I wasn't going to write any sort of report for my adv14 miserable failure, but maybe it will be amusing or something 
.
Anyway Caesar is always fun and I'll only be reporting the entertaining part of this game.
The declaration of war came in 125AD, I didn't have Construction at the time but quickly traded for Mathematics and started researching Construction.
Fortunately I had befriended two out of three of my neighbours so was practically ensured some military... aid....

Fortunately the RNG was on my side...

No! MY SIDE! Bad RNG! No cookie! He has praetorians so doesn't need your help!
Fortunately Caesar didn't really have all that many units, only 4 Praetorians visible there and a few support units.

you can't reach him. he's in his happy delusional place
I complete construction and trade for ivory from Cyrus, quite easy with the spare horses. I muster a respectable defense for Madras.

The Roman forces weren't respectful.
In fairness I did kill two Praets, although the RNG had continued to bless me with results like an Axeman win vs full hp Com1 elephant.

I'm not going to claim my play was particularly good. I wasn't daring and may have been overly cautious in city placement and I was pretty much playing speed turns. I didn't try for the Oracle and got the Great Lighthouse instead.
However I don't think my strategy was bad per-se, if one thing was really plain bad weed it was my religious allies fighting each other right as the war opened, excluding them from being bribed onto Caesar.
In case it wasn't clear, the title was playful sarcasm, I'm not at all bitter and I actually quite enjoy losing. But don't expect a trend of reporting losses! (
).
