Me, whip?
You must be confusing me with someone else now
I don't think I've used the whip once in this game, worrying.

It has been a long time now since the last internal whipping was needed! 
I've played 7 turns in 2 sets ... and there are 3 less faces in the F4 screen. (Tokunaga and Ragnor are still there, however, and Japan is still going to be the toughest nut to crack.) Hope to put it in a good spot for Mathilda and upload later today - Monday morning at the latest.

Turn 1, 1465 AD
Retake Delphi (no wonder; since we gifted it, they're all Japanese citizens!)
4/4 Cav vs 3/3 Inf --> 4/4 Inf (0-1)
4/4 Cav vs 4/4 Inf --> 1/4 Cav (1-1) and Delphi is ours again.
Workers reconnect Liverpool with the rest of the island (including the Tank it has to enforce our 'no Japanese troops' policy!)
4/4 Vet Tank vs 4/4 Inf --> 4/4 Tank (2-1)
same Tank vs 5/5 Cav --> 5/5 Tank (3-1)
4/4 Cav vs 4/4 Cav --> 3/4 Amer Cav (4-1) and L-T Island is cleared
That's it for Japanese units to take care of. Sign Peace with Tokugawa for Omi, Brighton and Suo, 6 Gold and WM.
Leave Lux at 10% (to give us some cushion; WW just dropped a lot); put Specialists back out to work!
Rush Airport in Suo; adjust Infantry we just landed on Tundra Island
York 4/4 Cav loses against 4/4 Rifleman (4-2)
Fine! Move 5 healthy Tanks adjacent to York
Move Cav with more than 1 HP to heal into cities; the ones with 1 HP of damage heal in place
Time to set up for House Calls on Tokugawa and Alex
Rebase 2 Helos to Ceasarea
Rebase 3 Helos to Corinth
Workers build Rail system through English and Vikings island
Rush 2 Settlers near Ceasarea and Airlift in 4 Infantry for drops next turn
Hmm, Settlers don't Airlift, so I need to build them wherever I might helicopter in from.
Spice Island - switch all cities to Airport; I want to be able to get all these units off from here quickly once the last Greek and Chinese city are taken.
Rush a couple Settlers in jungle zone of main continent
(IBT Japan lands 3 Cavs on Jungle Island - they're at war with everyone else, who could they be after
Lots of Japanese Navy head out (never catch me in one of those floating deathtraps!)
Japan and Vikings bomb each other
Vikings want a Trade Embargo against Japan; we give him a Luxury
Nothing much else of consequence; both Greece and China spit out a Settler on Jungle Island; where do they think they can escape to?)
Turn 2, 1470 AD
Several Tanks, Infantry and Settlers are built
Suo now has an airport
Hurry Airport at Omi
Airdrop 2 Inf and 1 Settler each in 2 open Tundra spaces on Northern part of Japan

4/4 Tank vs 3/3 Rif --> 4/4 Tank (8-3)
4/4 Tank vs 4/4 LongB --> 4/4 Tank (9-3) and the road is clear
Road to Uppsala:
4/4 Tank vs 3/3 Rif --> 1/4 Tank (10-3) and back to Lizzie's Doom to heal
4/4 Tank vs 4/4 LongB --> 4/4 Tank (11-3) and this road is clear
I've got 3 Tanks near Canturbury and 2 Tanks and 9 Cav Near Uppsala; 4 of the Cav can follow through to Canturbury if needed. This might be Lizzie's last IBT!
All Viking cities are now connected by Railroads - how thoughtful of our American Workers to do this for Ragnor during the exising ROP.
Kill Barb Warrior and disperse camp on Southern Tip of Jungle Island
Greeks have founded Qitaiodea down here.
Airdrop 2 Infantry on Kalmer island mountain; can't form a city here, so might need bombing from continent to take Kalmer
Rebase 5th helicopter to San Diego for landing on Macao island
Decide we need a round of Infantry, then a round of Tanks. Infantry to support Landings (1st), then Tanks built for Airlift.
(IBT 3 Japan Cav are heading through Jungle to Chinan; China is in bad shape!)
Turn 3, 1475 AD
2 more Infantry and a 6th Helo join the cause

4/4 Tank vs 2/2 Rif --> 4/4 Tank (15-3)
3/4 Tank vs 2/2 Rif --> 3/4 Tank (16-3) - only a LongB showing
I've miscalculated cultural radius effects, and the Cav from Uppsala can not attack!
4/4 Inf vs 4/4 LongB (across river into size 12 Canterbury) --> 1/4 LongB (16-4)
4/4 Inf vs 1/4 LongB --> 4/4 Inf, and England is out of the game! (17-4)

Paoting: 4/4 Inf vs 3/3 Spear --> 4/4 Inf and we Capture (19-4)
China is down to Macao, and the Caravel
Plebos Nexia:
5/5 Cav vs 3/3 Rifleman (DOW on the way in) --> 3/5 Cav, and our 1st GL! (20-4)
hmm, what are these things, and what do we do with them?
5/5 Cav vs 3/3 Rifleman --> 2/5 Cav (a Hoplite is left) (21-4)
4/4 Tank vs 3/3 Hoplite --> 3/5 Tank (22-4)
4/4 Tank vs 3/3 Hoplite --> 4/4 Tank (23-4), Plebos Nexia falls and Greece is no more!

