Is this game still alive?
I would kindly ask the ones interested in continuing to show up until Saturday, since I would like to have a look for another one, if this one is not going to be continued.
Thanks.
[edit] I will pick it up on Saturday and play another set of turns then, to give it a chance of survival.

Ok, good to know you're there!
Guess, it is up to Akots then, since Gormdragan is off for still one week, as it seems.

Just got a new laptop and still struggling to make all the patches run. 1.22 is OK but there are some problems with 1.15. I'll try to fix it but niot sure if I can continue this game. Well, can use old desktop then.
IIRC, andvruss can play again or GK is UP. Then, me.

Diplomacy:
At war with: Babylon, Inca, Vikings, Greece, Iroqouis, Byzantines, Russia, Spain, Maya
At peace with: America, Japan, Germany, Hittites, Portugal
Except for Germany, all nations we are at peace with are weak. All nations, we are at war with are in the upper half of the power estimation or at least better than we.
We have an alliance with Germany against Byzantines, blocking us for 18 turns from making peace with them.
We can negotiate peace with: Babylon (peace = 150 g), Vikings (peace = 200 g), Greece (peace = 250 g), Russia (peace = 250 g), Spain (peace = 50 g), Maya (peace = 200)
We cannot negotiate peace with: Inca, Iroqouis, Byzantines (due to alliance),
Prices for gunpowder run from 943 (all we have)/40gpt to 943/56gpt.
We shouldn't trade anything except for gunpowder.
Strategic situation:
Our southern region is weak. All cities are defended by just one unit. Our so-called core is exposed to naval landings. Except for one NumMerc army, all armies are in the northwestern region.
A Viking pike goes for our slaves in the southern region. We lack quick units to counter-attack in the southern region.
Our nothern iron mine is still under Byzantine attack.
I have to disagree with Andvruss' battle plan. Currentyl, we don't have the potential to perform mid- or long-range operations. Even less, when taking into consideration that the Byzantines might confront us with rifles in their territory. I don't like the idea to redline our armies at the outskirts of Byzantine cities and to expose them to cavalry counter-attacks, when they have to retreat.
We should concentrate on small-scale operations, which allow us to bring our troops back to reployment areas quickly.

Got it, although I'm up in another game still & have to shadow turns in GK2 so it'll be a day or so.

And just so you know the turn report he has to shadow is mine and it had to be split into two pages because it was so long. Hopefully it will take him as long as it took me to write. 
BTW great job on this game I've been lurking for a long while and I did not figure you'd still be aroubd at this point.
