Ok. Got it. Play in a few hours. Keep teching towards CS. Save GE for machinery. Use GG as MI, probably in Um as it looks to be the best unit pump once it regrows. We'll probably get a couple more generals before we finish.
Gem city essentially just gives us gems, maybe check out horse/ivory site. I'd ignore gem city for now, collect scatttered units into a southern army, continue the war against germany.

Full report to follow (Its 1am here and I'm working in the morning).
Germany is gone. Finally got round to establishing the horse/ elephant/ banana city in the jungle. Still trying to amalgamate units into a stack. Finished CS on last turn. set research to MC (10 turns).

Make it so ...
I would revolt immediately, the boost in research might negate the cost of anarchy such that MC is still 10 turns away.
Maybe it is time for us to build couple of vessels to stop those pillaging and landings.

yes I knowWe're playing Warlords
but am at a bit of a loss to figure out why I'm having trouble with the save. I'm useless when it comes to tech issues unfortunately

I finally got around to playing. The pics should speak for themselves:
I also researched Metal Casting, lightbulbed Machinery and started on Engineering although research has been at 0 since the turn Machinery came in to do some upgrades.
I think it's pretty straightforward from here. We should have the AI wiped out before Gunpowder. The only matter up for debate is: should we keep science at 0 to get more upgrades done (already did a lot with plunder) or keep researching Engineering at maximum possible speed?

Kill!
Care to share the story of your soon-to-be scar, Strauss? My condolences anyway.

Got it ... we seems to be nearing the clean up phrase, even though we have yet to see where Japan is 
.... so, engineering might be necessary to speed things up a little with +1 road movement. I am inclined to continuing research and stop only after engineering is in.

Good point re road movement.
It'll be interesting if Tok gets to sams before we get to Tok.

First off, I wonder why we have yet to revolt.
I consider going for OR as well, but decided the benefits is not that significant (plus that means I need to revolt to Jewish as well == 3 turns of anarchy). If we have theocracy, it might be worth revolting to a religion.
Thus, I only did this:
Next, Berlin. Why are we allowing the chariot to run free? We have Impi, kill him.
Speaking of Impi, why do we want to fortify our super-fast-medic in Berlin? Send him to the front or let him go pillage! Well, I did that ... there was some cottages SW of berlin ... these plunders kept our deficit research going.
Finally, someone queued wonders (ToA and Parthenon) behind some cities. I didn't realize it until some hammers were wasted there ... pointless to get anymore wonders (esp ToA -- what for?). Keep pumping troops and game over already. I removed those wonders from the queue.
War Matters
On the chinese front, Mr Mao is now reduced to a single city of Xian after razing two northern cities:
It should be easy ... Although it surprises me to see Mao has an elephant (which was killed by general, see log).
On the English front, she landed a pair of horses near Timbuktu an dpromptly pillaged the copper mine.
Both were killed, but I haven't gotten around to re-mining effort.
Seeing the Chinese campaign is nearing the end, I 'd also started to move pockets of units down south towards England. On their way, they met this:
The next turn (last turn), the stack was gone. I had no idea where they went. Two possibilities: (1) they turned back south, scared by our approaching units -- unlikely; (2) they went NE to pester our newly acquired cities (speaking of which, why did we keep those?) -- so be cautious there. It is unlikely they could slipped pass our troops and threaten Berlin.

I thought there was more (Chinese/Japanese) land to the north, so I kept the cities as forward outposts.
I thought the Wonders were kind of weird too, but somehow managed not to remove them from the queue.
Roster:
1) Strauss
2) GreyFox --> just played
3) stuge --> UP
4) pigswill --> on deck
5) ungy
