Turn 121, In Which AT Consolidates
These are Molach's forces. He apparently had a a settler already lined up.
Note the mace. Molach is currently up at least:
Calendar
Civil Service
Metal Working
Machinery
He's probably 5 turns or so from Feudalism. I'm hurting him badly and I would venture that it doesn't matter, that I won't be able to take him out. btw - I probably should have gone calendar a long time ago, instead of CoL. I dunno what I was thinking - I can't build courts while at war, anyway.

Turn 122, In Which AT Sees The Writing On The Great Wall
dtay is coming for me. And his army is huge.
pics in a few.
I give myself 20 turns, at best. I'll whip myself into oblivion, but I'm going to be fighting a 3 front war as soon as barteq realizes what's happening, and I can't defend against that.

Well, you can kind of see it coming from the fact that dtay had only 2 neighbors. I had hoped he could go east, but I guess I left too much open. Probably the whale is a nice inducement as well.

If I'm dtay, the best inducement is all the "-3 you declared war on us" in neighboring diplo screens...

Well, sure - I screwed up the game several ways - losing 3 cities is never a good thing. I mean, imp/pro is all about expansion, and I expanded, and then was able to go nowhere 
I think this was a tough position to succeed in - I don't really understand the layout - I thought one of the major complaints about PB18 was that some people had basically secure borders and others were caught in the middle, and it certainly seems like both dty and barteq had fewer neighbors than me and fairly obvious plants to be made to cut me off. I certainly screwed up in allowing them to take those plants, though I didn't even know where dtay was until he planted.
But I did a crap job with it Looking back, UT should have just been a cottage city, and Huh? should probably have been broken up into 2 cities, since it had both of my best food sources. I should have gone south with what was unboiled egg and I should have taken the clam site faster.
In game news:
I've lost 3 cities: Molach took one and dtay took 2, which means I lost a resource (whale breath). Molach is looking to take unboiled egg back next turn, which will give him an opening into huh, plus he's going to take the city south of huh, which is being threatened by a horse archer had has just a scout in it. adrien is coming for his other 2 cities, as well.
barteq hasn't hit me yet, but he will.

the city has only a scout in it - I moved the archer out to help with unboiled egg. He has a horse archer that can attack it next turn.

So, here's a question - what do I do about my workers? I have a bunch and I'm currently at war with 3 people - I supect it will be 4 soon. Do I send them all to the last city? break them up into 4 cities for capture by each power?

They're your workers, so do whatever you want with them, IMHO.