Macao is captured, and Chinese are gone!
Mycenae - lose one Tank to 3/3 Inf (41-10)

We're still 500 tiles away from Domination, so we can keep or raze captured cities. Probably raze most Japanese cities to prevent Flips.
Ha, Ha! Japan signs MA against Vikings AND ROP AND 59 gpt for Atomic Theory!
Rebase 2 Helicopters to Boston to land in Northern Viking island; Rush a Settler in York and Canterbury to support future landings.
(IBT we get 4 bombardments again, and a Viking Transport leaves Kalmar
Japan Naval parades occur; lots of Ironclads and Destroyer)

English/Viking Island is now completely American held.
Rush an Airport at Nottingham (3rd Airport on this continent to move Tanks out later)
Change many builds on this continent to Artillery, so reduce the HPs of Kalmar's defenders
(IBT No attack on our stack on Northern Viking Island, and no Bombardments
1st Viking Transport heads East towards Greek/Viking Island
A 2nd Transport heads North of Northern Vikings Island

Airlift a Tank and Cav onto Omi for protection, eventually need forces to take Palmyra
Rush 2 Artillery in English/Viking Island
(IBT, Ragnor's Northern Doom fends off a Guerrilla attack)
Turn 10, 1510 AD
3 Artillery and 1 Bomber are working on Kalmar - not enough yet
9 Tanks continue South to Ravenna; this is a key city at a chokepoint in the Japanese continent, by controlling it we keep the Northern Forces in the North and the Southern forces in the South. I'd hold on to Ravenna after capturing it, if possible.
The 17 Tanks move out, but are blocked by a city-worker combination. They are positioned where they can capture all 3 Japanese cities in the North.
3 Helos fly out from London and drop 8 Infantry and 1 Settler near Cumae, Pisae and Veii
3 Helos fly out of Shimonoseki and drop 8 Infantry and 1 Settler near Kyoto, Tokyo, Nogoya and Satsuma
Airlift some tanks to Ragnor's Northern Doom, and another Tank to Omi. Place some defenders in coastal cities near the Viking Transport (next to Plebos Nexia right now)
End of Turnlog
Vikings: We've got a city on the Northern Viking Island, and 3 Tanks, which can be added to a bit to hurry up the end of Ragnor and his clan. There are 3 Artillery near Kalmar, and I've rushed 3 more this turn, so we can hopefully be bombarding Kalmar's defenders down to 1 hp each; then our Infantry there will have a chance to capture it. More Artillery is probably needed. I don't anticipate any more drops into the Japanese continent, so we could also build lots more Infantry and airdrop them in by helo.
Japan: currently at Peace with ROP in effect. Got 17 Tanks in the North ready to go. 9 Tanks in the center near Ravenna to capture that key chokepoint. 2 Stacks of Infantry with Settler, ready to found 2 more cities to give Japan something else to think about. Next turn we will have enough cash to short rush Worker, then rush Airport, in both of these new cities. I think the main Japanese continent is ready for us to start the war.
Japan also has 1 city on English-Viking continent, which should fall very easily (Guerilla and Cav should be only defenders and we have lots of forces on the continent.) Japan has 2 cities on Jungle Island; I expect Sapporo to have an Infantry and Herakleia to have just Cav; we have 2 Tanks and lots of Cav so these should be no problem. Palmyra is still there, but we have Omi and can ship in units to finish off Palmyra. And there's still Bizen to capture, but we have Suo with Airport (might want to raze Brighton, or not) and Infantry defenders right now, so we'll need some Tanks to capture this tundra island.
That's about it. Over to you Mathilda!

