Apologies in advance, this report is not as detailed as the last one, I wanted to get it up, rather than spend a day working on it.
675 BC:
Japan and his allied city state declares war on china.
650 BC:
meet singapore in the northeast
get policy, but do not spend it
625 BC:
start settler
trade incense to England for 143g + 5/turn
research agreement with askia for 200g
2 horses to wu zetian for 87 gold
A times the AIs can seem a bit shifty, at 675 BC, Hiawatha asks if we intend to attack, but 3 turns later...
600 BC:
pact of secrecy with odo has run its course
Iroquois declare on us!
new archers from Budapest
askia, wu zetian and hiawatha enter the medieval period!

lots of fighting, destroy several archers, a mohawk warrior, and a regular warrior
575 BC:
open borders to japan
wu zetian wants a pact of secrecy against hiawatha?!? Ok, since we at war with him!
lose a brute (as expected) to his attack
research gives us metal casting! (best possiblity, most were 5 turn, this was 12), change research to philosophy
odo enters medieval period (as do we)
Grand river falls, puppet it
upgrade 4 more brutes to swordsmen, our army is now 2 archers, 9 swordsmen, 2 great generals, plus a brute and scout on scouting duty
start workshop in Munich
550 BC:
colossus built in a far away land
askia wants war with napoleon, i ask him for 10 turns to prepare

400 BC:

incense to china for 106 gold + 5/turn
500 gold to tyre for 70 influence (we were about to lose allied)
375 BC:
trade marble to england for 111 gold + 6/turn
350 BC:
took worker with scout, lost scout to archers, but still have worker, prob good trade
construction done, start mathematics
325 BC:
Almaty wants a road
Osininka falls to our forces
Upgraded last brute to swordsman at tyre
Turn 120 we get research agreement with askia, prob want to research cheap techs so we get a good one when that comes in:
Here is the settler, he still has moves left, I would put him where he is now, but the next guy can make the final call (I like to leave forests for lumber mills, we almost have the tech):
Road is building now to buffalo creek, we have enough workers to devote 2-4 to building a road up to almaty, we need 10 sections built to get there (later we will want the 2 to Akwesasme). I do not think we will get the road done before we have to spend 250, but I would not spend 500, 250 is fine, as the road will not give that big a boost.
I would get a troop up to Beijing asap, as Odo keeps sending archers with a warrior to try to take the city, I think we should pounce when its hurt and take it, its a decent city and easy pickings at this point:
This is an overview:
There are definite barbarian camps south of berlin, between onondaga and warsaw (ne of munich), just north of budapest (circled in red), the one on the right is likely no longer there. I would use the newly upgraded swordsman and the archer from the east to sweep through and clear those camps (also escort the worker we 'acquired' there - it was a barbarian worker unescorted, turned out to be Odo's but I did not return it). Note, we are at war with Oslo, so be careful where you stand, do not get bombarded. I would recommend we leave Oslo alone, once Hiawatha is dead, we can make peace and our standing will go up rather quickly.
I noticed after I had played that I accidentally dipped into unhappiness, I suggest we build some happy buildings, get one of the luxury resources back (I think I gave one to China, so that would be the easiest to get back, by declaring war), or make a new city state ally that has a luxury resource we need. Also there are whales by the coast, we could pick those up for 5 happy (I do not think we already have).
Once the new city builds a library, we should probably build the national college in berlin (I did not bother to start it, since a new city was forthcoming). Note, puppet cities do not count for this, so do not annex them until we have the national wonders built that we wish to build. (I personally keep them puppets forever, but I am willing to try something different).
I was going to play to get us even at turn 100, but I actually played through to the beginning of 102, I just wanted to capture the 3rd city, upgrade the last brute, and the settler was ready, so seemed a better stopping point. I apologize if I overstepped my discretionary leeway.
-Iustus
- but that's another discussion
- ), but the last pic is just amazing!!! Nice work! 
My only remark is the french dow move: I did that once and it appears the 3rd AI won't declare till we do as well. I am not sure what happens if we don't respect our words. (to be precise, I am not sure we have anything to gain in a war against the french right now. Askia and the mids look more tempting 
- of course after shutting down the iroquois and chinese for good 
).
