I decided on my gameplan. Since I got no marble and Hannibal is teching to Nationalism already AND he has marble... I don't think picking nationalism from lib would be a good idea.
I will try teching gunpowder and pick chemistry from lib. That way I can go to war with CR grenadiers. I'll pop a GM soonish to do a trade mission.
820AD - We're the wealthiest civ.
920AD - Teched gunpowder, I can pick chemistry from lib now. HOWEVER Hannibal needs 3 more turns to education and he can't bulb lib .. I need 7 turns for chemistry. Unless Hannibal can somehow research lib in 4 turns, I can pick steel from lib.
Also my GM pops. I put him in a caravel, heading towards Gilgamesh's capital.
940AD - Trade gunpowder to Frederick for guilds+gold.
1000AD - This looks like a very bad trade at first.
Maybe you can see it in the background. Hannibal needs 2 turns to lib and I need 2 turns to chemistry. So I'm 1 turn short. So I gave him the above trade. Have fun with your gunpowder while I get free steel. Dumbass!
1030AD - Liberalism, finally.

Look at that baby 4.5k breakers, beats picking nationalism by far. I'm glad I did this move, next tech will be military science.
Also as you can see I did my trade mission. I have a decent amount of gold now for future upgrading of pikes->grens. (In retrospect I didn't know I could upgrade maces to grens as well. I feel kind stupid but pikes works just fine.

)
Civic switch to slavery+theocracy. I'll be whipping CR pikes and cannons.
Tech overview looks pretty alright. I have edu/lib/chemistry/steel on all AI's except Hannibal.
1060AD - I get an awesome event. 124gold & permanent -2 happiness in exchange for an academy which I gladly take, I have plenty of happiness resources.
Also I bribe Frederick into war with Hannibal. It was pricey .. edu+chemistry+705 gold (damn). Next turn this trade will backfire on me since Frederick traded edu to all his palls.
1100AD - Well this is what I was hoping for. Willem dows Hannibal. Let them waste hammers on each other while I built my stack of totalpwnage.
1150AD - I'm missing a lot of techs, time for some trading. Trade lib+steel to Gilgamesh for Nationalism+economics+music+gold. Trade steel+lib to Willem for Printing press.
You might wonder why in gods name I'm trading these things away .. since Justinian and Frederick somehow managed to tech steel. I want to trade it before more Buddhists get it.
1160AD - Trade economics to Justinian for drama+worldmap+gold. I need gold badly since I'm upgrading my CR pikes. I don't care much about drama at this point.
1190AD - My sod + I dow Hannibal. 26 grens and 8 cannons VS his longbows and knights, I know where this is heading.
1200AD - I get an event that spread judaism. I pay 42 gold and spread judaism to 4 of my own and 4 foreign cities. I don't have the shrine yet but I'm aiming at getting a GP trough pacifism once this war is over. I count 24 cities .. that's going to be sweet for my future WS city.
Capture Thapsus, I raze it. It has a lot of overlap and in general it's just a lame city. The next target is Hippo down south, it has the SoZ. It didn't show up in top 5 cities so I had to search for it before dow'ing.
1220AD - Capture Hippo and keep it. I also switch to FR, since I'm done with producing units. I think this attack should be good enough to claim the continent.
1240AD - Stopped playing here. Trade military science+drama to Gilgamesh for Scientific method. Trade military science to Willem for Constitution.
Reached Carthage capital, it will go down easy next turn. Revolt+cannon+CR gren vs longbows? 99.99%
Capital, well I whipped more then I originally wanted here so it's kinda .. weak. Though 81gold, thanks for that shrine Louis. As you can see the SH has been contributing GP points, once this war is close to being done I will switch to pacifism and run some prophets here for a few turns. I can't wait to get the Judaism shrine in Orleans.
Diplo, looks good to me.
Gameplan from here: Wiping out Hannibal is obvious. From there I hope to stir some problems in the Buddhist block so I can just sit back, launch my space thing and leave this goddamn planet.
Maybe I should sign a DP with Justinian later..
