I said this before and saying this again, this game will probably not reach the industial age. The objective is to kill the other civs usign more diplomacy skills than civ skills. I realy doubt any other victory conditions will happen. Any 2 civs can take out 1.

So do we need to strongly ally with other civs ASAP in order to not get under the dogpile?

Exacly.
According to the rules, you may not speak about the game until you meet them in the game. But contact finding will probably be primordial in a 4 player game.
We must be the first ones to propose a dogpile on the other one(s).
Think of the game as survivor in the final 4 without the immunity chalenges. No body will want to be out, so they will ally with the first one who will promisse to kick their but.

I'm afraid you're all right Barbu. The boring thing is all teams will reason exactly the same and there will be no place for surprises....but if we built the ToA and...

I'm starting to lean to 20k if we go culture. Defending 1 city as opposed to every city is a heck of a lot easier.

...and with all those cities we can hold a small army and when attacked, we draft and...k-bang, we have 200 defenders

Assuming this game makes it to nationalism....I'll stop being critical. I think that barbu's comment about any 2 civs can wipe out a 3rd is the most dramatic statement that should be effecting our VC planning (or any other planning for that matter).

There's a guy who would like to know all the team leaders.
I wanted to write back to him our governmental philosophy with a little humour. Here's what I was thinking of writing.
Our tribal beliefs is all members of our council of chieftains are equal. Any communications can be transmitted through any one of our many great leaders. An autocracy does not work for so many idiots, losers and grumpy men. We are a simple people.
Our government consists of a council of great Celtic anarchist chieftains aka "CAC"!
You may recognize our honored "CAC symbol"
!
We as a nation hope one day we will advance to Celtic anarchist warlords and you may hear our war cry....CAW! CAW!
Ultimately, our goal as a nation is to known as a bunch of Celtic anarchist Deities aka CADS.
Is this too much? Whatcha think?

@ Whomp, I saw that thread and I don't think that he knows who he is dealing with. We're a bunch of smart***es. You ought to send him that via PM. Or better yet post it to his thread and let everyone else laugh at him too.

Heh, I saw that post before I came here. I got a laugh, but I'm used to you. He may think you're insane. 
...Which could infact be to our advantage when diplomacy comes around.

A favorite passage from the book "The Art of Possibility" by Benjamin Zander:
Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident prime minister admonishes him. "Peter," he says, "kindly remember rule number 6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes, and withdraws.
The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted yet again twenty minutes later by a hysterical woman gesticulating wildly, her hair flying. Again the intruder is greeted with the words: "Marie, please remember rule number 6." Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and an apology.
When the scene is repeated a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleague: "My dear friend, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of rule number 6?"
"Very simple," replies the resident prime minister. "Rule number 6 is 'Don't take yourself so g--damn seriously.'"
"Ah," says his visitor, "that is a fine rule." After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?"
"There aren't any."

Will get a copy of Zander asap. My man.
On the other hand I don't think how we are organized are any of their buissness. I've already started to dislike this provolution (uncommon for me) and would like to give him nothing but disinformation. I could always post a diclaimer telling about the revolution overthrowing the government (i.e. whole team) and the installation of Paris Hilton's hairdresser as supreme ruler. We'll see.
