The turns at Rage took longer than I thought, and I'm stuck with RL issues for today and probably much of tomorrow. I should swap with Tim so things don't get held up any longer than they have been.

If the DVD that my wife rented isn't a freakin' 3 hour epic, I could take this out for a spin tonight. I'll let you all know if I need to pass in a couple of hours.

The Departed -- great movie, but 2 1/2 hours long. I'm going to bed. Won't be able to hit these turns till Saturday, so someone else is welcome to take the helm if he can get to it first.

Yay, we're going to turn the pink island red. 
I'll see what I can do with it on Saturday.

SimpleMonkey, do you want to take it now or shall I?
Good Tech-trade ThERaT. War with France is not the best, but much better than no war. The french are military equal with us and have the great wall, so we will need a lot of militia. The question is now, if we wanna stop research after theology and head for the GB or continue research towards education?

Preturn- I’m not enthusiastic about sending troops over to France. A dozen units won’t make major headway. Any town captured would flip and any razed would be replaced. About the only reason I see for going there is to steal the Glib, but there is no gain to be achieved at the moment. Well maybe we can get an MGL as a consolation prize. Set sail and hope the Mongols don’t sucker punch us.
IBT- Dutch, China start Leos
Turn 1 (260AD) sailing
IBT- French want to talk. No thanks.
Turn 2 (270AD) Start some markets.
IBT- quiet
Turn 3 (280AD) Sail to French shores. Turn science down for theology in 1.
IBT- The Dutch want 50 gold. I decline and now we have war with them.
Turn 4 (290AD) Land the troops at Besancon
IBT- French swarm out of Paris and take out half our invasion force. Two pikes and MI die with no French losses. Two MI and two cats survive. I really don’t know what I was thinking in trying this. Certainly landing near the capital was a stupid move. :suicide:
Turn 5 (300AD) Do a Dunkirk and get back on the boats. Pillage one tile with dromon fire. Turn science off.
IBT- Quiet
Turn 6 (310AD) Continue to return to mainland. Incense and 3 gpt to Hammi for horses. Theology to Mao for Chivalry, Invention, 66 gold and 8 gpt.
IBT- Dutch city of Utrech finishes Knights Templar.
Turn 7 (320AD) Gunpowder in 13 at -18 gpt.
IBT- Babylon and France sign a peace treaty.
Turn 8 (330AD) Quiet
IBT- Quiet
Turn 9 (340AD) Quiet. China and France have gunpowder.
IBT- Vikes declare on us. Sword dies attacking pike at Dyrachium. Land two warriors at Nicae. Dutch finish Sun Tzu.
Turn 10 (350AD) Reinforce Nicea. And done.
Post turn: 4 turns left in a GA. Managed to lose 4 units, killed 1, added two wars.
This whole scenario was doomed to begin with. Not saying the game is, but this will eventually degenerate into AW with everyone as alliances against us kick in. In the meantime, the other civs can out-science us with Republic, and we can’t declare to get them out of it or even get our continent cleared. And the whole nuke thing seems pointless now. Give me a straight AW game, and we can talk nukes later.
The French and Chinese are the tech leaders. Dutch with Suns and Leos make a formidable enemy. Not sure what to do next. There are a couple Viking cities we can grab on our continent. They have iron by Oslo so zerks aren’t far away. If we venture back overseas we need more than two pikes.
Tim, you're up next.
