Well, I haven't played Civ for about maybe a year, and do not even have a copy at my home at the moment, but I'm intending to rectify this soon and get back into it.
I'd also like to get active in GS again, insofar as my limited abilities with the game can make any meaningful contribution.
All I can do at the moment is to enthuse about growth and economic development in conjunction with friendly relations with AC. Especially as I see my old friend Theseus waving his nuclear banana around and lusting for another war.
So soon, T?
I know some people think war is the fun bit of Civ, but I love peaceful building, and enjoyed my turnplayer role in the PTWDG1 for GS - ramping up the economy while building diplo relations with GoW for the attack on Lego. It's when the shooting starts (and even the detailed planning for it) that I get out of my depth.
Maybe our long term strategy should depend on what's going on 'over-there' in the rest of the world, when we find out, and we should look to be peaceful with AC at least until then. It seems that we are in no condition to go to war again soon, and having been at war since about turn 11 we really need to get an empire and economy going unmolested by military action.
Taking out AC (even if it were possible) would only paint a huge target on us from the pov of the overseas Civs. Also, war is much harder on the turn-player where there are few active players to support them. Human logistics, as well as game-goals, must be considered. Enjoying the game is far more important that winning it, at the end of the day.
