Did my best, can probably be improved…

I moved several Workers near Aachen to build a mine to increase Wealth output.
Other than that, I have not moved any military units because we have several choices to make.
Ravenna is relatively weakly defended and it is within range of Delhi’s Airships. While we are assaulting Cumae, we could grab Ravenna to cut down on the cultural obstructions we will face trying to get to Rome?
After Action Report:
We got a Great Merchant and there are two sitting in X-ville.
We currently have 1066 Gold and are losing 110 per turn at 100% research. We have enough to get the last 6-turns or so to victory. As we take Roman cities, we’ll have even more. Medicine is now due in 3-turns.
Builds are on schedule. UN is awaiting one more turn to completion in Horseville.
There is a Galleon next to Pharsalos that has been watch for any naval activity by Pericles. None has been noted. This Galleon can be moved back into the chain and that makes one available near X-ville to carry Settlers to the islands north.
Augustus has been accommodating and sent many of his units south to Cumae. To check on the status of Antium, an Airship flown over Rome will show Antium. Last turn showed three units; CBT1/Shock Praet, a CBT1 Pike and a Woodsman1 Axe.
Let’s bring home SCT!!
