Congrats with first post, Termitnik!
You already have fastest Space win but arabs are good for conquest/domination. Let's conquer the world!

It will be either space or cow for me, depending on what I see in the first 500 years or so.
Yet again the Predator handicap has me considering playing Open. The competitive part of me hates the idea, but if I spend around 200 hours on a milk run and then miss the cow by 5 points to a good Open player, I may have to kill myself.
I plan to move the scout to the hill 2 SE. If he sees nothing special then I will found on the spot or 1SE. I will have to work out on paper which location will give the quickest settler or granary/settler before deciding which.

I'll be starting on this tonight. My current HOF attempt flamed out and rather than starting another right away, this is a good time to get into this one. Considering we're below the equator, I think I'll send my scout north and see what turns up. For research, The Wheel to find horses (unless Japan is in the game) and then on to the Republic slingshot. I've been debating what victory type to shoot for and since we aren't scientific (and there might not be any in the game), I've decided against Space. Last COTM I played for 20K and I've been playing 100K HOF games lately, so those are out. Diplomatic or war (not enough time for histo) seem to be the most likely options and since I like the Ansars for warring, I think it's down to conquest or domination. I'll probably make that decision once the game is pretty far along. I'm hoping that Ainwood has been kind enough to supply us with horses & iron. That last COTM (Korea # 11) without horses was a nice touch, but being the Arabs without Ansars would be frustrating. I'll probably skip building all the AA wonders (though I might be inclined to capture a couple 
)

Moderator Action: We have simple rules to make it easy for simple moderators like me to police them.
The simple rules here are:
DO NOT post any game-specific information about any current game in any thread other than a valid spoiler thread for that game. Announcement or Pre-game threads for any game are not valid spoiler threads.
I do not want to have to analyse every post in every thread in this forum to make a decision about whether it's a spoiler for a current game or not. Since I don't even play all the games, that would be an impossible task even if I had nothing else to do with my time. Why is this so difficult to understand?
So now, to remove all the quotes and quote of quotes, I'll delete all the above posts and we can get on with our lives. Sorry if this throws the baby out with the bath water, but if you want a legitimate discussion you'll have to replay it in the appropriate place(s).

Ever so sorry. I'm new, and a bit thick apparantly.
