Looks doable to me. Tim, you seem to be in charge of this one until/unless our host returns. Wanna do the first 20 and draw up a roster?

Um... Looking forward to the start...

Rawk on! This should be a good one. 
Question for the group: The rules of this one say that we can't declare war on Rome or Japan. However, if our allies turn on us once our push for world domination begins, is there any reason we can't grind them under our heels like everyone else? As I recall, Hitler was not exactly known for loyalty to allies.

If they attack us, we should wipe those sorry b@stards off the face of the earth.

It seems like Hitler would be more likely to be the one declaring war on his allies, but he certainly would be willing to attack them if they declared war.

settler moves W, apparently it's coastal now
3950(1): found Berlin, start on warrior
worker irrigates
100% research on alphabet
3750(5): worker roads
IBT: Berlin warrior->warrior
3550(9): it's nice when growth doesn't require increasing lux
IBT: Berlin warrior->settler
3250(15): lux to 10%
3150(17): zzz
IBT: Berlin settler->warrior
3050(19): zzz
IBT: American scout comes into view
3000(20): America knows masonry, pottery, lacks warrior code
Notes: That fish lake is fresh
A few quick city site ideas below
Alphabet currently in 7, should end up being in 5

Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a better look at city placement before Easter break (but looking at the screenshot, one SW of the red dot might be a possibility too). Normally you want your 5 cities out quickly so you don't bother with a granary, but I'm wondering if it could be useful in this instance. Researching CoL->philo->republic is good; literature and currency would be good after that. Here's the roster (or you can change it around if you feel like it):
SimpleMonkey - up
conquer_dude - on deck
classical_hero
azzaman333
CoolioVonHoolio?
TimBentley

conquer_dude - on deck

I can play my five tomorrow (Friday) and then let Conquer Dude tear the place up.

Glad to see you thought of me.

1 problem, what if Rome and Japan combined are too big to allow for Domination, what would you guys do?

Get them to attack us of course.Tribute said:
Hey, I'm back! Haven't been here for a while, or even playing civ.
I lost interest in civ, and got interested more into knee hockey and real hockey too. But after a while I started to miss civ. I remembered having so much fun playing it, but when I tried to, I got bored and couldn't play it. Hearing any song I played while playing reminded me of civ, and I became sad. Smelling paint reminded me of civ, as we were reinovating (sp?) while I played a lot. I've tried many more times to reinterest myself in solo games, but they've all failed. So i'm gonna give myself one last shot in an SG.
Anyway, to make it short, I'd like to join if there's a spot .

What the heck, I'd jump all over the chance to pull Own on board a game. Can we make room for Ansar and Own, maybe by playing shorter turnsets? Our original host seems to be MIA, so I'd put it up to a group vote.
EDIT: Hey, our turnsets are only five each anyway, so why not?

Preflight Okay, probably the biggest choice I'm gonna make this set is where to send the settler. Pink Dot is tempting 'cuz of the cow and the fish, but I think I'd like to snag the hill due south of Red Dot first. That gives hills, floodplain, gold, and room to grow.
This is so much what I wouldn't do in a normal single-player game, where I'd be building much tighter, but if we've only got five cities to work with here, we gotta make 'em count. If we spread a little maybe we can get more than one lux.
I send the settler south.
IBT Lincoln would like to sell us Pottery for Warrior Code. We take the deal.
2950BC Explore some.
2900BC The same. Berlin finishes its warrior, who I keep at home, and starts a barracks.
2850BC Well, now we know where Abe is.
2800BC You know. Explore. Our western warrior finds some pink borders.
2750BC Build Leipzig. Set it to build a worker the same turn it goes to size two. Must have workers until we get slaves.
Oh, and our western warrior now sees that the lavender city is empty. Anyone for a sneak attack?
And here's the >>SAVE<<.
I leave it to the next better player to decide what to do with our start. I'd recommend expanding westward where the lux are. And burning our neighbor over there. Just a thought.
The roster (so far) is:
SimpleMonkey - second city of five and potential trouble
conquer_dude - UP!
classical_hero - on deck

CoolioVonHoolio?

Ansar the King??
Own??
