GTPoompt, since you've progressed much farther than I have; I'm currently at 960AD--hope to post another save at 1070AD or Industrial Age, whichever comes first.
Use these posts of mine as sort of a Civ mentoring guide. Analyze and compare what I did with the same game to with what you did. It will help you later at the higher levels.
Try to monopolize the strategic resources of oil,aluminum, rubber and uranium. If you do, the AI's (all 10 them) won't be able to build modern weapons--at least those that need fuel and no nukes. You still will face Tow Infantry and Marines. But since you will have Bombers/Stealth, Mech Inf, Tanks/Modern Armor, you will have and easier time taken them out plus you will be the only one to build the spaceship parts.
Until my next post, good luck.

Okay, here it is. 1070 AD. #1 in science. The Dutch are real SOBs. They sent 3 stacks of ten (combination of Knights--one stack; and 2 stacks--7Med.Inf. & 3 Swiss Mercs.) Got 7 MGLs when the dust cleared. Holding off researching Gunpowder since at least 2 AI's have. Going the other direction since no one else is. Got 3 SGLs for my efforts--one to rush Sistine, one to rush Copern, & one to initiate a Scientific golden age.
1460 next post.

quote:
However, the problem with the industrial era is that it switches mostly to a defensive type war until tanks//marines. |
That is not true. If your are skillful enough to build Knights Templar, those Crusaders loaded into an Army is very powerful--2 attacks/turn. Coupled with Cavalry--movement 3--also in an army, very deadly. Remember, these units cannot be upgraded, so stick them in your first armies until more powerful units appear.
Also, don't dis the Guerilla or the Infantry units. Many of the AI's won't have the cash to upgrade to these units, so their cities will still be defended by pikemen or rifleman. There have been numerious times when I used these units in combination with artillery and Ironclads & Frigates (softens the enemy up) to take out cities. In your game, when I finally reach Industrial Age, I'll try to post a couple saves to show you this. One post before attack and one after. How does that sound??
Good luck and keep the faith.

Is it a bug or something the programmers overlooked??? The AI NEVER use armies.
I'm glad they don't, but it would be nice to have my armies go up against one.

Here's a save at the beginning of the Medieval Age.
Wanted to have some fun with total sea domination and the (in)famous Man-O-War. Chose England (Seafaring, Commercial), Huge map, Archipelago, 80% Water, Random climate, Raging barbs. Emperor difficulty, using the AU Mod.
Started on a large island together with the Ottomans. A good start with a natural Settler pump (producing a Settler every 4 turns). The surroundings not so great, but not very bad either.
The Ottomans had to go. I used some really nasty tricks, planning an Arrian's Deception. Like signing peace for a tech and two of their cities, then going back to work... err.... to war on the next turn. The save is about 10 turns after the Ottoman empire became history. They didn't manage to tell anyone of the English way of politics. 
England built only 1 wonder so far, but it was the one that rules Archipelago maps - The Great Lighthouse (peaceful Golden Age for England included). It allowed me to do exploration and get lots of contacts fast.
Not so long ago the AI civs started providing England with cash and luxuries, to keep our research rate as high as possible (selling one tech to all rich AI civs every 10 turns). How nice of them. 
Here I realized that I had way too few Workers and Settlers (didn't see it coming while I was "at work" with the Ottomans), so quick adjustments were made.
Enjoy.

Sumerian Game summary:
Tied with Dutch in tech race. My Monarchy versus their Democracy. Techs we have, they don't: Electricity, Atomic Theory, Replaceable Parts & Corporations. Techs they have, we don't: Ironclads, Fascism, & Refining. Since all others Civs have just started to enter Industrial Age, I've decided to take out Dutch before they get to Replaceable Parts.
So GTPoompt, here's the first shots of Industrial Age warfare.
Can someone tell me how you post those screens shot from your game.
Don't know how many more game files I'll be able to post. Files are now at 458KB.

for the screenshots, I opened up photoshop in the background and then pushed printscreen which copies the screen into the clipboard then opened a new document.
As far as I know, windows paint works too. Print screen then alt+tab to paint and control+v or paste. Just make sure you save into a .jpg file or it will be rather large
It seems like the computer really likes fascism for some reason.
I can't really tell if the dutch have access to rubber, I'm sure they do somewhere, i'll just look harder. As for Oil - hopefully its floating around as well.

