OK, I understand now, sorry.

Unexpected palace Jump
As I had mentioend before, I had planned a Palace jump at some point, so intentionally named my first capital 'Etrusca' and never developed it. Finally, in 1505AD I had captured Kyoto and decided I should jump the capital to there, figuring it would maybe even flip some Japanese cities to me. The FP was in Rome, so I fugured I had little to lose.
So I settlered Etrusca to size 1, and added a settler or two to Kyoto to rush it to size 14 (and still growing). That left the situation as follows:
However, when I then 'abandoned' Etrusca I found the capital moved to
Rome - only population 11, not even my 'most Roman' city. I had thought that the Palace jumped to the most populuous city, so I was rather disappointed - especially sine that put the Palace and FP in the same city!
I'd kept a save from before the jump, just for curiousity - I wanted to compare 'before' and 'after' since when I jumped in the previous GOTM I was pretty sure my production dropped (that was a Palace build, not an abandonment) but I didn't have the save to test it. Of course, I was stuck with Rome as my new capital....
I did not, in the end, move the Palace to Kyoto until 1735AD, when Hadrian appeared in the German border wars.....
In 1675Ad a force of about 7 panzers wandered into our territory, and declared war when ordered out. I massacred them with combined artillery and elite tanks. They had an MPP so I didn't want to attack them outside Roman territory, and anyway that would have meant walking through the US. So I hunkered down at the choke point with the US and waited.
For the next
century the Germans (and the Americans too, from about 1756) sent stacks of 6-8 troops - usally veterans, usually panzers or marines from Germany, a mix of anything from spearmen to Mech Inf from the US. They marched past our fortified troops holding the rubber and the high ground, and defending our firebases hoilding some 20-40 artillery (red circles on map).
(In that picture we have a mech inf army in a clear square - it's guarding the force of workers who just cleared the jungle, to give us a better field of fire.)
In all I noted a total of 35 victories before Hadrian (we had an elite win during the war to eliminate Japan. so we had Heroic Epic throughout this period. I reckon maybe 20-30 elite wins during the Japan wars)
It took a further 40 or so before Maximus appeared; then Germanicus and Claudius each only took a further 5 wins.
All in all I had 5 leaders from about 100 elite wins, most, but not all, with the herioc epic. Perhaps the expected would be 7 or 8, but I'll not complain. I'd rather have them quickly at the start, though!
Finally, I had real problems controlling any cities near the southern mapedge - the city screen would not display properly:
Note that the city view is not of the city - it's as if the screen cannot scroll down to see the city. I guess firaxis never expected board edge to be in play. How does a vertically wrapped map cope, I wonder?