5/5 Tank vs 2/4 Inf --> 4/5 Tank (49-12)
4/4 Tank vs 2/2 Rif --> 3/4 Tank (50-12)
5/5 Cav vs 1/4 Rif --> 4/5 Cav (51-12) and we capture Nidaros
English/Viking Island is now completely American held.
Rush an Airport at Nottingham (3rd Airport on this continent to move Tanks out later)
Change many builds on this continent to Artillery, so reduce the HPs of Kalmar's defenders
(IBT No attack on our stack on Northern Viking Island, and no Bombardments
1st Viking Transport heads East towards Greek/Viking Island
A 2nd Transport heads North of Northern Vikings Island
Japan lands Guerilla/Cav/Settler on English/Viking Island
We get some Plants in front of our Castle)
Turn 9, 1505 AD
Ragnor's Northern Doom is founded on North Viking Island, and an Airport rushed (Worker short rushed first)
Rebase Helicopters to London (3 total here now)
Mycenae, round2:
4/4 Tank vs 4/4 Inf --> 1/4 Tank, and we capture and Raze Mycenae (52-12)
9 Tanks head into Japanese Territory from Toku's North Doom
17 more Tanks are Airlifted into Toku's North Doom
Airlift a Tank and Cav onto Omi for protection, eventually need forces to take Palmyra
Rush 2 Artillery in English/Viking Island
(IBT, Ragnor's Northern Doom fends off a Guerrilla attack)
Turn 10, 1510 AD
3 Artillery and 1 Bomber are working on Kalmar - not enough yet
9 Tanks continue South to Ravenna; this is a key city at a chokepoint in the Japanese continent, by controlling it we keep the Northern Forces in the North and the Southern forces in the South. I'd hold on to Ravenna after capturing it, if possible.
The 17 Tanks move out, but are blocked by a city-worker combination. They are positioned where they can capture all 3 Japanese cities in the North.
3 Helos fly out from London and drop 8 Infantry and 1 Settler near Cumae, Pisae and Veii
3 Helos fly out of Shimonoseki and drop 8 Infantry and 1 Settler near Kyoto, Tokyo, Nogoya and Satsuma
Airlift some tanks to Ragnor's Northern Doom, and another Tank to Omi. Place some defenders in coastal cities near the Viking Transport (next to Plebos Nexia right now)
End of Turnlog
Vikings: We've got a city on the Northern Viking Island, and 3 Tanks, which can be added to a bit to hurry up the end of Ragnor and his clan. There are 3 Artillery near Kalmar, and I've rushed 3 more this turn, so we can hopefully be bombarding Kalmar's defenders down to 1 hp each; then our Infantry there will have a chance to capture it. More Artillery is probably needed. I don't anticipate any more drops into the Japanese continent, so we could also build lots more Infantry and airdrop them in by helo.
Japan: currently at Peace with ROP in effect. Got 17 Tanks in the North ready to go. 9 Tanks in the center near Ravenna to capture that key chokepoint. 2 Stacks of Infantry with Settler, ready to found 2 more cities to give Japan something else to think about. Next turn we will have enough cash to short rush Worker, then rush Airport, in both of these new cities. I think the main Japanese continent is ready for us to start the war.
Japan also has 1 city on English-Viking continent, which should fall very easily (Guerilla and Cav should be only defenders and we have lots of forces on the continent.) Japan has 2 cities on Jungle Island; I expect Sapporo to have an Infantry and Herakleia to have just Cav; we have 2 Tanks and lots of Cav so these should be no problem. Palmyra is still there, but we have Omi and can ship in units to finish off Palmyra. And there's still Bizen to capture, but we have Suo with Airport (might want to raze Brighton, or not) and Infantry defenders right now, so we'll need some Tanks to capture this tundra island.
That's about it. Over to you Mathilda!

Looking gooood 
I like turn six, nice little surprise for our loyal Viking friends
I've taken a short look, but will not play tonight, too late for that now.
Some plans : change to mobilisation. Disconnect Haku's resources as a way of declaring war.
What I don't understand is what so we need so many settlers for.
We have five and are building another fourteen.
Have we used all the airports this turn already, or can we lift some more units?

Mobilization! (D'oh!) 
Forgot about that! Some of our cities can probably make a Tank a turn with that on.
I just helicoptered in the Infantry and Settlers this turn. I'd declare next turn, by founding our new cities, attacking Japanese cities, whatever. I wouldn't start the war until next turn - 1515; gives our units full movement and gets those new cities founded and so they can rush their airports and only have to survive 1 turn of attacks.
Most airports have been used. There might be a few on our main continent that are still available, but very few.
Settlers - I did need several more than what I started with. Wealth is fairly inconsequential now, since we're making over 800 gpt. Problem with wealth is it doesn't store any shields - if I want to rush something now, I have to pay a higher price. So I switched many builds from Wealth to something else so I could rush things less expensively if needed.
I would still build another 2 or 3 Settlers. Mostly on the English-Viking continent, or L-T island. They can be helicoptered to the Japanese Continent. From there, you move them forward with Infantry defense one space into Japan's territory; next turn, found city and your Tanks just gained 2 free spaces of movement. This is a way to speed up Tank warfare, since Tanks only move 2 (unless you're the Germans).
Good Luck! (I'm pretty sure we're about 20 turns behind Team Tao, so don't be stressed. The Territory display on the SGOTM status screen tells all!)
(edit: BTW, we have a bare army at Alex's Last Call. I made an army out of the Leader to see if it could be airlifted out - it can't. The leader wouldn't airlift either, and I didn't want to move the helicopters away from what they were doing, so this leader didn't get used very well.)

