So, I'll swap Gilgamesh with Gandhi? That would make the new schedule:
Aug 25/6: Roosevelt (Ind/Org) -- Robert FIN
Sep 6: Gilgamesh (Cre/Pro) -- The Oz-Man
Sep 20: Victoria (Fin/Imp) -- tijup
Oct 4: Gandhi (Phi/Spi) -- pomthom
Oct 18: Boudica (Agg/Cha) -- NobleZarkon
Nov 1: Pacal II (Exp/Fin) -- dalamb
With regard to map damage -- it's a good idea always to keep the original normal save file around before you start editing. I suppose another safety check is to load the "noble huts" WB save right after that edit, which is the biggest one.

Nobles' Club CXXIX Roosevelt is up! Have fun!
Since I'm pretty lazy, I wrote a unix shell script that take my WBSave, and edit all by itself. Adding
tech, removing huts, etc. It make the whole process a lot easier
If there's interest, I will post it.
I'm currently playing my release candidate map for NC131 victoria. everything should be on time.

Hey! How did you do that? Teach your Super-Hi'Tech-Unixshell skills to me too
! That sounds good if it works 
!lol 
Since the past 20 years, I work as a unix system administrator, so, writing scripts to automate as much as possible my job is normal. As a rule, I do a job by hand once, I will do it twice, I won't do it a third time. I wrote a script to speed up things.
I'll upload it today, I've to figure how to by-pass my firewall and proxy without opening security breaches.

! That's awesome!! Thanks a hundred times !Here's the script, and an example.
(removed servername, my username and groupname)
If you're not familiar with unix, remember that everything is case sensitive.
Let me know if you have issues.
I wrote it on Solaris 10, it should work on most linuxes, I haven't tested (yet).
I used only portable (mostly POSiX) commands, and avoided optimizations for the
sake of compatibility.
(removed servername, my username and groupname)
Code:
xxx:~/NC131>sh generate_games.sh
usage: generate_games.sh -f filename -m game_name
-f = WorldBuilder Save File
-m = game name
Example: generate_games.sh -f RC_Victoria_BC-4000.CivBeyondSwordWBSave -m NC131_Victoria
xxx:~/NC131>sh generate_games.sh -f RC_Victoria_BC-4000.CivBeyondSwordWBSave -m NC131_Victoria
Changing Speed, MaxTurns. Removing Handicap Lines.
Changing PlayableCiv to 0, safe first one.
Removing all Units, safe Player's ones.

Enter: The VAIKE!
I rolled a Gilgamesh map that'll be ready for Friday. It's funny because I've been playing Civ V a lot lately (yes yes I am a traitor), and the first start I rolled I went "Oh sweet a lot of desert, that'll make for a fun map" and then remembered which game I was playing.

Desert is fun in Civ V?
The Oz-Man
Enter: The VAIKE!
There's a wonder (Petra) that makes desert starts pretty awesome if you can get it.
I might be a little late tomorrow with this. Long day today and I'm probably gonna hit the sack soon. It'll be Saturday at the very, very latest, but I should have it up tomorrow.

I saw a Discovery Channel program about the real Petra (aside from its guest appearances in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Transformers N for some value of N). It's pretty awesome in real life. How hard is it to achieve in-game? You won't be able to chop it!
The Oz-Man
Enter: The VAIKE!
You can get a Great Engineer from social policies (which replace civics... and I'm ambivalent about that because while it leads to an interesting set of bonuses it also means NO SLAVERY 
) and build it that way. The only hard part is that the AI kind of loves it, so it needs a straight beeline a lot of times. But if you get it, it adds an extra trade route (your primary source of gold) and a food and a hammer to all desert tiles (giving desert hills a food, which is great because most mine tiles in the game don't add any food at all this time).
Giggles should be ready to roll in a few hours, to bring it back to games people on this side of the board actually play.
