I won't make my decision about the GL until I sit down with the game after work today, but odds favor an army to get the Heroic Epic.
Definitely don't want the Forbidden Palace yet. We'll want to put it in a place where we'll get another core of productive cities, and we may want to consider placing it on another continent than our starting one. Why? Right now, it looks like we're going to have an excellent chance of securing the home continent without too much trouble, and there's a very good chance that the Great Library will be built by another civ on another continent. Since we'll be going to war with that civ on that continent, if we could get some cities there through war and/or founding, along with a GL from the battles, we could then rush a Forb. Palace there, and use its productivity to ease the struggle of a cross ocean war.

Okay, played it out. War has gone very well, and nearing the end, although our forces have been spread a little thin.
310 BC Renegotiate peace with Alexander. He gives us Pharsalos.
290 BC Swordsman chop and burn down Centralia, rewarded with 17 shiny round things, and more laborers. Temple whipped in Nagoya.
270 BC Yokohama founded near good smelling hills.
250 BC Swordsman army completed, sent towards Iroqouis front.
230 BC Swordsmen pound Allegheny into the dirt, finding 18 shiny round things in the dust.
210 BC Hi came in between turns, asking for peace, willing to part with two cities, plus something that he says would let us build stadiums for our moronic rabble. I decline, war good, war very good.
190 BC
170 BC
150 BC Salamanca falls to our guys with long sharp things. We immediately begin starving the idiots.
130 BC ---
110 BC Niagra Falls, well, falls. 28 gold, another worker. Shimoneski founded.
Whoops, took an extra turn, didn't I? Okay, the Iroquois are almost dust. Hopefully, Tarq you'll be able to use our army to win a battle and take Cattaragus. Workers have begun clearing forest to clear out an irrigation path to Kagoshima. Maybe I should have razed Salamanca, it looks like the Iroqs whipped the hell out of it. And our literacy rate remains at 0%.

Good idea, Dunk. Of course, we should find that scientist a cold, dark, and dank city.

Okay. I hope that skips don't happen, but if it does happen, we'll then hope that Tarq returns and takes a turn immediately afterwards. Especially since I've been playtesting a variant I call the Pacifists, and have been having a bit of fun with a game where I can't build any offensive millitary.

Yow, this is a heck of a start, and we're going to be in great shape to whomp on the Zulus and Greeks.
I'm going to give Tarq a chance to check in and grab the game. If not, I'll play tomorrow evening.
Or, if anyone else is interested in joining, we could use a couple more bodies to play.

I hope you don't mind, but I just wrote a short story about my turn, no the turn for turn thingy, it starts to get boring 
Tarquinius the Stupid rises as the next emperor of the Japanese in 70 AD. A guy who wears an armour says we have a strong military. That pleases the emperor. "I advise you Sire, not to make peace with the pathetic Iroqouis. If we wipe them out, the people in the Iroqouis lands will understand it was meant to be that the Japanese rule the land!" "Yeah, whatever. Just get my heroic, uhmm epic it is right? ready before I die" "We will try sire but we estimate that you will die a dew decades before it is built..." "Then whip those people!!!!" The next few days, the advisors were trying to explain to the emperor whipping was not possible. When he finally understood it could not be changed he yelled: "Then make sure I get a lovely wife, who can give me a strong son to rule the hero..., uhmm lands!"
A few years later our generals proudly report they have destroyed the Iroqoius. About time. In 150 AD, after many unsuccesful tries, the empress gets a son. "Finally" the emperor cried out. How shall I call him? "Randomturn looks like a good name for him sire" the domestic advisor suggested. "Hmmm, Randomturn, good name! That is how he shall be called.
I want to begin the building of a great wonder in his honor! What are the options advisors" "We can start the Great Wall in Osaka sire." "Splendid, a long wall is just what I sought!"
"It will help us to keep the Zulus out of our lands sire, we just sent them out for the third time." "Well, I didn't think of that yet, but it is nice"
The last years of the emperor is reign were quite boring. Only some babarian uprisings the founding of a new city, and tresspassing Zulus.
The emperor died in 250 AD. His beloved son Randomturn will be the next, and maybe even the last emperor of Japan....

I'm figuring on patching this evening after work. Cross the old fingers that there'll be no problems with our game. I guess the main point would be is that if a game gets saved while using patch 1.21, a person would need 1.21 to open that save file.
I also understand that you can now compress the saves using 1.21. Which means that we can upload the .sav file and not have to use a zip program. That'll be easier.

I will see if I get a chance to play the game this afternoon. If not, I'll play it tomorrow.
I have upgraded to 1.21. After some initial and general problems, everything is now okay. So we will be playing the rest of this game using 1.21.

Bah, I'm going to have to pass the turn to Dunk. Never got a chance to play yesterday, and my sister went into the hospital this morning.

Yah, thankfully everything has turned out okay, and she's back at her home and I'll be able to get back to the normal routine of life, work, and CivIII.
Good luck on your round of turns, Dunk.
