Also, questions welcome. Any requests I will also try to do, but there will be a full T100 turn report, hopefully with a few more city screens.

Wow, goddamn. Now that is one hell of a blitzkrieg. Great update!
I'm not sure I understand why you're saying that none of the cities you took were good commerce spots... there seems like a lot of river grassland and floodplains in the screenshots I'm seeing, and even a few hamlets and a village left intact... will probably take awhile to get it all up to full potential though. Curious about a few things, but I can wait for the T100 update for most of them. In the meantime: 1.) Have you had a Hindu spread yet? 2.) What's your city count now? 3.) When exactly will I finally get the chance to bark at HAK about Oracle-Before-Settler? 
1) No, but I did finally get a BUddhism spread this turn, first one of hte game into The Exchange, so a good hammer city from which to spread it once I get into OR and own that shrine.
2) 15 with 3 settlers in production, finishing eoT97, and two T100. 3) Probably depends on capture gold, but Calendar>Masonry>Construction finishes the last tech around T103 assuming 100% tech throughout and accounts for cities coming out of revolt. I would need only another 300 capture gold and wealth builds to be able to do that. Then it's just building up and murdering HAK. Staging time takes about 5 turns so T120 he actually dies maybe?
If HAK tries to contest Cholera probably a hell of a lot sooner though. Never quite sure what insanity is going through his mind, but I do know that I lack any sort of apprehension or concern about attacking him. He's just going to die.
Oh, actually, Buddhism was what I meant to ask about! Only one spread despite being so close to that shrine for almost 50 turns, eh? Bad luck!
And cool, good luck!
Thanks. Just working on micro to actually get that triangle settled between me, HAK and Tsargon. Gives another route of attack into HAK.
Economy...how does being the first civ to breach -100gpt sound? But I have enough gold to get calendar and most of the way to Construction. Another 150 capture gold would be sound though. After that who cares about the economy? I would have happy cap of 11. Just SP cities and build wealth.
Hey, a race to the bottom is still a race, right?
What calendar resources do you have, and what other classical-era techs do you have?
In order of research: IW, Math, HBR, Currency. Have 2 sugar, one at TW ex-capital and not in borders, and silk. Have all 4 market happy. Plan to get Gold from HAKland. Arguably Calendar is not so important with only 2 current sources but I expect a third calendar res also in HAKland. I also want the extra 10 commerce from the two silks. Extra happy is also more cottages.
