After studying the situation for awhile, I decided to follow your lead.
The Greeks are no more!
All three of their remaining cities are ours, and road to the dye is almost done. Even better, a Great Leader appeared while taking Mycanea. The Forbidden Palace was completed in Corinth in 1 turn!
If we build enough temples and libraries in Corinth and its neighbor towns, the English and Egyptian cities will most likely turn, and become ours. Mwah-hah-hah!
Sun Tzu's is completed in Rome. I started a library - finish it and build a university ASAP!!!
OK. There is some bad news. The English are KILLING us in science. They beat me hands down to Astronomy and built Copernicus', then started JS Bach. We are WAY behind them.
I established an embassy in London, which has Pyramids, Hanging Gardens and Sistine Chapel in addition to a library and a university on the way. Sheesh!
They built Copernicus' in another city entirely, and are building JS Bach in yet another! Damn!
OK. We can still beat them to Economics, so I started researching Banking. LETS GET ADAM SMITH'S FIRST! Then we can go for Gunpowder and start looking toward war with England later.
Remember this, England gets MORE powerful at the end of the middle ages and into the industrial age. Somehow we need an edge. Egypt is pathetic, very weak. They can do little for us.
We could ally with England, its a possibility too. They dont like us much, but dont hate us enough to attack us. At least thats my feeling. So its another option.
We need a goal. Military conquest means tangling with the English superpower someday. If we ally with them, we have an even shot at other options. Either way is a challenge.
This game is very interesting and very unusual. Good luck to whoever is next.
