The new boss looks at the map and decides to build Marco:
625: Marco tells us that the map is typical archipelago.
We share a rather big island with the Vikings. The others (except one, the Japs IIRC, who were willing to receive 200g at once, and declared war after we said NO) rule much smaller islands, but don't share them with anyone.
I feel like being a peaceful tradesman (only at war with the Vikings and the Japs  ). Therefore, lots of techs are given to the Sioux (since we are supreme) and we start building settlers (roadbuilders), triremes and caravans, in order to establish fat trade routes with them.
We lose a chariot to the Vikings after discovery of Kaupang, then sign a CF with them (after having killed a chariot and a warrior).
Peaceful growth since then.
I saved after 15 turns: we are close to delivering our first caravans to the Sioux and switching to Republic (if my successor feels like it, of course  ).

Got a couple Sets mining the hidden special near Madrid. The pattern on the north end of the continent has been fleshed out, so the hidden special location by Valencia is now guaranteed, and I think it will be a Silk. First we need to irrigate the interior before mining the special

Thanks both.
I shall try to make good use of this knowledge (though attacking with a trireme is generally not a good idea in civ2).

lots of gold, lots of partially completed stuff - finish building anything that was already started (caravans, settlers, white goods), rearrange workers to take advantage of trade this turn - nets all of 3 more gold and 7 beakers... scout out where things are headed off to. Hmm, Trireme is closer to warwick, but caravan is closer to nagasaki - Hastings is the closest visible english city (18). means english are expanding - receptive - gift construction and get maps - find 3 more english cities plus nara. Warwick is 9 from trireme, 9.5 from caravan, so nagasaki must be 9 spaces away. will have to decide what to do with those caravans on that continent - beads only demanded by warwick of nearby known cities so will hold off picking up the stranded caravan.
340: whenever having the choice, choose something other than the supply wildcard for caravans
study of location of unknown cities with wonders all indicate that the caravan west of the sioux is north of all remaining population centers, so reboard trireme for transport.
rushbuild white units
360: finish trireme (lots of caravans to trade, nothing to transport it), vikings try in vain to take the hill
380: gold to saragossa (36 gold)
400: silk discovered outside madrid 
420: english lose canterbury to Barbs...
440: discover navigation (hmm, maybe i shouldn't have rushed that trireme a couple turns ago) , start engineering, hides to london (196 gold), accept peace with vikings (doh, we have a dishonorable rep  )
460: english take frustrations out on us and sink a trireme , salt to Aarhus (40 gold)
480: Another Canal founded, lose track of size of Hello There, citizens show their displeasure
500: engineering, start Sanitation
520: japanese decide to continue our war
540: japan and england disagree on ideas of peace
560: vikings break the peace, still staring up the hill
580: Dye to Coventry (140), Hides to Coventry (152), ponder contacting Americans to trade maps, decide against english getting our techs with GL...
600: Sanitation, start Invention,
620: Dye to Trondheim (80), English reclaim Canterbury
Ok, I got off to a pretty good start and tailed off. I did get a couple good deliveries, and have a several caravans riding on a caravel and a trireme near Japan. I was a little hesitant to land them because a Japanese Explorer was quite hostile towards the caravan in the picture above, and the english attacked one of our triremes. I do have about 6 food caravans in Central Beach (and a caravan in production which can be rushed if desired) with 3 more food caravans in transit so we can build Magellans or Shakespeares or Leo's (in a couple turns) there. I have a sewer system started in Madrid that we can rush to start celebrating this turn (forgot it was irrigating or it would have a full food box). I got rid of one swamp around bilbao and have 3 settlers working the area to start preparation there. It has an aquaduct, and we can rush the temple to start celebrating this turn. I also neglected our military after the watching the vikings continually try and charge the mountain - I did move a chariot onto the hill to help protect against bribing and to take out the catapults that periodically stare us down.
Couple of other thoughts - Kyoto's been building the Oracle for about 7-8 turns now, and the english are rather lacking in science even with the GL. If i had been paying attention, i could have gifted techs to them in the rounds preceding other Civ's discovering them and kept them happy.

Military? Neglected entirely. Too busy building caravans for 1) Wonder construction in our designated SSC, Bilbao, and 2) expanding our trade network for many additional arrows/turn.
here's the save, log to follow shortly
