Don't count on that...
I'm going first, eh? Will grab sooooo's new save and get us underway tomorrow.
@Sooooo : thanks again. How do you change speed ? worldbuilder or is it clear text on the file header ?
Re game : is everyone ok with 1NW ? do we go AH first ? going agri first would reduce tech cost but the 2 hammers from cows are nice too

Don't know if it's the most efficient way, but I did this:
CTRL+W (enter worldbuilder)
Save worldbuilder file.
Open worldbuilder file with notepad, change to GAMESPEED_EPIC, save file
Open new worldbuilder file in worldbuilder
CTRL+W (exit worldbuilder)
Save new game
CTRL+W (enter worldbuilder)

No worries about getting the cows fast, we have time to get agri first since well need a worker before... and i really prefer getting a worker at pop 2 at this level, gotta get at least a warrior or 2 before even thinking about a worker. Agri is a must too for the rice, and then i guess masonry for the stone and get us a fine pyramid.. Representation is a great starting civic! And i dont think barbs will be enough of a problem that we MUST need the great wall, eventhou it is a good wonder...
If we settle 1NW we can wait till after BW to get Masonry because it will take two border pops or a settlement to get the stone anyways. My vote would be for Mine/BW so we can whip out the first worker and have him mine till Ag and Ah come online.
Growth is the most important thing on early game. Growing and whipping population feeding on unimproved tiles is ineffcient
This is emperor, and we need to go to war soon (maybe very soon). If we're boxed in and have to go to war with 2 civs unprepared, we're doomed. My preference goes for gallic swords. The great wall might help but in my experience it gets built damn early

In 4000 BC, Nidaros was founded on fertile land next to a shimmering lake.
First build was a worker, to harvest the rice and to domesticate the bovines.
The "hut" lottery
Viking participants did well this round, winning (in order) map info, 41g, a scout, enough exp for woodsman2 aaand...
One of our scouts also discovered this dream vacation spot.
That's an oasis on a river.
I've never seen anything like that. I think it's some kind of anomaly because it doesn't get +1 gold for being next to a river.
New kids on the block
This far, we've met Asoka, Augustus, Hatty, Isabella, Kublai and Louis. Asoka founded Hinduism while Izzy took buddhism.
Domestic
Agriculture and AH were researched and we're currently working on mining. After the worker was done, I started an archer and worked the lake while the rice was farmed. Currenly the city is working the farm and a pasture is being built.
That's the world as we know it currently. Note the discovered locations of other civs. I also put down some preliminary dots and marked our scouts. Both are currently healing due to the rough love of some furry friends.
Here's the save.

Great report Stuge, i love lots of pictures 
Anyway, i think the SW dot is a good choice for a 2nd city since it will block the romans... We need to border block some civ at this level, believe me, it really helps... Just check RB-1 from Sullla and Sirian how they blocked england at the beginning even thou the level was prince.

Answer to lurker:
Finland is geographically in Scandinavia, but we Finns as people aren't Scandinavic. We are a mix between slavic and nordic people, just like our land lies between Russia and Sweden. We have very little saltwater in our blood.

A good amount of exploring you did there Stuge.
My preference goes for the gold/elephants site. The piggies one SW is great but we need ironworking to work them then calendar to be able to use the dyes. SE, there's no food. Banana needs calendar too. East is yet a mystery
There's one thing bad about the gold site : we'd need serious anti-barbies patrols as we'll be taking our share and Hatty's. Getting free archery was indeed a very good thing
Roster :
Stuge ->just played
Woebearer -> UP
GreyFox -> On Deck

As i understand it this game is about the forgotten Finnish Vikings who did rule the countless lakes of Finland.

Yeah i agree, getting archery will definetly help us in the future and i also love that gold site... plus the elephants will also be a nice thing to have with cats when well have to attack our enemies.

Hah, yeah, they were too drunk to sail on the open sea...
Whole lot o nothing really....
Press enter and explore till Mine comes in and start on BW.
Find Cathrine to our east in 2800.
Finish Archer and start on Settler at 3 pop in 2680, should have BW in time to do chop finish the settler and a good chunck of the 2nd arch.
Lose a scout to a hidden warrior, but the double promoted scout takes one of their's down.... only 4 more till he can be promoted again!
Everyone was getting slavery on my last few turns.
Here is the east now.
