After conquering Lazteuq's Narea, Noble declared war on me and killed all the wounded units (around 6 units). Also he moved 6 units to the city near Adrianopolis (far SE) and I manage to kill 4 of them. He keeps asking for peace and I rejected. I think he wants to keep the border with Amicacola and not putting all units against me. Now I am afraid that he can conquer Tiflis very easyly and get into my territory with a powerful pile. My units resource is very weak and it takes a lot to make the barracks in the eastern cities, which can yield a good production of units.
In research I am researching Machinery to get Crossbowmans, I see that Noble already has Chokoonuts. And I suspect he already has researched Engineering because his units moved from a far distance to kill my pile.

I've making units. So far Noble has Knights and his research must go very very advanced. I am still two turns to get machinery to make Crowsbowmans and after I am thinking about Engineering.
On the west apperared two piles of Ballista Elephants of Civac. I was afraid of an invation but now I see he is going east to fight Noble.
I am doubting whether building the great lib in Karakorum or just go for units. I think it is not worth any more to make more building, because I am afraid Noble will come with a huge pile.

Yes, unitl now everything is very quiet.
I though nobody is following the thread so I am not very motivated to say anything.
Also the snowball effect is getting so great that I just keep seeing what happens .

Always following, and what LOVE a state of the empire/plan plus maybe some screenshots?

Noble just destroyed a Lazteuq city and has a huge pile with Moskemen and Macemen. He keeps askings for peace, and I deny it because I don't want him to prepare peacefully. He will keep preparing without peace. Also, I hope the war weariness borders him.
I just keep waiting until he tries to invade my territory. His advance in tech and units is huge and I think I can't do anything to affront it. I keep making units and trying to make GP to research more. In the pic bellow you can see that I am the last in all indicators.

Just a quick check, How do you feel about this game?

The game is very well organized and I find the map very nice. I like very much the atmosphere of the players, the attitude and the ambient in general. I have been learning a lot. I played the game occasioanlly for more than 10 years , but allways against the IA, and now I see that playing with humans is quite different.
From my personal point of view is very frustating because the level of experience players is so high that I can not reach it neither by far. For me, the effort of getting experience is so high that I am not in the mood to involve so much energy.
Anyways I am very grateful for the chance of playing that you gave me.

If I understand it right, you enjoy the PBs in general, but are frustrated by having to play against very experienced players?
I think if that's the case, you could try to get a new Greens Game rolling, if that would be more enjoyable for you.
Fwiw and without having read your thread yet, from afar it seemed like you were doing pretty well here, and improved a lot compared to your previous games. Mjmd was wondering occasionally what was up with working unimproved grass tiles  , but overall I think you can be pretty happy with your performance 
I was a bit disappointed that you didn't sign up for pb59, hope to see you around in future games!

Miguelito, thanks a lot for your comments.
It is curious, but I used to dream playing Civ4 games against human players in a quiet and ideal atmosphere, before meeting all of you at this forum. Now, the reality (as always) is very different. Playing with such a good players it is like going to the hell.
Also, I guess there are no many greens playing this old game these days.
I might be sign up for a future game. Even just for learning to deal with frustration!
