2nd try, the first one (with smilies) vanished... 
Tale of the Years – 1824 to 1834
1824 – Built Palace in Stuttgart 192G. Adjusted cities per City-Planner chart. Changed taxrate to 60-0-40 per Foreign Minister (Special Celebration Project). Also adjusted Workers to induce Celebration in reluctant cities. Kill German Cannon at Mpondo. Kill Zulu Rifle at Zimbabwe. Moved many units to shield-starve Zimbabwe per SMC plan. 2 shield-squares cannot be occupied. Find Greek Genoa 3 squares east of Stittgart. Kill a Greek Settler with Cavalry.
1826 – Zulu becomes Republic. Greeks get Explosives from Germans. Stuttgart is new capital of Apolyton Imperium and becomes unbribable. Find Greek Crete ENE of Shield. Get another Zimbabwe shield square occupied and fortify all adjacent units. Capture Barb Leader for 150G. Establish city of Obiwan on American river system. Kill 2 Greek Dragoons at Apolonia with 2 Cavalry, both get Vet. Kill Zulu Dragoon leaving Bapedi with a Cavalry. Moving escorted Dips toward outlying Zulu cities. Laid a few ambushes for wandering Barb Crusaders.
1828 – American Musk dies attacking our Mountain Cavalry. Greeks get Magnetism from Germans. Barbs land near Ore. Zulu get Medicine from Russians. Russians sneak attack Outpost and kill our new Alpine unit. Zulus get Explosives from Greeks.Greeks get Trade from Zulus. Americans get Magnetism from Germans. Germans mount major attack on Mpondo. Cannon kills Russian Dragoon at Outpost. Alpine explorer finds Greek city Artemesium east of Argos. Bribe Barb Crusader 88G to save Dip. Cavalry kills Rifle from Bapedi. Bribe Greek Crete for 192G, get 6G back, start Fanatic, and fortify Cavalry. Barbs near Ore look like stacked Dragoons. Ore has 2 Rifle and 1 Vet Cannon, so I move a Dip and Cavalry into the city. I think I have all the Zimbabwe shield-squares occupied now.
1830 – Greeks get Democracy from Zulu. Zulu get Magnetisn from Greeks. Barb Dragoon kills an Engineer. Germans discover Tactics (see how long we would have had to wait to steal it?). 2 Germans Dragoons die atacking Mpondo. It’s time time to attack Zimbabwe, they must have lost a few units by now and we have lots of Cannons on RR. It cost’s only 3 Cannon to capture Zimbabwe! We get 51G, Copernicus and Great Wall, and City Walls stay up. Kill a Zulu Settler with Cannon. Kill German Dragoon south of Zimbabwe with a Cavalry. Kill German Cannon at Mpondo with Cavalry; kill 2nd Cannon with same Cavalry. Kill Russian Dragoon near Rhodes with Cavalry and get Vet. Find Greek Cunaxa 9 ESE of Rhodes. Establish Vetkovia on American river system. Establish Atawatacity on American river syatem. Kill Barb Dragoon at Ore with Cannon. Kill 2 Barb units at Ore with Cannon. We are gaining over 1300G per turn now. Rush Dip in Stuttgart to bribe Greek Genoa.
1832 – American Dragoon dies attacking Cavalry near Bombay, Cavalry gets Vet. Greek Rifle dies attacking Cavalry somewhere. Another Barb group nears Ore. Bribe Greek Genoa for 357G, get 11G back, sell Aqueduct for 80G (size 2 city). Move Fanatic and Rifle into Genoa. Find American San Diego 10 squares NE of Bombay. Our Cavalry kills an Engineer there (blocking movement), gets Vet. Find Zulu Intombe and bribe it for 174G, get 32G back. Alpine explorer kills German Engineer. Alpine explorer finds Greek city Troy 8 squares southeast of Rhodes.
1834 – Greek govt overthrown, Barb Dragoon dies attacking Ore, our Rifle gets Vet. 2nd Barb Dragoon at Ore kills Rifle. Cannon kills last Barb at Ore. Bribe Hlobane 456G, get 44G back, sell Granary 60G, start Temple. Bribe Tugela 385G, get 19G back. The Zulu civ is destroyed by the Apolyton Imperium! Kill German Cannon near Bombay.
