping the captured cities will be problematical.

Finished playing, we are on our way to Iron, just need it hooked in. There were no landings at all, was very boring. I started the Forbidden Palace, built a few more cities and moved one. A note, our capital needs MM'ed to avoid a riot.

Nicely done. I was looking at Mpondo during my turns, but I couldn't decide what to do with it.
You were a bit luckier than me, I got a number of landings and the AI couldn't decide where to invade so I was running all over the place.

I guess it was such a pathetic landing that I forgot about it. Either that, or boredom-induced Alzheimers. Oh well. Once we get some Iron, we can make things exciting again.

Pre-turn: Hire a scientist in Zimbabwe.
370AD- Hittites start Glib.
400AD- Mpondo founded
420AD- Monarchy> Philo. Revolt. We have about 3 towns that have to lose pop due to starvation. Greece finishes ToA. Hittites land reg warrior at Tugela
430AD- Ship cat back to mainland where it knocks an hp off reg warrior. Vet horse kills it clean and goes elite. We will be out of anarchy in 4. With scientists, we have philo in 7 for now. Egypt finishes Great Wall in Thebes.
440AD- Korea lands a horse at Utica
450AD- Use cat to knock an HP off the Korean horse. Kill it with one of our own horses.
And done.
Post-turn: There are a few workers building a road outside the border of Mpondo so we can connect up a new town once another settler is ready.
There is a Greek galley by Utica which may drop something next turn.
There are 2 turns of anarchy remaining.
