Consul Ribannah looks at the mess and shakes her head ... 
Oh well, let's see what we can still make of this. Fortunately the rival team seems to have disappeared into thin air so the shame is still over the horizon.
1000 AD Who rush-built an entire caravan? What happened to incremental strategies? Putting workers in the ocean for cleansing.
1020 AD Gold Caravan produced, Memphis is demanding
1060 AD Salt Caravan produced, Elephantine is demanding
1080 AD The Japanese (who the h... are they?) complete Sun Tzu's War Academy
----- "Romans get Engineering from Vikings" - more tribes pop up by the day!
1100 AD Gave Theory of Gravity to Egyptians, got Navigation as gift
----- Gave ToG to Romans, Engineering as gift
1120 AD Coal Caravan meets Vikings near Veii, traded for Horseback Riding
----- Gave the Vikings all our techs (they looked a bit backward), signed a peace treaty and exchanged maps
1140 AD Roman Gold Caravan from Veii arrives in Carthage, Veii stops demanding Coal 
1160 AD Gold Caravan from Rome arrives in Carthage, Rome stops demanding Coal 
----- The Vikings build King Richard's Crusade (strange name for a Viking king ...)
1180 AD Food Caravan produced, Carthagian scientists discover Banking
1200 AD Our allies, the Egyptians, bring us shattering news: some rogue tribe called the Indians have taken Memphis! Fortunately, the city still demands gold 
1220 AD Food Caravan produced
1260 AD Food Caravan produced
1280 AD Gold caravan meets the Indians, traded for Bridge Building (pretty useless)
----- We refused to trade for the blasphemous knowledge of Polytheism
----- Give them all our tech instead (hopefully they will see the error of their ways)
----- Exchanged maps, signed peace treaty
1300 AD Food Caravan produced, Gold Caravan enters Memphis (d,546)
1320 AD A breakthrough!! Carthagian librarians find the secret of Sanitation.
----- Surely this will reduce the bad vapours
----- Gave Banking to the Romans and received a gift of 75 gold
----- Coal Caravan dumps contents in Rome for 87 sestertiae
1340 AD Carthage builds ISAAC NEWTON'S COLLEGE (who? what?), scientists cheer
----- Salt Caravan reaches the beautiful city of Elephantine (d,460)
1360 AD Carthagian bookwyrms invent Economics
1380 AD The first Bank in the world is built in Carthago!
----- Egyptians boast about a mysterious discovery called "chemistry"
1420 AD Sewer System completed, the citizens of Carthago start a spontaneous celebration out of love for Consul Ribannah
1440 AD Size 13
1460 AD Size 14, Carthagian fishermen construct a Harbor
1480 AD Size 15, Wizards of Carthago proclaim the discovery of Invention - what else is new
----- Traded with the Egyptians for Chemistry and Feudalism, refused to trade for Polytheism
----- Egyptians demand half our gold, we refuse, they back down 
----- Gave the Romans all our tech, exchanged maps, received a gift of 200 gold
1500 AD Size 16, Stock Exchange built in beloved Carthago
Facing the horrors of Democracy (due in 1540 AD), Consul Ribannah hurriedly leaves the scene ...

OK, played my turns until 1AD and here is my history:
0-625 Romans 100g
1-600
2-575 China completed HG, starts GL, Indians start LH, Romans GW
3-550 Marketplace-->Temple
4-525 Egypt starts GL
5-500
6-475
7-450 S5, temple, we now have 10 shields
8-425 Trade-->Literacy (I really hope that Romans have discovered map making by now!)
9-400 Indians built LH
10-375 Hides, gave trade to Romans
11-350
12-325
13-300
14-275 Romans discover bridge building (sigh)
15-250 Dye
16-225
17-200
18-175 China builds GL, Egypt change to Marco Polo's (smart guys, those Egyptians!)
We discover literacy-->the republic
We exchange it for bridge, get 25g from worshipful Romans
19-150 Romans 25g
20-125 Warrior for martial law
21-100 Romans 25g, our warrior uncovers a fish at our city's radius!
22-75 S6
23-50 Diplomat, we really need to explore more..
24-25 Romans stop with GW, Vikings start Sun Tsu
25-1AD Our hides caravan has finally arrived at the door steps of Veii which just grew to 7 and still demands hides. The two other caravans are getting close to the Rome empire as well.
Our settler has irrigated two forest squares into plains. Trading one shield to one more food and two trade arrows (with Colossus) sounds like a good bargain to me. We should be in republic very soon. Science rate is 10, science box is 60% full of beakers, caravan bonuses just about to arrive. We have a big problem though, we must find the other nations soon. That's a challenge to my successors!
Now I'll hurry to send the game to Paul & Scrobism.

King Skrobism took the scepter from an aging King Marko Polo. This peaceful exchange of power laid the ground work for the changes to come under King Skrobism. King Skrobism established trade with the Roman city of Veii, giving the economy a boost of 104 gold. Strengthened in confidence, the King declared that for now on Carthage would be under new form of rule. He called it the Republic. The Senate, at first put in place by the King of course, elected Skrobism as Consul of Carthage. The year that Marko Polo handed over the throne was declared the Year of Enlightenment and called year 1. For nearly 500 years the Consul would also be know as the Skrobism. The Skrobism Era saw more trade established with Roman Cities. The development of Map Making, and Mathematics. In the Year of Enlightenment 140, a Colosseum was completed in record time. The people were pleased with the family oriented events such as sporting events, public executions, and pro-Skrobism rallies. SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!!
In the Year of Enlightenment 260, a strange people were found coming to land in a craft that we only saw in the work shops of our scientists. These new people called themselves Egyptians. Skrobism exchanged knowledge of our forms of government for a technology called seafaring and Peace with these people. The Carthaginians looked to buy an Alliance with Egypt, but when we would not declare war on our eternal friends in Rome, the Egyptians refused. Over the next 100 years peace would be maintained, but not without incident. The Egyptians founded Giza almost on top of our long time fortified position and threatened to break the peace. We withdrew our troops. Years later, an exploring diplomat was expelled from territory claimed to be ruled by the Egyptians. In the Year of Enlightenment 500, we are still at peace with Egypt. But in halls of the consul palace and the senate, it is no secret that the Egyptians are distrusted.
The Colosseum was the place of much celebration in the Year of Enlightenment 400. Brave pioneers were given a hero's farewell as they were readied for a journey into the unknown. A trireme was loaded and set sail with a diplomat to parts unknown. Carthage is the most advanced civilization in the known world. There are reports of another nation more advanced than us. But how can that be? This civilization has not even made their name known to us. These reports were dismissed and spun to the liking of the Consul of Carthage. "Today we embark on the bold path of discovery. Carthage is the greatest City, no, civilization in the world. Some say that there are others greater than Carthage. But I say, 'Name them!'. Today I do. I name the civilization that is greater than Carthage." (Dramatic pause - the sound of a questioning audience and 'Popcorn! Peanuts! Ice cold drinks here!".) "The only nation greater than the Carthage of today, is the Carthage of Tomorrow!"
SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!! - SKRO-BIS-M!!!
The Skrobism Era continued for another 100 years. The discovers were never heard from again. Some say the age of discovery is behind us. Others claim that they can still see the explorers hugging the shores of new lands in the mists of time.
The save is being passed to Smash and Paul.
