I agree with NP about research. We should slow our research. We can ill afford another war at this moment.
Often, the AI attacks towns that are defended apropriately but not too well. It's a slight risk one has to take in order for the AI to attack and not wander through the land (which is worse)

Got it. Will try to get some play in tonight, but won't have much time. Will finish by tomorrow night in any case.

lurker's comment: Fantastic Job! When I try from NP's save, I either got NY or Chicago overrun by Immortals, or got Philly overrun by Sumerians. And it seems that empty city could lure Persians.
The hardest part was keeping the Swords flexible enough to defend the other cities if they changed targets - which they did. As it was I had to build a regular sword instead of the barracks and pop-rush another to have a chance at saving the western cities.
RNG was also on my side for the most part. Things could have easily gone much worse. A sword vs a defending Immortal can easily lose.

Boston is Hill+Wall+Fortified, that would overcome reg immortals with archer free hit.

I start with the vImmortal on the hills near Boston, because the outcome of that single battle will determine what troops I can spare from that area. Our vSword loses 1hp to defeat the Persian. Our eArcher out of DC redlines but kills the spearman.
Then things turn bad: vSword succeeds in redlining one of the stacked immortals but ultimately dies. eSword attacks the other stacked vImmortal and also dies, promoting the immortal to 3/5hp. [5-4]
I move a spearman out of Boston, a warrior out of Atlanta, and upgrade a warrior in DC.

More nice work against the Persians. 
Getting plunged right into another war is a bad break, but inevitable given our variant.
To have any chance of survival we have to do several things before hitting Enter:
1. Merge one of the workers draining marsh next to Seattle into Seattle, and immediately pop-rush walls there.
2. Move the other worker next to Seattle into Philadelphia, so we'll have the merge-and-rush option there too.
3. Move the swordsman between Seattle and Philadelphia into Philadelphia, and the warrior with it into Seattle. We're going to lose communication between the two towns anyway, so we might as well save the units.
4. Start moving all the swordsmen in our core towards Seattle. It's a desperate gamble, but in a situation like this we have to commit all our strength to the active front and just accept our fate if we're attacked from the other direction too.
5. I'd change all or most of our military builds to spearmen, too. It's painful when we no longer have iron hooked up and the swordsmen on order are the last we can build, but in this situation we're going to live or die by passive defense of walled towns. Attacking Sumerian stacks anchored by so many Enks is out of the question anyway.
Also, next turn we should start moving our settler towards the hill two tiles SW of Atlanta, so that we'll have the option of basing our defense on a town founded there if we lose Seattle.

I agree with NP's measures 1, 2, and 4.
I would not do 3, but rather try to hold that road. Otherwise we won't be able to reinforce Philly anymore. It'll be a few turns before they come calling. There have been few attacks on that road during my turns, they're mostly aiming for Philly. If we can get an elite spearman on that tile, it will probably be left alone altogether.
I would not do 5, at least not everywhere. Once the initial rush of the Sumerians runs out, we'll be in a decent position. They don't have iron I think. Let's not overdo it.
The Sumerians have not moved towards Seattle so far, even though they could have. By the time they decide to go there, a few turns will have passed. They'll come knocking for peace not too long after that. If we're going to lose Philly and Seattle rather soon, I think we'll have to give up the game anyway. So I would settle the cleared marsh tile NW-NW-W of Atlanta with that settler.

Way to hang it there Mumpulus. It appears the save is to me but before I take it we should come to agreement on 3 and 5. I'll take a look at the save and give some thoughts before I play.
Have a safe trip TheRat! Thanks for leaving me this beauty!

5 is a judgement call and it's up to Whomp whether he wants spearmen quickly or swordsmen later, except that a horseman would be utterly useless now and Washington should definitely change to building a spearman.
As for 3, I just think it's too optimistic to hope that we can hold a tile without much defensive value--and a luxury tile, moreover--against all the units the Sumerians have. Philadelphia is inevitably going to be cut off, and I'd rather see it isolated with an extra swordsman to hold it than lose that swordsman as it defends without walls.

Philadelphia is inevitably going to be cut off, and I'd rather see it isolated with an extra swordsman to hold it than lose that swordsman as it defends without walls.
It seems to me trying to press any offensive against the Sumerians is near impossible. The two northern towns are on hills and getting to Bad-tibira and Agade on grass would take a lot of defensive wins to knock back their archers/horses and a MGL. They have 6 vet archers, 3 reg archer and a 2/4 archer on the hills surrounding Philly.
The horseman will do us very little good on this terrain and will change to a spear. The NY sword will take 5 turns and 2 for a spear. That means it can reach Seattle in the same period of time the sword would finish. In Atlanta there's also a 3 turn difference and a spear would be fortified in Philly by the time the sword starts moving.
If we gain a MGL there's enough swords fill the army and possibly try turning the tide with a raze.
On the other hand, I'm inclined to keep the road. If we lose that we'll eventually lose Philly. EW's will block our way and the lack of fast healing in Philly will be a matter of attrition.
It's possible I'll have to move the road units to Seattle anyhow as they have 4 archers that can be next door on the IT.

OK, these are your decisions to make now. Good luck.
You're right that the idea of taking a Sumerian city looks like a fantasy, unless we get a Leader/army. We can only hope to make them sue for peace by slaughtering their units as they attack our walled cities.

Pre-turn: Move the workers into Seattle and Philly. Rush walls in Seattle. I'll change the builds in the cities to "just in time" spears to make sure we need them. Move out all northern units to the front and push up lux to 50% for NY.

Well, we played correctly and we don't have anything to regret except our luck. Starting at close quarters with the Persians and another civ with an ancient GA was just too much, in this variant.

This sort of game isn't all that easy after all...
I will be gone for 2 weeks but am surely up to try this again. For a larger map, we need to have a better start I think

We were also unlucky in the leader department. I count at least 9 elite victories in the last set, probably a few more even, I had 5 in my set, probably a few in Greebley's set, and 4 in NP's set.
I'm also up for another try, same settings but a (slightly) better start.
