Okay, turnset played. 15 turns.
Here is the save.
1) The Mansa Musa mini-stack retreated back into MM-land without attacking after I bolstered Utica's defenses. However, it's back, and I redirected some defenders to Utica to handle it. It shouldn't be a problem.
2) I pillaged heavily in MM and Hannibal territory throughout the TS. A single chariot is wreaking havoc around Kumbi Saleh, which is defended by only two skirmishers and apparently unwilling to attack our Chariot. If it's eventually killed, oh well, it's destroyed like 2 villages, a hamlet, and a plantation so far. We've also played havoc on MM's roads and trade routes. All that pillaging helped paid for our research, which saw Sailing, Medi, and MC come in. I put several turns into Calendar.
3) Finding Sparta heavily defended with 7 archers and walls, and with our stack not exactly healthy, I elected to wait and build up a nice stack before attacking. Now we've got a fairly nice stack, with more cats on the way. Also, in the last 2 turns, 3 archers have abandoned the city to try to escort a settler. I have moved the stack south to intercept it on its likely path.
Additionally, 2 Carthaginian archers parked themselves on on the mine near York. I took a new Catapult in York and killed one, and risked one of York's archers @30% to kill the other before it could pillage. I actually won that fight, so no damage done, except a couple of wounded units.
4) On the domestic front: Athens built its courthouse, and i am chopping for its library, as its border pop is the first priority. We discovered Copper in a mine near London for an extra 2 hammers
. It's building a forge, as is York. Workers have improved much around Corinth, as that city should come online very quickly and help our flailing economy. On the bright side we're breakeven at 20% research now
.
Here's the autolog.
running OR. On top of this, we get Theology in 13 turns, denying the religion to another civ.

Anyway, good luck, GB!

our jumbos can be enough, but better go on the sure side
