In my first move I sent my scout north to the hills, discovering a wheat to the NW and coast to both east and west sides (not just west as in the start pic). I send my settler west to get a coastal start for next turn and I see a cattle in my starting 9 tiles!
Hopefully Killer will be lured in to a false sense of security. ;) [}:)]
Both sides coast is not very good I think...
Check it out now:

77 - Damn English research Map Making 9 turns ahead of me, and since I am on 40 - tuen research I have to finish. I will now have to research Horseback Riding ASASP afterwards so I can upgrade my chariot army (almost 20 strong).
My island is crowded, I have too big an army, I will have to slot in another city!
86 - Finally finish Map Making, switch to Horseback Riding (7 turns @100%). Switch 2 cities to galley.

Do more WM trading and make another 40 gold or so.

I forget the minimap, I will post it next turn.
90 - Declare war on the English. Take Hastings, get 2 settlers near my border.
AI - I can't see the AI, but I lost a horseman on swamp and a warrior fortified on a mountain. There is an archer with 1hp on each.

97 - Sell Spices and 40 gold to the Romans for Contact with the Arabs and Ivory. Give WM to Arabia for WM and 3 gold. Weird thing is I don't have harbours, so this must be going through England! [eek]

176 - Now Killer has Education I can do my evil trading act...
Buy Astonomy form the Romans for Spices, Silks, 149 gpt and 145 gold. I had to turn tax to 100% and set all the entertainers to tiles, and move to the high commercial tiles to get the gpt up to do it.

183 - The Romans land a Kinght and a Med. Inf, and I trigger my GA. :)

184 - Another 3 Med. Inf. land, I lose a Beserker taking them, that's 2 lost already. :(
Rome makes peace, and for 350 gpt in the deal he gives:
Navigation, Gunpowder, Banking, Chivalry. :D [dance]
I investigate Cumae where Mallegan's voyage is being buit, it has 7 turns left. Next I declare war on Rome.
Wow, Killer not only hasn't got Astronomy yet, he hasn't got Gunpowder or Banking either! [eek]
Maybe he is going for Democracy??
I am gonna hold off rushing Mallegan's for a few more turns, I don't want to let Killer know I am about to attack yet as I need to upgrade to Knights and Beserkers first.
185 - Rush Mallegan's Voyage in Liverpool, on the opposite side to Killer.
I have a cunning plan. I am sending 4 Beserks to take Neapolis, home of Leonardo's workshop. I will take it and upgrade all my units in one turn, then abandon it.
I hope to save about 1800 gold. :D
193 - I take Neapolis with my Beserkers and get Leonardo's! [coool]
Upgrade 28 Archers to Beserks (1400), 12 Pikes to Muskets (360), 11 Horsemen to Knights (440), 11 Spear to Muskets (440).
Now I abandon Neapolis. Mwahaha [mwaha]
194 - I send off most of my Caravels with about 45 Beserks, 25 Knights and a couple of settlers and armies (without troops in).
I have spread my troops out so that I can hit his cities along the whole east coast. I will launch 2 seperate Knight attacks, with supporting muskets and an army each. I have yet to decide if I should have musket armies to keep my Knights alive, or Knight armies to give better attack. [hmm]
195 - Make peace with Rome for 7 gpt as they land troops near an undefended northern city. Send off some straggling units to Killers land.
Somehow Killer *still* hasn't got Gunpowder! This is good news, Pikes is the worst my Bezerkers will have to face.
Fantastic!!! :D I followed the conversation at MSM but Killer didn't suspect a thing it seemed :)
198 - WAR!!!
Attack Uskudar:
Lose 1 Zerk, Kill 2 Pikes, 1 Spear and 1 Sword.
Attack Pi-Ramasses:
Lose 3 Zerk, Kill 1 Knight and 2 Spears and 1 Warrior.
Attack Abydos:
Lose 1 Zerk, Kill 2 Swords.
Attack Antalya:
Lose 1 Zerk, Kill 1 Pike and 1 Warrior.
Attack Giza:
Kill 1 Pike and 1 Horseman.
Attack Syracuse (SE Island):
Kill 1 Spear.
I abandon Giza since I can't sefend it, all the other cities either have Muskets or are kept safe by hills and mountains.
I send my Zerks inland, they are continueing on foot. I can still sweep round to the north with a few Caravels and get to his western cities.

Killer is doomed. I won't say so in the chat, but he really has no chance when he loses his capital...

yes indeed, a bit cheap ;)
no, seriously ,that was an easy job once you had your island secured, but the way you executed it was absolutely great!
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
Well even if they were all Knights instead of Bezerkers I would still have won. [:p]

If you couldn't have built Zerks I would have played a way different game, anarres!
