I didn't really bother thinking about it. If city placement was that important, Tucume would of been destroyed and rebuilt 1S. Since finishing the game was not my objective (it rarely is), it didn't matter much.

Is it also not technically correct to assume that if Portugal is in your Spanish empire, then their Brazilian colonies are also required for this to be considered legit? 
Also, I'd post my Korean empire I did earlier, but I didn't save any images

This one was fairly easy. Here's Balochistan:
Bengal:
and The Deccan Plateau:
It is the second largest empire in the world:
Map used as a reference:
This was pretty straightforward. You can pretty much conquer India with your starting stack in the 600AD scenario, and you can just spam war and siege elephants for capturing Pakistan and such. India is so rich that you can run at almost 100% research all the time. I'm going to try the Ottomans next.

Ottomans didn't work out so well, so here's the German Empire in 1900AD. 
Here's Germany, with additional ahistorical Austrian and Danish possessions:
The German West African colonies of Kamerun, Togoland, and the historical Brandenburger colony of "Groß-Friedrichsburg":
Deutsch-Südwestafrika:
Deutsch-Ostafrika:
Deutsch-Neuguinea:
I even managed to nab the failed IRL settlement of "Klein Curaçao" in Deutsche Karibik:
Qingdao doesn't even exist in this game, so I felt alright about not having to steal land from China (who is solid and controls nearly all of East Asia).

I am thinking of trying one of these - so are we allowed to control ahistorical land(for eg. Denver and Chicago as any civ other than France and America)?
Well, the 2 ahistorical cases we had were: Vienna for Germany, and Lisbon for Spain. These cases have 3 similar characteristics:
-They have both been a part of the historical empire for a moment (Portugal was a part of the Iberian Union and Austria was an important part of the Third Reich).
-A similar culture (Portuguese/Spanish, German/Austrian)
-A geographical proximity for the core part of the empire
So if Denver and Chicago respond to those are criteria, go on

I meant completely ahistorical (Denver as China etc), just for the extra bonuses.
Well... no.
(Especially if you're China. I mean, you already have a fabulous land.)

Just an example. (Who would want to go there as China?)

Uh, me, since it's the best production spot in the game?
I even settle that spot when running City States. Yes, without getting the specialist bonus and while getting hit by a -3 city penalty.

But it really starts becoming productive only after 1700, and by that time there's not much time left for your UHV.

Oh, right, I barely play UHV anyway unless for the challenge threads.
Doing ahistorical things is much more fun

I've been doing the same thing recently. Doing all UHV's gets repetitive after a point.Oh, right, I barely play UHV anyway unless for the challenge threads.

BTW, what image uploading service do you guys use? I used to use Imageshack but they now require registration.

Where's French Dalmatia?
I always use CivFanatics itself by the way.
I was actually going to take Budapest before razing Hamburg, but then it would extend too much.
And use CFC means attach pics, right?
