This is another major update for the year 30 BC.
After a long trip to a land of bananas, I have returned to update this report. Much continues to change. We have made peace with two enemies, and are at war only with one. Our government has changed, and the scourge of despotism has disappered from the continent. Again, the last report, from 290bc, will be in italics.
GENERAL:
The Greek Army now strides the world. Ourselves, along with Rome and Germany, occupy the second rung.
Our Armies remain paramount, yet as war rages stronger armies are raised elsewere. already Greece and Rome have armies comparable to ours.

What follows are more detailed reports and some editorial content of this humble scribe:
Greece: A republic annoyed at us. They have 17 cities and 0 gold. They employ horsemen, have wine and horses in the capitol, iron and ivory in the hinterlands. They have knowledge we lack (theology). They have the GW in Athens, are building the Hanging Gardens in Athens, Sun's Academy in Sparta.

Germany is at war with the Aztecs. They are a very large and powerful civ. The Germans are making swordmen even if they have yet to connect the iron to Berlin.
A republic at war with us. They have horses in their capitol, and it is rummored they have iron, but it is not certain either. Best possible units are either the swordmen (possible) or horsemen (positive). They are allied with France against us. They have seen explosive population growth.
Our Empire:, just for comparision.
A monarchy with 94 gold (35gpt) and 19 cities. We employ swordmen, have iron, horses, dyes in the capitol, wines in the hinterlands. We have 9 workers,16 slaves, 5 warriors, 18 spearmen, 3 archers, 2 galleys, 2 horsemen, 1 war chariot, 9 swordmen.

In Anarchy and at war with us. Allied with France against us, with best possible unit being the archer.Has spices and Incense at their capitol)
There is a city number iregularity, with my count coming out at 9, though it is archaived as 11. So, its either 9 or 11. No more is known, as knowing more would require acts that would constitute playing ahead. They have the Great Pyramid in Persepolis.
Aztecs:

The Aztecs have grown in pop. and made more roads. They are at war with three civs, Germans, Greeks, Americans. They are a fine middle power, with too much on their plate currently.
A republic annoyed with us. They have 12 cities and 8 gold. They employ horsemen and have wines and horses in the capitol, iron, ivory and spices in the hinterlands. They have knowledege we lack (Republic, Monotheism) and have built the Great Lighthouse in Tenochtitlan. They are at war with Greece.

A despotic regime at war with us, allied with germany and Persia against us. Has 12 cities. Has used swordmen in battle. Has Iron and wines in the capitol, Horses in the hinterlands.
Even though their capitol has fallen, as well as their connected source of horses, a late city bloom has given them 3 new cities, explaining then why even with two lost cities they have more cities now.

A Republic annoyed with us. They have 9 cities and 2 gold. They employ horsemen and have horses in their capitol. They have knowledge we lack (Monotheism, Republic) They have the Great Library in moscow.
The addition os the G.L. has imporved their culture, but actually dropped a spot in the histograph. Very weak overall.
Iroquois:
A republic annoyed with us. They have 10 cities and 19 gold. They employ archers. They have spices in the capitol, wine in the hinterands. They lack knowledge of feudalism. They are building the Gardens in Salamanca, which houses the Colossus.
The Iroqouis have gotten much weaker relative to their neighbors. They still lack roads, and their population is tiny. They have also still failed to secure any horses and access to their UU. A failing civ.
A despotic regime annoyed with us. They have 9 cities and 9 gold. They employ archers, have spices in their capitol and wines in the hinterlands. They have the Colossus in Salamanca.

America:
A republic annoyed with us. They have 5 cities and 42 gold. They employ spearmen. They have iron and incense in their hinterlands. They lack knowledge of Feudalism or Monotheism.
Seems the Americans have lost their archers! They were not at war wth greece, but are at war with Aztecs. They have actually expanded and gained pop. unlikely to die very soon.
A despotic regime annoyed with us. They have 3 cities and 22 gold. They employ archers. They may be at war with Greece (sorry, didn't make sure either way). If true, this civ is in danger of extiction.
