well, I couldn't do all I wanted to to, and rushing to get a couple extra turns in just cost us some time. Haste made a bit of waste.
No time to post full events, so here's the gist --
The Aztecs have been a thorn. Two major assaults repulsed, plenty of crucs wasted vs. their walled muskets. Don't even have their capital located yet.
As for everyone else, one city apiece is the norm.
--America is down to just Dallas (not found). Oh, there's a Barb New Orleans (6) ready for slaughter.
--The Greeks are down to Rhodes.
--The Babs are down to just Kish.
--Mongols still holding Karakorum (capital).
--Russians have Moscow, but no one knows where...
did I forget a civ? Dunno. Tired. Full report after Christmas. Meantime, here's the save.
BTW, I did know turn prep so next in line will need to do the tickling thing.
Oh, and what do you guys mean when you refer to BB's and DD's (destroyers?) ? There's enough context to get me close, but I guess i don't speak the lingo quite yet.
Finally -- Happy Holidays to all!!

The Rabbit King looks about, sees over 60 cities to manage. Heavy sigh at the thought of long turns. But joy at the thought of a nice, easy hack-n-sack menatlity. 
1380 -- Mousing around, I am shocked to see we're building tons of Barracks. Which means no Sun Tsu. How can that be??? Oh, the no science thing... Right... We didn't miss it -- just not available. 
Much Barb movement. Russians get gunpowder.
1400 -- Population hits 6MM. We sack Argos for 30 GP, decline Greek cease-fire.
Capture Ellipi for 21 GP.
We also find new targets -- Akkad (Bab) and Calxlhuaca (Aztec). 
Sack Herakleia for another 28 GP.
Hut = 50 GP.
1420 -- Greeks switch to Republic. We respond by sacking Thessalonica for 37 GP.
We find Knossos and immediately attack. Mistake.  We will return!!
Exploration of southern polar area begins.
Troop transport gets semi-organized.
1440 -- We find Texcoco and Babylon
Akkad captured = 13 GP.
We locate Rhodes, last undiscovered Greek city.  Conveniently located for future destruction....
Hut = 50 GP
Knossos taken = 136 GP. So that's where they keep their money. 
Polar hut = 200 GP 
The Rabbit King notes Aztecs are allied with the Russians, wonders if that's a carry-over or a new thing. If new, maybe a clue on Moscow's location... 
1460 -- We capture the Pyramids of Babylon and 13 GP. Check for granaries to sell. Babs demand audience, opt for war.
Samarra (Babs) found and taken = 5 GP (woo hoo!).
Thought we had black-clicked the last American city (Dallas), but it turns out to be New Orleans (6), a Barb stronghold. Not fun, since we can't bribe for NONE units. We briefly consider establishing an embassy with them.
City of Unneeded Canal is founded on 2-whale spot.
Hut yields many Barb horsies. Crusader leaps back onto caravel. Barbs head toward Slump.
Capture Calixtlahuaca for 32 GP and [B]Bridge Building[/B}. Stunned to learn that someone had a tech we could use. Leo's upgrades a few warriors to Musketeers.
Survey reveals the only civs with multiple cities are the Babylonians (2), Aztecs (4), and americans (3).
Our reputation is "Atrocious." 
1480 -- We have reached 7MM in population.
Eridu taken for 10 GP. We resolve to end the pathetic economic squalor rampant in the cities we've been taking.
Polar hut yields Crusader.
Chicago taken, along with its 43 GP.
City of Why Not Here? is founded amid former Celt empire (IIRC).
Hut yields advanced tribe. City of Pisa is size 2, with granary, temple, and marketplace. Granary sold.
Mass assault on Teotihuacan. Their walled muskets repulse about 10 crusaders (including several vets). The Rabbit King vows revenge.
Hut on new island yields nomads. Crusader stays behind in order to forge a new life on the virgin soil.
Still no sign of Russians.
1500 -- Barbs land near Karakorum, revealing that their best defense is a Phalanx. 
City of Silkiness is founded NE of fading American empire.
Final Babylonian city of Kish is spotted.
We found the city of Chilling Effect north of Aztec empire.
1510 -- Americans decide on a Republican government. The fools!!!!!!
Polar hut = 100 GP.
Additional huts yield Advanced Tribe (Melbourne) and 100 GP.
1520 -- After much manipulation prepping to take the American stronghold of New York (9), we basically waltz in using only about 4 of our massed Crusader force. Yields 97 GP. Bored troops set sights on new Orleans, knowing final city of Dallas must be near.
Our other attack force takes on the Aztec city of Texcoco. We are again repulsed.
The Rabbit King swears revenge, orders all caravels to load up with vet crusaders.
Having lost 2 major battles,  the troops have been heard to mutter that  they have "no confidence in the damn Rabbit." Fresh grafitti spotted in the capital expresses the thought that "Any Git Could Do Better."
The Rabbit King sees the writing on the wall  and secedes the monarchy.  :
