Sorry about that, just wanted to get those turns in just in case it doesn't get around to me during the weekend (with my skip).

No problem. 
Well, here's my turnlog:
Preturn: Ok, check everything and hope I'm playing the right save... Yes, I am, we have HBR. Press enter after checking everything.
IBT: Beijing horse > another one.
1075BC: Move spear into Nanking.
IBT: The Americans move a settler- warrior pair near our border S of Shanghai onto a game.
1050BC: Uninteresting...
IBT: Gandhi attacks Abe!
Joan would want to trade WM for WM + HBR!
Does she think I'm a total dummy? 
Beijing riots due to overpopulation. I forgot we can only have 2 MP in Despotism... Canton settler > spear.
1025BC: Lit is due in 1, take sci slider down to 30%, still in 1, at 8gpt. Adjust lux slider to 20% to prevent Beijing from rioting agin. The military advisor says we have a strong military compared to anyone. We could attack Abe now, but we have only 4 horses, so I decide to wait.
IBT: We get Literature, start poly at 60% sci, due in 15 at - 1 gpt. Shanghai horse > horse. Seems like the Amercans settled Atlanta S of Shanghai...
1000BC: Decide to take settler to N.
IBT: Beijing horse > horse.
975BC:
950BC: Nothing still...
925BC: Mainly worker stuff... Decide to settle next town on a hill by a river in the middle of the jungle between America and India.
IBT: Beijing horse > horse.
900BC: We now propably have enough horses o attack, but I'll leave it to the next player in row.
Decide to change settling spot plans, found irpn near the Indian border! And it's even by a river...
IBT: Shanghai horse > spear. We need defence too.
875BC: Nothing really... I decide to stop here, I played one turn too much last time IIRC.
Let's
Abe!
Actually, as we have only four players now that Smellin is away, I think we don't need a specific order, it's easier if we play approximately in order, we don't have to stick to it totally...

Inherited turn (875 BC): Declare war, place 6 horsemen outside Washington. 1 archer got lost on the way sadly.
1 (850 BC): Washington: Vet horse beats reg spear 3-1 (HP lost by spear-HP lost by horse).
Vet horse loses to reg spear 2-4.
Vet horse retreats from reg spear 2-1.
Vet horse beats unfort reg sword 3-0 becomes elite.
Vet horse beats reg spear (2) 2-2 becomes Elite.
Vet horse beats unfort reg archer 3-1.
Vet horse beats reg spear (1) 1-0 and invades.
Change production in Canton to Horseman. No point in overdefending at the moment. Couple of horsemen move into Washington and fortify. Settle Tsingtao close to the iron and Bombay.
IBT: Cancel ROP with France. We don't really need that. Resistance in Washington has ended. Beijing horse -> horse.
2 (825 BC): Move 3 horsemen down to New York. 4 horsemen rests to regain strength. Change research to 1.7.2.
IBT: Gandhi and America sign peace treaty. Shanghai spear -> horse.
3 (800 BC): Spearman to Washington. Move some horsemen.
NY: Vet horse retreats from reg spear 1-3.
Elite horse is killed by reg spear 2-5 (sorry).
Vet horse defeats unfort reg spear 3-3.
IBT: Nanking temple -> worker.
4 (775 BC): NY: Vet horse beats vet spear 4-0.
Vet horse loses to reg spear 2-4.
Vet archer beats reg spear (1) 1-2 and invades New York.
IBT: Beijing horse -> horse.
5 (750 BC): Vet horse from Beijing defeats reg fort warrior outside Atlanta 3-1. Sliders changed to 3.5.2.
IBT: American spearmen destroy road to horse outside Washington.
6 (730 BC): Vet horse (3) retreats from reg archer 0-2 outside Washington.
Vet horse is killed by reg spearmen 2-4 outside Atlanta.
IBT: Archer attacks spearmen and is killed 3-0.
7 (710 BC): Shanghai horse -> spear. Nanking worker -> horse.
Vet horse is killed by reg spear 1-4 at Atlanta.
Elite horse kills reg spear 2-3 at Atlanta. City destroyed.
IBT: Beijing horse -> horse. Polytheism -> MM.
8 (690 BC): Try to kill vet spearmen outside Washington with horse. Retreats after a 1-3 loss. Next horse wins 3-0. Find Philadelphia SE of New York and line up some horses.
9 (670 BC): Line up more horses outside Philly.
IBT: Shanghai spear -> horse.
10 (650 BC): Philadelphia: Vet horse loses to reg spear 2-4. Reg spear up to vet.
Vet horse loses to reg spear 1-4. Reg spear up to vet.
Vet horse retreats from vet spear (3) 1-3.
Summary: War is going OK. Tsingtao will get defense in 1 turn, I suppose we were lucky that wasn't conquered. Philly will get conquered soon, we've got some more units resting and reinforcements coming in, so America is just a piece of cake. Maybe stupid to research Map Making, come to think of it, cos we'd get that from extortion anyway...ah well. Finish him off!

