1000AD sounds like an immensely tough spaceship or a very doable domination. My vote on domination ... those Arabs need to know the way we lead people onto building pyramids

1000 AD, you say? I think the only possible wins by then are Conquest and Domination. Either one is fine by me.
I'll have the turns up by later tonight, hopefully.

Pre-turn Rush the library in Brudisium for 340 gold.
460 (1) Brundisium library->galley.
Trade Cathy Theology for Chiv and 3 gpt.
Trade Theo Theology and Chiv for Inv, 22 gold, and 10 gpt.
Trade Ragnar Theo for Monarchy and 16 gold.
Cathy is still ahead by Gunpowder. Shes offering it for Edu and around 500 gold.
Hmm, Ragnar is cautious. Demand 25 gold, but he tells me no, and is angry. Theos also cautious towards us. Demand Orenburg and she obviously says no.
470 (2) Pisae uni->settler (Im going to send a settler over on a caravel to the island next to the Byzantines).
IBT Byzantines are building Statue of Zeus I fail to see the point when were almost done with the Middle Ages theyre also building Knights Templar.
480 (3) Move sci back to 50%, Astro due next turn, +56 gpt.
IBT Astro in, start on Nav due in 7 @ 60%, + 26 gpt.
490 (4) Ravenna market->caravel (well need lots of these for the war).
500 (5) Pisae settler->bank. The settler will arrive in Ravenna the same time the caravel is built.
IBT Russians are building Sun Tzus.
510 (6) Move Sci down to 50%, Nav still due in 5, +60 gpt.
520 (7) Hispalis bank->settler (also for the island). Move Sci to 70%, Nav is due a turn earlier (3), -5 gpt.
Ragnar is cautious to us again demand 10 gold. He says no Theo is also cautious to us are we that popular? Demand 13 gold. She also says no.
530 (8) Veii market->aque. Neapolis uni->bank. Caesaraugusta market->worker (this can be changed to library or something). Sci moved back to 60%, Nav still due in 2, +29 gpt.
540 (9) Ravenna caravel->barracks (can also be changed). Load the settler and set it off on its journey to the island. Navigation due next turn.
IBT Nav->Music Theory. This can still be changed to Printing Press.
550 (10) Cumae uni->bank. Hispalis settler->worker. Virconium market->granary (seems like it could be a good city, but needs more pop).
We can now trade world maps. Russia and Byzantines are offering quite a bit for ours, but I didnt trade yet, since I didnt know if we wanted to use them in the trade for Gunpowder Cathys still asking a lot for that though.
Start building up caravels and knights so we can get this game over before 1000 AD for BNH.
And I just realized the Byzantines captured Stockholm from the Vikings. I suggest that be our first target.

Pre-Turns: We need to go up in the tech tree for cavalries, so I plan on buying gunpowder. Thing is Cathy has Gun and Theo has TGL, so I sell both to theodora for what gold she's got.
Russia also has chemistry, which is good. A bit of (generous) trade gymnastics gets us all the luxuries of the map(the one gems is covered with lava :'( ), gunpowder, chemistry and sets us ready for Metallurgy in 4 turns. If all goes well we will have military tradition before I end my turns.
Soon we will be ready to found our second great military movement: after our glorious legions, it will be the Viper Cavalry Corps of Rome (VCCR) that will claim land like babies claim breasts: like perfect robbery. They'll never know what hit them until we milked everything outta them.
T1: Knights production started, Copernicus is rushed.
IT: 'Dora has knights templars. Wow, pimps with lower sdtats than our glorious legions from 2000 YEARS AGO.
T2: Copernicus is in, researching at 100% speed with no loss. Wait 'til Smith knocks at our door :biggrin:
T3: Not much, Antium now has a 96 research output
T4: Send last settler for the last source of saltpeter
IT: Cathy makes an embassy in our capital, so I sign RoP with her and get 72 gold. In return, I demand various stuff she refuses. How odd.
T5: Sending legions to defend our new colony.
IT: Cathy completes knights' templar. We should pursuade her to fight someone sometime and strike in her back with legionnaries, to show her how pathetic crusaders are. Generals Marcus, Baffus and Cassius are on the matter, they shall report from Lugdunum and claim the luxurious gems off Yakutsk.
T6: MT is in, cavalries are being produced. The VCCR shall inherit the earth.
T10: Knights production has started, as well as has Newton's university. We should definitely press onto the russians so they don't get ToG soon and we don't miss Newton - it isn't impossible that they cascade to that or to Smith's in the next 20 turns.
Our generals are ready to disembarq off the coasts of the Yakutsk area to provide our glorious Romans with the reaps the Russian Sowed.
Sorry for the colors, I still haven't figured what causes that.

Preturn- Good, but I hope we can buy something from someone with GPT, since they seem to accept it, by the end of the game and declare war. Perhaps we could also ROP Rape someone or do a phoney peace treaty?
IBT- Brundisium Caravel-Caravel Nicomedia Worker-Worker.
1
Not quite sure how the invasion of Russia was supposed to go, I declared war and landed there, though.
IBT- Metallurgy-->Military Tradition. Science to 70%, cavs in 5, +1 GPT. Oporto Barracks-Knight Pompeii Marketplace-University.
2
Troops approach Yakutsk. Not sure if there's really enough to attack...
3
Kill 1 musket at Yakutsk. 2 legions die.
IBT- A third legion dies . Ravenna Caravel-Caravel.
5
Rush a couple of knights for another invasion of Yakutsk.
IBT- Rome Smith's-University (then it will be knights) Cumae University-Knight Neapolis Bank-Knight Lugdunum Knight-Knight Caesaraugusta Knight-Knight Artaxta Worker-Worker.
6
Load the ship and it's off to Yakutsk. Then I realized...
IBT- Military Tradition-->Magnetism. Time to upgrade those knights.
7
Upgrade cavs and send the ship back.
8
IBT- Catherine wants peace. What do you think? Ravenna Caravel-Caravel.
9
Land at Yakutsk.
IBT- Cavs are injured, but no casualties. Still no condition to attack Yakutsk. Russia lands a longbow at Seleucia. Lose ivory, but Theodora is charging too much for it IMHO.
10
Cavs board the boat and go back to Lugdunum to heal. Kill the longbow at Seleucia. Lux to 20% to reduce unhappiness I hope there are no more riots.

What if we make peace with Cathy then re-declare and capture Yakutsk in one turn? That would fulfill our phony peace-treaty AND RoP rape.

Bigfoot is on autoskip indeed, haven't heard from him, and knowing him he will PM that he's back before posting, so we keep track of him. He's full of care like that. I'll go make him some cookies.
