Got it. Not sure if I'll get through the full 10 or not; we'll see how it goes.
That's good news. We need railroads in the worst way.

@ Eldar, don't beat yourself up about the short whipping, I know I did it once or twice so we haven't wasted every opportunity!
Great turns btw, seems the tide may finally be on the turn against the hated Babs!
I'm back to full health now... thanks for the concern! Now if I could just sort out the stress from my impending wedding as easily...

Having done this recently myself, I have two tips:
1. Get drunk.
2. Don't spill red wine on your mother-in-law's expensive new suit.

I tried to make it through all ten turns, but I ran out of time after eight.
Steam Power came in on my first turn, and we have plenty of coal (two in southern Japan, one near the Mongol border, one more on the Babylonian frontier), so I spent a lot of time building railroads (and beefing up our worker force, which was very much inadequate). I concentrated on east-west lines and managed to connect Entremont to the Mongol front and the Amazon to Carthage. So troop movement is much easier now.
I managed to lose a near-full-strength cavalry army to one stupid musket at Theveste, but aside from that, the war went pretty well. Carthage developed Nationalism a few turns in, so I blockaded Hannibal and turned my attention to the Mongols. On my last turn, I took Karakorum and was assembling forces for an assault on Almarikh; we're getting really close to having a connected empire.
Dry Point and New Camulodunum flipped back to us. That's the nice thing about playing a 100K game....
Here's what the war zone looks like now:
We have a ridiculous number of settlers piling up to the east of the Mongols, who hopefully can be usefully employed once we clear out a couple more cities.

Go talk to Mao - he'll give us outdated techs and a bit of gpt for Physics and/or Metallurgy. We should burn some of our cash on Nationalism; I'd suggest 80%, which is -292gpt. After we run out of cash, fall back to 0% and see if anyone will sell (nobody will right now). France appear to be politest of the AIs right now.
Mongolia at least looks ready to fall.

Ok I'm finally back and I've been keeping abreast of things while I was gone. It looks like things might be getting better but not out of the woods yet.
Glad to hear your feeling better mab, also good luck on the wedding....
back on topic, Is American and France still hitting the Babylonians?
Will Carthage give techs for peace?? Since we have them on an isolated pennisula we could sue for peace and get a cheap tech. Plant an undefended city near their border and get them to attackso we could finish them off.
As far as Mongolia is concerned, I'd take out the northern cities first (to connect our empire and remove their production cities) then go for the tundra cities to finish them off.

Well it looks like I'm going to have a lot more time on my hands from tomorrow... remember I was ill? Well my employers are probably going to sack me tomorrow for taking 3 days off sick (without pay!) 
I'm on a temporary contract with a week's notice period and my other half got a phonecall from the agency at 5.30 (while I was at the doctors!) saying I shouldn't go into work tomorrow and to phone the agency asap. Doesn't sound good, does it? 
Still... bright side get loads more time to play Civ!
I'll let you know tomo
Back o/t... great job there minute man... that coal'll really help the war effort

Sorry to hear about the job. Don't be too aweful aggressive with the war plans. It seems as though we've been burned a few times for being stretched too thin. And remember the culture thing.

I'd suggest finishing off the Mongols, do what you will with Carthage, then get the troops ready by the Babylonian border.
Oh, and build railroads

I'll be playing in a bit, nice advice re the too much agression. You guys have shown me the way of the warmonger and how to sneakily get what you want from the AI.
On a slightly more o/t note... what time is it in the US (east and west coasts?)

no it's still April Fool's day for another 9.5 hours on the east coast and 12.5 hours on the west coast, but the cat's out of the bag so you can't do that now!
Sorry... JOMT syndrome took hold of me there!
I'm just going to give a quick summary as can't really be bothered to post a full turn log (besides it'd take you an hour to read it!)
Mongols are no-more
Carthage are getting cocky and have nearly everyone else in an emabergo against us. Joan is polite (can't remember why!) and I did a few minor trades.
I maxed research on nationalism for 4 turns then ran out of cash. Nobody will accept gpt payments so we're screwed for now. Should get it in 6 turns anyway at 40%
Babs have also been playing silly buggers... one of their privateers sunk a galleon and another is attempting to blockade a port city.
No cities were lost About 20 more were founded (see if you can spot which ones 
) and Matsuyama flipped to us on my second to last turn
Score 4223
