Summary - OMGWHTTGreeks?!
Inherited turn:
Hey, who irrigated everything?! Taxmen don't count in the From Cities income - that's a separate listing.
No wonder we can't build any military. Mining the cities and leaving them at size 20 doesn't affect our income - unless somebody was trying to sabotage the ability of his successors to build military?
War status: We're at peace with everyone, the treaty with Egypt having just been struck. The Iroquois would be a logistical headache to go after, and Korea's too powerful. Greece, however, has no active deals with us, and a few large cities that I can probably reach on my turn.
I sign RoP with Korea to get us better access to Greek territory. I don't declare war just yet, since we need a turn to finish healing the cavalry from the Egyptian war and I wouldn't mind a turn to build some more (we've got 9 cavalry right now!) I also go through and draft from every city that's got specialists - as mentioned, that doesn't drop the from-cities income.
==========
After that round of production, I swap maxed-out cities that just finished their projects to workers, so we can get some shield production going again.
1455 AD: Actually... Wish I had realized this last turn, but Korea's got Motorized Transportation. That would make Greece very crushable, of course. The question is whether to steal it, or renegotiate peace to buy it. I could steal carefully this turn for 2300 or safely next turn for 3060 -- but if it fails, we're in big trouble (and by we, I mean my score, of course.
) The research beaker cost is about 4000, meaning the monopoly buy cost would be about 6000.
I decide to do this: put one turn of 100% research into MT to blunt the monopoly purchase cost, then buy it next turn.
1460: We actually researched more than half the beaker cost for MT in one turn. We renegotiate peace with Korea, and pay them Wines + 100/turn (cheap!) for the
tank tech. We also sell Electronics to Egypt for Amphibious Warfare and cash (getting full market value.)
About 15 tanks get rushed, short-rushed, and built. Several cities rush a cavalry and get enough tiles mined to get 20 shields to build a tank.
BT, disease at Washington
(I thought hospitals prevented that?)
1465: We rush another eight or so tanks, and
declare war on Greece.
23 artillery shots fail to dent a single unit in the city of Corinth.
I send in the tanks anyway and we capture it with some losses. I grab every crappy unit I can find - warriors, Numidians, and two dozen conscript infantry - and dump them in the city to suppress the resistance.
1470: Clean up invading Greek units, and bombard Sparta. Rush another battalion of tanks.
Korea has Radio and is in the Modern Age.
1475: We capture the size-2 city of Knossos
but that's to get us access to the size-11 city of Mycenae. More massive rushing of tanks.
This turn, we have to use our military to fend off Greece's SoD, which is about 12 infantry plus five each guerillas and marines. We kill it with minimal losses.
And Sistine Chapel which is quite nice too. The 30-unit resistance suppression stack piles into the city.
There goes like 60 income 
And I had just rushed a temple there, too.
but then we capture the size-20 Greek capital with the Pyramids. 
Korea starts the United Nations 
( or Speaker's, or 6GenTex's)
