We're prebuilding in Tokyo(IIRC), building the Oracle which should be switched to the GL when we get Lit. The only way the Library shouldn't be in Tokyo is if we get a leader from the fight with Shaka, then we can rush the GL from scratch in Kyoto & turn the Oracle into the Pyramids.
When playing a civ that has a chivalry based UU, normally I do as Mad-bax suggested & research up to chivalry as fast as possible(even running a deficit). Then turn my research back to 0 & reap the rewards of the GL while still having my UU before the AI has a defender even remotly close.
In this situation though(with no horses already), I think once we get Lit we should turn off research completly. It costs 80g to upgrade each horse to a samurai, so by the time the AI researches Chivalry we'll hopefully have 10 horses built & at least 800g in the bank.
However, if we do that & the AI somehow cascades & beats us to the GL we'll have some problems. We'll still have enough money saved up to trade to catch up in techs, but all our upgrade money will be shot.
The choice is yours.

Ok I didn't know how many we had to upgrade cuz I haven't looked at it yet, I'll play my 10 when I get home tonight 
Wow, you are playing greatly! 
You may disband Nagoya and build it on a better spto, if you wish...
I traded RoP with Shaka, cause we got contact with the Babs and 14 gp for it, and actually, would you have had even a decent force ready for the war before the end of the RoP? Not at least after my *badly* played turns.
I know I'm not so good. This is my first real attempt on Regent. I hope to learn a lot in this game from you guys.
But that was really good playing. It's nice to have a good player playing after me, so you can fix my mistakes.

That was incredible Gengis! 
I enjoyed that set of turns very much. I don't know much about war, so this was a real education. So, when are we going after the Zulus? Why do we have RoP with them? I don't think I did that.... Seems kind of silly unless you have some sort of formal alliance so that they could help on some defense work. Good show!

So much for my 10 turns of war, more like 2 turns.
Flight-check- Military Report: 1 settler, 3 workers, 11 warriors, 1 archer, & 2 spears. I have to ask WHY?? We need workers & we need them yesterday. This is IMHO the worst(& most common) mistake new players make, its better to have to many workers then to few. We need to get a road to Nara ASAP so we can make swords in our productive cities.
SAVE!
OMG, other than the worker we start with, + the slave I bought + the worker I order in tokyo, there has been no production of workers??? Good job in spotting the mistake. Yes. we needed them yesterday.
I think a better decision will be to hook the iron in Nagoya as we have more cities in the south. Nara is a dead to-be-forgotten city.
Also, in view of the small island we are on, I would wipe out germans and zulu with swords and not wait for sams.

Usually I build troops when I in peace and infrastructure and work/settlers when I at war that I started, because if you don't have enough troops, then you probably shouldn't have started it.
My 2 cents.

I wouldn't sweat the couple cities that are out of place. IMHO they won't hurt us that much & it would be more trouble then its worth. After all look at all that lovely land to the west.
Sorry, I didn't notice that it your write up. Ignore my :smoke coments then, I would have made the same trade. And No I wouldn't have had the troops to do a full scale invasion, but I think I would have had enough to get at least a city. Who knows, it all depends on whether the RNG gods shined or rained on me.
And I definatly wouldn't call them a bad set of turns Wizard. Anybody that leaves me at war with troops surrounding my enemies first city gets a giant
in my book!
I'm also sure sabo will find a mistake I made though.
Thanks for the compliments!
ps- and don't try to skip me again or I'll have to

Actually I wasn't counting the slave, so 1 other worker got produced. We're looking alot better with workers, but we could use 2x what we have now, with all the expansion that will be taking place in the next 20 turns or so.
And I'm one step ahead of you, I write up my report as I go so I spotted that iron source a turn or so later. The Nagoya iron will be online in 5 turns, I have 2 workers roading the tile next to it right now.
[edit] I agree with you about the Sams as well, the zulu & Germans will be wiped out before we have the money for a mass upgrade. Although we can hit them in stages, back & forth to keep extorting money from them. Just don't break the 20 turns of peace.

Just a thought...since GL wouldn't be due in 5, why are we researching at 0gpt? An alternative is to lower the research rate and use the $$$ to upgrade swords. We can probably wreck havoc with 15 swords.

I knew someone would call me on that 
. I actually thought about that on turn 9 but at that point it was too late to turn back.I was gung ho about getting Lit & forgot about the rest I guess. We can bump research back to 20% getting us Lit in 17, 11gpt, with the Oracle due in 21.
Just make sure if the Oracle overlaps Lit(due to growth in Osaka) we bump up research to get Lit before the Oracle is produced. Also if the AI completes the Oracle(which will happen before its built), that THAT turn it gets changed to the palace(otherwise the governer will do something stupid like build a sword).
Next thing we need to discuss if Forbiden Palace placement. Any thoughts or ideas??
[edit] And it wouldn't take even 15 swords, if we upgraded 5 or so, with our archers & a spear or two for defense we'd walk all over the Zulu. After all we have a stong military compared to them now.

On a side note yesterday we won the 1st SG I ever signed up for.[dance] Me, Ted Jackson, & Zwingli blasted off to Alpha Centari after 3 months, and tons of drop out(even the originator dropped it).
I gotta say while you can complete a normal game at least 100x faster, nothing beats snatching victory from the AI in a SG. All the hard work & write ups make it that much better.
OK, I'm done self promoting now.