The doddering Bede is confused once more.
Who's up?
I've got it but can't play until tomorrow, Friday, after 7:00 PM EST.
Domimix, if you want another turn tomorrow, I'll pick it up tomorrow PM after you're done and play and post late Friday, if that fits your schedule.
Let me know.
Do I hate or love four day weekends? Working retail in the "holiday season" is a pain.

Ok I'll take a turn before Bede, but for future reference, if we end up playing so quickly you guys are going to have to skip me a lot during the weekdays. Not that I mind, but if it's my turn during the weekday, unless I say something go ahead and skip me!

650BC (0): Well, we really don't need MM since we're researching it, but might as well since we're only 3 turns off. Sliders changed to 4.5.1, MM still in 3. Move elite archer out of New York (no one's going to take it) and onto iron hill next to Philli. I suggest that we just take out the Americans, as CDL isn't so valuable that we have to extort it. Change Shanghai to temple, Nanking to settler, Washington to barracks and Canton to temple (that will be changed to harbor with MM).
IBT: Americans beg for peace, no thanks...
630BC (1): Washington barracks > spear. Beijing horse > worker (we definitely need more workers). Tsingtao warrior > worker. Elite archer kills vet spear 4:4. Horse deals 1 damage to vet spear and retreats, Second vet horse kills of vet spear and takes Phili. Damaged horses stay in Phili to halt resistance. Rest of troops head up towards Boston. We have iron now!
610BC (2): Beijing worker > sword.
590BC (3): Get MM, go for monarchy in 13. This is probably the last tech we'll really need, swords and horses should be enough take out france and india. 3 horses now outside Boston. Canton changed to harbor. New York to temple.
570BC (4): Vet horse kills reg spear 3:2. Elite horse retreats and deals no damage. Vet horse kills reg spear 3:3, and we destroy Boston. But wait, the Americans are not dead! Some American settler is hanging around here. I get the troops to form a perimeter around the spot, we want this place for our next city to get the dyes.
550BC (5): Beijing sword > sword. Sword heading to iron spot near Tsingtao. Everyone now has CDL, and France also has construction. Don't bother with any trades since we don't need any of those techs.
530BC (6): Shanghai temple > sword. Canton harbor > spear. Nanking settler > barracks. 2 vet horses in Philli move out to help with blockade. Since Abe is still alive, make peace for CDL and WM. This gives pretty much the entire map. France still has some space to expand, and I think we ought to focus on them first. Change sliders to 3.7.0. Monarchy in 13 at 2gpt.
510BC (7): nothing
490BC (8): Beijing sword > sword. Washington spear > temple. Spear sent to Philli.
470BC (9): Shanghai sword > sword. See Indian settler coming at Tsingtao, looks like they want the dyes too. Start removing the blockade, the settler will be there in a turn. Lux set to 10% to stop BJ from rioting. Boston pops up on the map, it's stuck right between two French cities, no threat. Both France and India got Poly, and both have Philosophy, while France has construction. Neither of them are essential so no trading.
450BC (10): XinJian founded, set to temple since we need expansion before we get dyes. Phili changed to worker so we can mine some of those bg's.
Ok, Canton will build a spear in 6, and it should be sent to Xinjian for defense. Our military so far consists of 2 archers, 3 swords and 6 horses, and we are strong to both the Indians and France. I suggest we attack France next once we have around 15 offensive units. Strike Rheims and then aim towards Paris. Might as well sign an MA with India, if it's cheap, just to keep them off our back. I do not see India as a threat at all since they still have to connect their only source of horses (no iron). Keep Tsingtao to building workers, we need them badly and Tsingtao makes a good worker factory with that flood plain.

Wow, good job Bede! 
If it's convenient, keep France to its last city and make peace for everything she's got. We can come back to finish her off later if we have to, since we still have India to deal with. In the future try not to trade any resources or luxes to them since we want to end all per turn trade deals before we declare war (not that our rep is important, but it's just honorable to do so).
