It tooks some time, but here we go:
The Save
1560: Germany was killed by Greece
Babylon sign a trade embargo against greece
Babylon trade Military tradition for 280g
i changed to Theory of Gravity
I decided this because if greece land units then they land rifl and cavs
and they sign packts with the others against us. And we can't stay
with our AA units against this.
1565: 1st greece ship near Oea
1570: greece and persia sign a pact for defence
1575: another greece ships near rome, but no landings
1580: Celts ask for banking (NO), they DoW us
1585: greece ironclads are bombing our coast (about 10 ships
)
i damaged 3 with cats
1590: more bombings (i damaged another one)
1595: they go on
Babylon trades horses+5gpt for ivory
1600: First landing -- 4 rifl+1 cav+1 MI in the W of Rome
(Who said AI's can't fight iland wars?)
killed all of them for the loss of 1 cav, 1 knight and 1 MI
but again, no luck, no leader and only one elite promo
1605: the next 2 cavs arriving (killed them with no loss and no promo)
I hope we can stay this long enough. We need defnetly more leaders and promos. More luck to the next better player.

Sorry, Taliesin, we waited too long.
Here's the SAVE.
Carthage at 10537 culture. Only 130 more turns at 73/turn.
At peace again. Building cav or improvements. We still have 10 turns in a peace for gold deal with Alex. Sci can go up for a few turns when that runs out. We probably should wait for nationalism to get MPP's before next war, if any.
1605AD(0) - Alex offers peace for 228g. I decide to take it. We desperately need more cav.
1610AD(1) - Oea completes courthouse, starts market. Must disband 2 archers.
1615AD(2) - Disband more units to help with builds.
IBT: Hatma renegs deal for 1 less gpt.
1620AD(3) - Disband archers. Make peace with Celts, trade Met+Bank=Nav+Mag.
1625AD(4) - Sci to 40% for ToG in 2.
1630AD(5) - 3 more disbands.
IBT: Renegotiate with Hammi for 1 more gpt. Settlers go for the gap.
1635AD(6) - Cover gaps with workers. Go for Steam.
1640AD(7) - Nada.
1645AD(8) - Nada.
1650AD(9) - more disbands.
1655AD(10) - more disbands.
I disbanded a few units to get the gold savings for the units we will replace with cav. These were used to hurry unit or improvements.
After looking at the tech race it occurs to me that we could curry favor with 3 civs by trading techs generously - Ottomans, Scandanavia, and the Celts. We can use that to get a MPP once we get nationalism.

No hard feelings-- I figured this would happen.
Sorry about that. I really meant to play Thursday night, believe it or not, but one thing and then another came up and I had to do various things-- coursework and some house-work projects as well.
I'll be more careful about allotting some time to play next time.
Is Medicine generally known? I thought we would try to get a monopoly on it.
Good work managing the wars, alamo!
EDIT: sorry, that wasn't clear. This isn't a got-it.

I'm not sure about SGOTM5 - it looks pretty harsh, especially with the variant! I assume the strategy to no-build is to wait for people to settle around you and accumulate some culture before you can take their towns. Of course a leader for a palace rush in a better spot would be sufficient, but not very likely.
If we were non-variant we would be cleaning up about now.
Also, we need another player. 5 people in rotation would go quicker.

I am up for SGOTM5 as well. It is quite strange that we are on an ice patch on the equator.
I vote to play the variant, I never played it before and it sound challenging.
Alamo: please sign us in (after Detlef voice is heard).
As for SGOTM4:
does anybody playing now? It is more than 24 hours since I posted the save.
Perhaps we need to do a roster list?
Perhaps we need to do play 15/20 turns each to speed up the game?

Go ahead. I'm sorry about not playing as much lately, but I've got term tests and a paper coming up, as well as some other commitments. I might be able to play by the weekend, but skip me unless I surface with a got-it.
