Well, there's nothing in our variant rules that says we have to be nice, is there? We can even sneak attack the lavender city (I suspect it's Chinese) and keep a clean rep as long as we kill them all before they contact anyone else. Of course, we don't know if they've met anyone else yet, but it's at least possible that they're alone so far. On the other hand, if it is China, they're militaristic, so they may even have some archers to throw at us. Oooh, I'm scared.
It really is fun being evil in this one.
EDIT: conquer_dude, if you do decide to walk into this one, just move into their territory, apologize on the interturn if they complain (and they will complain) and then if they don't boot you, just move in and take it. If they pop military in there, I'd forget it unless it's a warrior and you think you can take him. Just my .02

lurker's comment: Take the city, thats what I always do, and boy does it help, if you take a city from the AI, they become wimpy and give you all their techs and all their cash, its a kind of exploit.
Also, it slows down their research and expansion.

Okay, yeah I'll take the city then. Oooooo God lavender people look out for me!

Wait a sec. Those people are chinese and that city is shanghai. I see it.

Yeah, and? I love beating up on Mao in the early game before he can get momentum. If there's nobody home in Shanghi, well, that's his problem, isn't it?

I have played early!
Pre Turn - Ceck on abe and he gives me a deal. I offer alpha for masonry and 14 gold.
Turn 1 - Move warrior (now named Bob) torwards Shanghai.
Turn 2 - Mao wines up a storm that we are in his land. Screw Mao. That city is auto razed. War are now at war with China.
Turn 3 - Berlin = Barracks --> Granary? --> Settler, and we can pump em' out!
I move Bob into China.
Turn 4 - Nothing
Turn 5 - Beijing is a pathetic size one.
Turn 6 - Beijing has a warrior as defence. I couldn't resist. Bob attacks....................................................................................................................................Bob dies. There was an archer underneath the warrior that screwed him up. Chinese warrior left with one hp. I would have won!
Turn 7 - This happens:
Turn 8 - Order in Berlin restored.
Turn 9 -
Turn 10 - Leipzig builds worker, switch to warrior.
Well, let's see what C_H can do with it.

Which hill? The one by former Shanghai?

PreTurn. I make peace with China because we just do not have enough troops to sustain a war with them.
I also change the granary to settler because since we can only have five cities, we will not need it. I lose two shields as a result.
Turn one.. We get a settler and we are moving him to the oasises. Hopefully we can box America in the corner beneth us.
Turn two to eight. General exploring and building up our empire. Also during these turn Berlin built a worker.
Turn nine. I build Hamburg.
Turn ten. Nothing.
Berlin will build another settler in 3 turns. Leipzig will build a warrior in ten turns and Hamburg will build a worker in nine turns. We still have two more places to settle so we must make it work right and get lucky. We need to try and grab all the incense to ourselves and this will make us have a monopoly on a resource.

In that case, i'd like to see a city built near the incense to the NW. Specifically, 1 SE of the incense, 1 SW of the mountain on the coast. When we have republic, it will be a high production city due to the number of hills, and the potential to irrigate most of the grasslands around the area.

If we can only have five cities we're going to get our @$$es kicked in republic, especially with being evil...azzaman333 said:

Pre-turn: Change settler build in Berlin to an Archer.
1 1910: Nothing Noteworthy
2 1870: Trade Alphabet to China for The Wheel
3 1830: Writing learnt, start on CoL.
4 1790: Boring Turn.
5 1750: Bored.
6 1725: I realise I burnt my pizza, but nothing interesting ingame happens.
7 1700: Berlin; Settler --> Archer. Settler is started towards the location i stated earlier in the thread.
8 1675: Boring, again.
9 1650: Leipzig; Warrior --> Barracks. Hamburg; Worker --> Curragh. Settler is roughly 3 turns away from my planned city location
10 1625: Start drawing fresh water towards Hamburg. Settler only 2 turns away, but it isnt on a go to order.
Red Circle is planned town, black arrow is the path i was planning him to take.

Dang it. Looks like China is getting in the way somehow (like always.)
Anyway, good turns, azzaman. Hope the pizza is good even though it's burnt.

Dang, I'm surprised China didn't cough up anything better than that in the peace treaty. Guess it's because the second city assault didn't work and so they didn't feel under threat anymore. Now we'll just have to kill all of them. That would take care of the westward expansion problem anyway.
Were are we putting our last city? If it goes on the former pink dot locale due west of the cow that could net us the two fresh fish if we culture expand quickly (something we can afford to do at this level, I think). But that might be a bit crowded for 5CC. Dunno. Does anyone see any better possibilities. I originally had doubts about hamburg, but that location gets us access to potential future saltpeter, I think. That's a good thing.
The roster (so far as I see it) is:
SimpleMonkey - second city of five and potential trouble
conquer_dude - committed our first war crimes
classical_hero - city three!
azzaman333 - burnt pizza
CoolioVonHoolio - MIA??
TimBentley - UP!
Ansar the King?? - invited in?
Own?? - likewise?
