Quick version: we have oil, but no rubber. We're at war with Russia (and so is everybody else).
Slightly less quick:
Started off creating a settler in Houston to grab the oil squares on that island -- Cincinnati, the oil city, founded in 1806.
Traded for rubber from Russia, but it only lasted 4 years before they declared war on us (after I refused to give them Espionage). During that time, I upgraded a lot of our riflemen to infantry.
After Russia declared war, a quick round of diplomacy (aka bribery) and we have military alliances with everyone against Russia. War so far has been quiet -- we've just taken and razed Bubastis on the Houston island.
Finished building Intelligance Agency (New York) and Battlefield Medicine (Washington).
I only played 16 turns -- it's now 1824.
Enjoy

Likely, yes
I'm okay up to Friday, then will have limited playing time until the new year. I should still be able to check the forum, so if my turn comes round and I can't play, I'll let you know.

I am downloading right now, and starting to play.
Zulu fodder and Scoobs are both dropped.
Effective now: 48 hour turn max. I have been watching the pace in some of the other games, and this one has gotten lost.

Well it is obvious what to do, beat up Russia Nothing much to do on the trading front, to many broke civs out there.
1826 AD - I have an objective, Hamburg / Frankfurt and RUBBER! The only question, am I to late? Russian and Egypt sign a peace treaty.
1830 AD - Russian Ironclad sinks our frigate. Ouch, the transport rushes back to port in a panic.
1842 AD - Blasted Egyptians, they catch us trying to shortcut to the Russian cities. We get auto moved to the wrong side
1846 AD - Our iron trade goes from 33/turn to 8/turn.
1858 AD - We capture Hannover from the Russians. Not much of a city, but you don't know where resources will show up.
1860 AD - Frankfurt is stubborn, and kills a couple of calvary
1862 AD - The cossack army in Frankfurt is dead. Still a Russian city.
1864 AD - Frankfurt is still Russian. Unless I can bomb that Infantry down to one point, not worth risking the last two Calvary. I have Frankfurt surrounded to that no body else will surprise us.
Summarry - The next transport and escort are under construction near Atlanta, and they are also heading to the block of Russian cities.
Up next - Hobbes
I would really like this to be a 48 hour turn around game.
edit - Deleted old game save.

Hobbes
Utilitarian Despot
Will download tonight and post tommorow.
Hobbes
Utilitarian Despot
I will post the rest of story tommorow, but we are still at war with the Russians, not much of a contest. Our biggest problem is dealing with all the polution casued by our factories cranking out tanks and bombers . 
We will have fission in 6 turns, I have a palace going in Salamaca, it will be finished in 7 turns, so we should have the UN as soon as we get fission. Treasury, trade, relations with everyone except the Russians looks good.
1866 Russian Cossacks attack and kill riflemen outside of Frankfurt. Russian ironclads destroy improvements near Denver. American artillery and naval bombardment soften up the defenses at Frankfurt, American cavalry rushes in a captures Frankfurt. We now have rubber, and for some reason, which I do not understand (because we have no harbor at Frankfurt) we have rubber in all of our strategic resource boxes in our city display. What does this mean? Build tanks quick, we do.
1868 Start barracks at Frankfurt, rush next turn. Rubber disappears from strategic resource box of all other cities except Frankfurt; we are still building eight tanks.
1870 Move troops to Frankfurt. Tanks begin rolling out of our factories.
1872 Start moving military to outer American settlements, just in case. Start harbor in Frankfurt, disband ironclad in Frankfurt, rush harbor. Russian counterattack is spent, build fortress two squares from Hamburg, and prepare for bombardment. Move battleships to Hamburg.
1878 Bombardment of Hamburg works, Hamburg captured and razed.
1880 - Dallas founded, in tile next to remains of Hamburg, this way we control a rubber and a wine tile (you can never have enough luxuries). Also the Romans had settled the area west of Frankfurt before we could get to it.
1882 Russians capture new Roman city on the outskirts of Frankfurt, American troops land next to Berlin.
1884 Berlin captured, we control the Pyramids.
1888 Russian's call up and want peace, let the answering machine pick up. Romans want MPP, decline, do not want to get into any other wars right now.
1890 Russians ironclads continue to shell area around Denver.
1894 Start palace in Salamaca, in preparation for fission.
1896 Capture Byzantium from Russians. Discover flight, start researching fission. Start building airports, at least on each island, a few on our production islands.
1898 First airports completed, start building bombers.
1900 Japs want to cancel trade deal, we need the incense, so I cave in and give them gold along with the other furs and ivory, want to keep them and our own citizens happy.
1904- Build tanks, battleships and bombers.

You get to end this one.
Military / domination is out.
Cultural is out.
Space Race - Do we have enough high production cities?
Give every thing away to every civ, and VOTE immediately. This is out best shot.
Keep fighting the war with Russia no matter what, even if just on paper. Peace with Russia could hurt of relations with most countries.
Hobbes Perfect setup for this weak position. I am happy that you finally broke the bottleneck at Frankfurt. That city was work.
