Whomp you will get the third AC during your turns. That will be enough to fill an army if you can get a leader. No pressure 
.
I could not find a pattern in when and where they were attacking. In general more units appear to be going to Sumer, followed by Umma and lastly Lagash.
Now that there is a road on the hill near Lagash you might be able to open/close a door there to draw some of them off. Ideally a large group of them chasing one opening then the other (at Sumer) would be best, but not sure we can achieve that. Wish I had thought of it last night as I could have tried it.
Keep in mind their second iron might not even be on our landmass.
Wish I had more to go on. We are confident you can do it - you are the

What could I add? Umma have flip risk of 1.0-1.6%, so it have high chances to flip in the next ~50 turns. We must bring few archers to recapture it in the case of flip. Irrigate pillaged cow - put EW and archer to that tile to cover worker
About MM: fire clown in Umma, it doesn't needed and disallow growth; Ur need one more shield for 3-turn archers, also it can share tiles with Kish to minimize waste.

lurker's comment: Keep praising to the RNG lord, i did, and it worked.
It got me a MGL.
It got me a MGL.OK this is rough. I went 21-3 and all 3 were in Umma. 
Pre-turn: Shift a couple tiles and turn a specialist into a scientist to get writing down to 7. Decide to whack a JT in a stack with an archer and hes flawless. (1-0)
IT Lots of movement and a galley appears near Lagash.
730 Bomb a spear and JT on our cow then whack them both with promotions to an archer and AC. (3-0)
IT Take 2 JTs at Umma. (5-0) Now theres 2 galleys probing our shores. Mayans start the Glib in Chitzen Itza.
710 Change 2 builds to cats. Fortify on the other cow.
IT one JT is dropped onto a grass square behind our lines.
690 Bomb the JT incursion. Whack him with a vet archer. (6-0)
Elite AC redlines taking out a 2/4 JT (7-0)
Another AC elite is flawless taking out a 2/3 JT (8-0)
Block our backdoor with units from the galleys.
IT not much
670 Elite AC takes out a 2/4 JT (9-0)
IT Oh no .3 swords head towards Lagash. JT attacks an elite EW at Umma and loses (10-0)
650 Moving to each side of the peninsula to block the boats. They keep going back and forth.
IT Take out 3 JTs at Umma but lose 1 elite (12-1)
630 Prepare for the sword attack by moving units around the horn.
IT Ah sheez ..theyre going towards Umma now. Writing in. Start on lit.
610 Move back the other way.
IT Massive attack on Umma. I count 4 JT wins including a promotion but a sword takes out our elite and then of all things a spear attacks our redlined elite and loses but then a 2nd takes out our EW and Umma is taken. (17-3)
590 Theres not much to do but wait. Most of their units are moving along the hills.
IT Swords head back to Lagash.
570 Make an opening for the galleys for some leader fishing and move back around the horn.
IT they didnt land but swords head towards Lagash.
550
Cats go 3 for 6 hitting the swords.
Elite AC goes 2/6 talking sword (18-3)
Elite AC flawless taking sword (19-3)
Vet AC redlines taking sword (20-3)
Vet AC goes 3/5 taking a spear (21-3)
Summary
If we don't get a army soon it's going to be tough to hold against swords. Our economy is having a rough go was well with specialists, 30% lux and 30% science at a deficit. Let's get the dang leader!!

Oh they have WW already, it is probably just slowing their research.
Too bad about Umma. It was isolated and hard to reinforce. I contemplated whipping it down to 1 so it would autoraze if they took it. Sorry I should have mentioned that in my last write up.

Bad news... Without roads it was hard to defend Umma well, it could be expected. Whiping city to size 1 was a good idea, but too late. 
I will look at save later, maybe we could survive until we will get an Army.

Lurker's CommentYou can only get an army by units attacking and not defending right? Or am I wrong?

On defence chanses are lowered by 50%.