Dutch counter offensive broken at the gates of Enschede. Our military leaders are superior to theirs.
General Meskiaggasher took over the administration of Enschede and its defenses and switched construction of a police station to that of a colosseum. He was quoted as saying, "We don't need civilians poking around while the frontlines are just minutes away. Our troops will enforce the peace, besides we need some diversions around here. The sight of so much Dutch blood will shock even the most hardened soldier. So let them have our famous Sumerian fan dancers. Any sumerian wants to fight for that." He sent his deputy commander--General Enmerkar to oversee Leerdam and also switched construction of a police station to that of a colosseum. "Boredom is the enemy in the rear. We need some enterainment while our boys rest before being sent back to the front." Back at the front, General Lugalbanda--commander of all crusader forces--decided to build a 3rd Crusader Army while the other two (Holy Crusaders of Sumeria & Gilgamesh's Righteous Fist) were recuperating from battle. A name has not been given to the new army. General Lugalbanda says he'll think of something. Meanwhile, General Lugalzaggesi--head of military intelligence--greeted members of the government & press to the dedication ceremony in Sumer of the new headquarters of the top spies. With the closing of the embassy in Amsterdam, it was essential to make sure that information on Dutch technological advancements, their city production schedules, their troop movements, their propaganda campaigns did not get interupted.
On the high seas, our navy faired just as well. Two squadrons of privateers--one Spanish & one Dutch--intercepted Dutch naval units. Off the coast of New Lagash and just east of the Spanish city of Valencia, our Spanish privateers sank two Dutch vessels (one frigate & one caravel). No loses were reported, however, reports indicate that a new contigent of Dutch privateers was formed after the Spanish sunk the Dutch frigate and by all accounts proved formidable as they sunk the caravel. The Dutch commander loyal to the crown was promoted for his efforts. Off the Dutch coasts of Tilburg & Harlingen, our Dutch privateers intercepted 2 Dutch frigates & a galleon sailing out of Tilburg. Combat was fierce as 3 privateers were sunk in order to sink the Dutch floatilla. Only 2 privateers were created to replenish our loses. Damaged ships headed for Spetum to make repairs.
The Dutch have access to 2 rubber and one oil.
I have access to Dell Image Expert and something called Paint (is this Windows Paint you're talking about). Either way still can't copy screenshots. What am I doing wrong???

If you are on XP you should be able to hit the Prt Scr key. This puts it in the clipboard. You can put it into any app from there. Paint is a windows app and if you open it and go to edit you will see paste as an option. That will take the image in the clipboard and put it into paint.
BTW if you see paste is grey, then nothing is in the clipboard.

General Enmerkar must've fallen alseep from boredom because the Dutch sent 14 divisions of Cavalry & Knights through his lines to the plains of Leerdom & Enschede. They were back by 12 divisions of Swiss Mercenaries.
General Etana, in command of 13 Sumerian cavalry divisions, sent his forces charging in without artillery support. Although the Dutch were decimated, it was a pyrrhic victory for Etana, some of his troops reported 80% casualties. They pulled back to the rear areas for rest and replenishment. Some cavalry units regrouping at Apisala were organized into an army calling themselves Etana's Elites.
On the plains of Leerdam, General Lugalbanda and his crusaders, backed by artillery support, crashed into the Swiss forces and mauled them. Imbeded reporters witnessing the crusaders hack the Swiss to pieces, referred to the 3rd Army (still un-named at the time) as Lugalbanda's Lunatics. Some Infantry and all available guerilla units finished what was left of the Dutch counter-attack. Lugalbanda was sent to Kish, home of the crusaders, to reorganize the military bureaucracy. He began construction of a 3 story, 5 sided building that would better coordinate military operations--he calls it the Pentagon.
Meanwhile back at Leerdam & Enschede, Generals Meskiaggasher & Enmerkar ordered the construction of Police Stations to combat the growing corruption and unrest from Dutch nationals.
In other news, a Sumerian privateer operating in Russian and Babylonian waters attacked and sank an Egyptian frigate; its crew were recruited and sent to patrol Egyptian water for prey.

The Dutch seem to have an endless supply of horse soldiers. With Sumerian troops mopping up at Leerdam and cavalry forces being reorganized, the Dutch sent 3 divisions of knights and 10 divisions of cavalry against Sumerian infantry at Enschede. General Meskiaggasher's troops faced repeated charges from the Dutch. A statement released to the press by the General indicates that Dutch nationals have been pressed into service to clean-up the dead horse carcasses for health and sanitary reasons.
Memo
From: General Lugalzaggesi, head of military intelligence
To: King Gilgamesh
Sire,
It is now confirmed that the Dutch do have a new class of warship. They call it an ironclad. Reports from our navy say their guns cannot breach the hull. Furthermore, observers confirmed that 3 ironclads are sailing north to Tilburg, escorting troop ships. Septum has been put on full alert, as with all other coastal cities in the event of possible Dutch amphibious operations. Our naval units will do everything in their power to stop these ships.

How does it work exactly?
Only one of his cavalry units actually attacked--died attcking one of my crusaders north of Spetum along the Gilgamesh Line.
