Happy Yule!
Report is going to be light on details because I have to pack tonight 
Ok, I'm going to finish Sailing, just because I think it'll be more benificial to us sooner than later (since we'll be able to use it to get around Cathy's jungle).
Looking through the diplo screens: Cathy is currently denied Horses and Iron. That'll change once Yekaterinburg hooks them up, but at least that indicates those are (possibly) her only source.
Looking at Techs, HC is up Meditation, Poly, Sailing and Math. Cathy is up the same except Poly. HC also obviously has Code of Laws since he's Confused. That means he also has either Currency or Priesthood, although I think Priesthood is more likely. Neither have Alphabet.
It's obvious we're behind and need to catch up in techs. I switch to Math ... we'll worry about Sailing later. We'll probably need to go for currency afterwards, although I still like the idea of going for Metal Casting, but at 51 turns I don't know if it's worth it.
Turn 0 -- 340 BC
Nothing to change, everything looks good.
Turn 1 -- 325 BC
Peace Treaty is over.
Memphis: Archer > Research. This shaves 9 turns off of Math, and we can't afford any more soldiers. I send the Archer down to Sugar City Site.
Turn 2 -- 310 BC
Turn 3 -- 295 BC
I think the mountains were a trick. Looks like it's just ocean.
Turn 4 -- 280 BC
Turn 5 -- 265 BC
I start pre-building cottages for Sugar City.
Turn 7 -- 235 BC
Toynbee compiles his Largest Civilizations of the World. We're 5th (puny). Cathy is 7th (Hopeless), and HC is 4th (Mediocre).
Yekaterinburg's culture has pushed back on Heliopolis, losing us the cows and cottage
Turn 8 -- 220 BC
Thebes completes his settler. Starts a Granary (which will finish before Thebes grows again)
Turn 10 -- 190 BC
Elephantine is built. Starts Library.
I whip Heliopolis' Library.
Turn 11 -- 175 BC
Helipolis: Library > Barracks
Ok, this is odd ... Catherine converts to Buddhism?
... she must've met someone else, methinks! (It's not HC, I checked)
Turn 13 -- 145 BC
Heliopolis got the cows and cottage back.
Turn 14 -- 130 BC
Turn 15 -- 115 BC
Ok, Math is due in 2. Our science is currently 50% at +2gpt. I think our infra is a little better at this point, but I'd recommend holding back on the whip as it seems our cities are slow growers.
To give you an idea of how non-dramatic my turn was, here's the upload turnlog:
Here is your Session Turn Log from 340 BC to 115 BC:
Turn 154, 190 BC: Elephantine has been founded.
Turn 154, 190 BC: Catherine converts to Buddhism!
And yes, the Mountains were red herrings.
Save is on the Results page, still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
EDIT: Oh yeah, we should probably have the Workboat work the fishes now for the extra health.

... I obviously underestimated Monarch. 
spread in one of your cities.
... don't know for sure. However, if Cathy has met someone, and has opened borders, then I imagine we'd meet them pretty quick.
Correct, she does need to have open borders for that. Never experienced anything else. So you might already have to deal with ... you declared war on our friends 
it is our always Peace civ. That way they won't go after us for taking Cathy out 
?
sometimes.
... so, um, with the binary construction research, we'll have it ... when?
