First of all, I would like to thank Sisuitil for creating the map for us this round. Map making can be tricky, since you want to offer a challenging game with various strategies available, especially in a series like this.
Secondly, I would like to thank OTAK for providing me an easy copy/paste for my intro. What follows is almost identical to his, heh, I just changed a few things to their proper references. So without further delay, here we go, MC Game 3!

Monarchist Cookbook Game III: Hammurabi of Babylon
We will be playing Hammurabi of Babylon on Monarch difficulty, Epic Speed. The map script used for this game is the new Tectonics map, which can produce a fairly wide variety of land and sea combinations. We went for the 60% water version, and have turned off Huts and Events. All other settings are standard/random.
Round one lasts from 4000 BC - 1500 BC.
Please play this Round and submit your Report into this thread by next Tuesday (July 8, 2008).
IMPORTANT: Please do not discuss opening strategies until after you have played and reported Round 1.
At the end of your Round, please remember to name your save with your name, game and Round # & game date (i.e. "MC3 Round 1 MyName BC-1500.CivBeyondSwordSave"). (And please don't forget to attach it to your Round report, either, lol.)
Roster:
WinstonHughes - featured player
Bleys - member,

). I then settled near the 'phants and started rexing. CoL is huge with Hammi's org trait. Chopped the mids in Cuzco (it has stone in the bfc).
). I think I ran 100% research most of the game. Headed thru paper, edu, philo, lib. Got beat to UoS 
probably due to the backlog of wonder building in the cap (AP, SM - it had soooo many 
with all those hills and seafood). Lost lib race to a distant civ by 4 turns
