Tale of the Years 1806 to 1824
1806 – Adjusted Workers and city production per City-Planner (with some changes for SMC), moved units to implement SMC plans, adjusted Taxrate to 50-50-0 per poll. Fanatic kills German Dragoon at Cannae. Capture Swazi without injury (Dragoon kills a Pike, Knight occupies, 14G. Zulu gov overthrown. Attack Turin with Dragoon, kills single Musk. Find Zimbabwe. Kill Zulu Cannon at Bipedi. Find Hlobane.
1808 – Barbs near Cretaceous. Barb Knight kills an exploring Knight. Zulus become Monarchy and are immediately overthrown (guess their people didn’t like that idea).
German Salsburg builds Adam’s. Bribe Ulandi for 1037G, get 34G, sell Granary 60G, and start Temple. Zulus become Monarchy again. Destroy Turin, get 2G, but Dragoon gets healed. Kill Barb Elephant near Apolonia, get Vet. Kill Greek Cannon at Argos. Bribe Barb Knight at Outpost 82G. 
1810 – Lose a Dip to a German Dragoon near Ulandi.
Greeks get Conscription from Zulus, Americans get Conscription from Germans. Lose a Cannon to a German Dragoon. 2nd Cannon kills that Dragoon. 
Many units moving according to SMC plans… I won’t mention that each turn, but there is a lot of moving going on.
1812 – Bribe Ngome 705G, get 23G. Kill 2 Barbs at Baltimore, there are Barbs all over the place. Preparing to bribe Stuttgart when found, I rush a Dip in Cannae.
1814 – Americans get Explosives from Germans, Greeks get University from Zulus. Barb Musk dies attacking Philadelphia. Find Kansas City east of Bombay.
1816 – Russians discover Medicine. German Dragoon kills Fanatic seeking Stuttgart. Find Issus north of Cannae. Rush Dragoon in Cannae to accompany Dip, I’ve had it with 1-move escorts.
1818 – Greek gov overthrown. Barb Elephant attacks Havok, dies, Rifle gets Vet. Germans and Zulu sign pact against us. Zulus get Steam from Germans. Trade Caravan arrived in St Louis from Nuremberg. Greeks get Steam from Germans. Bribe Greek Dragoon 197G at Cannae to kill a German Dragoon. Destroy Kansas City get 3G but Fanatic healed and fortified at spot (German Dragoon appeared). Bribe Greek Cannon and use it to kill troublesome German Dragoon near Ulandi. Lose a Fanatic at Ulandi to American Cannon but kill Cannon. Kill 2 German Cannons threatening Madras.
1820 – Greeks become Republic. Bribe Mpondo 460G, get 28G. Cannon near Ulandi kills German Cannon (everyone is helping the Zulus). Rifle kill Zulu Legion near Zimbabwe, gets Vet. Cannon kills Zulu Dragoon at Bipedi, gets Vet. We kill a Zulu Phalanx near Zimbabwe. Find Islandhlwana. Move Dip to escape German Cannon (would have cost 1125G to bribe,
and had to bribe Zulu Musk for 297G to survive. Move units into place to attack Atlanta after using Dip to investigate city (no Cannon, but has Rifle and 3 Musks). Bribe wandering Barb Knight 82G (dip now has a 2-move escort). Kill American Dragoon with Fanatic healed at Kansas City. Find Rhodes and bribe it 450G, get 25G, sell Gran for 60G. Greek gov overthrown.
1822 – Lose a Cannon near Ulandi. Greeks become Monarchy. Rus get Steam from Greeks, Greeks get Medicine from Rus. We discover Tactics!
Musk become Rifle, Phalanx, Pike, and Legions become Musk, Knights become Dragoon, Elephants become Crusaders, Settlers become Engineers. 
We are offerred to research Amphibious Warfare or Industrialization. I chose Industrialization. Attack Atlanta. We have 9 Rifle, 4 Cannon, 3 Cavalry, a Fanatic, and a Dip. We capture the city at a cost of 4 Cannon and 3 Cavalry, get 42G and sell Granary 60G. 
Find Stuttgart! Bribe it for 3437G, 
get 315G, Magnetism, and Mike’s! All Dragoons become Cavalry, Crusader becomes Dragoon, Musks become Rifle. Sell Granary for 60G. Getting Mike’s gains us an additional 300 gold per turn. Move taxrate to 80-10-10. This nets us almost 1200G per turn. 
1824 – For opening AI and city-production moves only. Zulu are overthrown.