Nice Job, Queen M! Japan fell quickly before your mighty whip of Dooooommmm!
(btw, I nearly cross-posted with you, but was looking down along the previous posts and thought "Hmmm... this one looks new.... omgshweet!")
Also, good turn set, CS! As for mobilization, don't sweat it. Technically, it was supposed to happen during my turnset, but I took at abridged one. Peanut had to deal with the influx of infantry and getting Hoovers, so that would cause mobilization to slip anyone's mind. The comment was never really directed at you, so it's easy to understand why it was forgotten (I certainly would have). Besides, I'd say things turned out rather nicely.
Good job everyone! It's been real fun playing with all of you!

Oh, and here's the pre-victory save if somone want to look through.

Alright!! The waiting is over, the game is over; very nice close-out, Mathilda! Ragnor gave Kalmar up! That's a good way to do it!
Great game, everyone! ... And looking forward to the next one! (BTW, we can review other threads now, and see what worked for others, etc.)

Viewing other threads - It looks very worrying on our part of the competition.
Ivan and Tao beat us, x-team and durkz are still playing, but looking at the graphs, we might have lost this one

We're not in running for the official 'Wooden Spoon' award, but it does appear likely we will be the slowest PTW/Vanilla Team.
One thing I noticed in the Team Klarius thread is using the Gift and Retake strategy combined with mass-bombardments of near-by AI main-continent cities to get those cities and a toehold on their continent. We had some luck getting peripheral cities on remote islands, but no luck getting toeholds on the main continents; in retrospect, this might have sped things up considerably.

Peanut
A Slightly Nutty Flavour
Great finish, Mathilda. Following, of course, a fine strategic position created by CS. We may not have won, but we had jolly good fun playing this one, eh what ? I am interested to go and see how we could have done this quicker, so I have a bit of reading to do now.
Lastly : Will Team Peanut (with a new recruit) ride to battle again next round ? Do you want a name change given that your figurehead's contribution has been a touch patchy of late ? Or are you happy to remain the team with a slighty nutty flavour ?

Hope to see you all next round - which shouldn't be too far away.

OK, I guess it's time that the "dedicated lurker" introduces himself.
But first let me start with congratulating the team for playing an interesting and educational game. Especially the way that the team recovered from the early disease was impressive
Now my introduction.
A few years ago I played intensively vanilla civ3 for quite some time without becoming a real good player. Played not higher than regent then. And after a while I lost interest in the game.
But I became an off-topic poster on these forums, the place where I initially met my girl-friend Mathilda.
She got me interested in civ3 again, although it was in Conquests. And in the last few months I have played quite a number of Conquests games, mainly on Monarch and Emperor level. And I like it so much that I want to participate in the SGOTM too (as Mathilda already told you), although I have to learn PTW before I can join the team. (but I don't expect that will be too difficult).
Although I like the military site of the game too, I'm personally most interested in the strategical economical issues of the game (including MM-ing, optimal worker management, optimal city placement etc) and in the planning of all sorts of actions.
And I like to learn from the team the other aspects of the game.
I already know how the team members are communicating with and supporting each other (by reading several SGOTM threads) and I like the way that's done.
I'm looking forward to join the team in the next GOTM

Welcome, AVN! 
I'm glad you've found this last game interesting and educational; I've been playing Civ3 fairly intensely ever since I found this site, but I find I always learn (or in some cases, relearn) a few things in every game. This last game dealt with a time in the game I rarely have to deal with, so I found it very different and interesting, too! I look forward to see what the SGOTM staff have cooked up for SGOTM9, and to the additional strategic discussion that you will be bringing into the team.
BTW, Team Peanut sounds very unique to me - I say continue with the tradition.
And I hope everybody can sign on for the next round - please post if you can't.

First off, welcome AVN! I'm sure you'll make a great addition to Team Peanut.
Second, I'm sorry that I may not be able to play with you. Depending on when the next game gets started, I may or may not be able to join. School right now is eating up alot (read: all) of my time. After Dec 15, I can play, but before then, I'll just be a deadweight to this finely-tuned machine. Even if I can't play, I'll be lurking and rooting you guys onto victory.
Third, even though i'm not sure I get a vote anymore, I say stay with Team Peanut. Legacy is important and our leader's performance when Peanut could play was anything but spotty.
Looking forward to some fun post-game analysis, once I have a moment.
