Commentary: Discussion thread. Knows a fair bit about the Civ series and had a game of Civ V under his belt when recording. Explains basic concepts, points out lots of details. (Finders fee to MonorailCat and ichibang.)

Hyren277 playing Catherine/Russia with settings: Continents, Standard, Chieftain, Standard (Completed 2010-09-24)

Videos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ends at 1h37m

EugeneofSavoy18 playing Napoleon/France with settings: Continents, Large, Prince, Epic + new random seed (Updated 2010-11-06)
Videos: playlist (27)
Commentary: First play. Recent uploads may not be in playlist.
RandomProduct playing Augustus/Rome with settings: Continents, Small, Chieftain, Standard (Updated 2010-11-04)
Videos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

Commentary: Blind first play. Focus on military. He pauses between episodes 9 and 10 to learn a fair bit about the game, which makes him miss fewer obvious tactics. Pauses between 16 and 17, picking up after changing some events. (Finders fee to Lord Arska.)
TheMeInTeam playing Oda/Japan with settings: Continents, Small, Emperor, Standard (Updated 2010-10-26)
Videos: playlist (16)
Commentary: Showcasing early agression into ICS - infinite city sprawl. (Finders fee BornSlippy!)

Moved into a spoiler box just to keep this post more brief.
Notes:
- My intent is to keep this initial post up-to-date with the latest findings, and keep it accurate.
- Please drop your own commentary, updates, or errata in the thread.
- After a little while, I think we'll create a "LP Hall of Fame", and a lot of this launch week/month content will drop away. But we'll see...
Enjoy!
