I finally felt that I was far enough along to check out this topic.
I am now up to 700AD, just changed to republic (which really killed my plans to chomp the british) and am getting foothold on the Celt contient. I have not had contact with anyone else so far. I don't remeber my stats right now, but I have around 25 cities on my home contient.
BTW, the Vikings went early for me. They killed themselves actually. I had an archer (my big army at the time) that found Tronheim, ducked around it, found a hut that gave another archer. The vikings moved a warrior up to it, so I tried to back both of them out. In doing so I got trapped next to Trondheim with both archers and fortified. Then they sneak attacked me with an archer (my god did I freak when I saw that) and I won. Then he attacked again with a warrior, leaving Trondheim EMPTY. I occupied it next turn with my one sliver of red archer. A couple of turns later, both archers found his second city and attacked it. I kiiled the warrior, which knocked it down to a 1. I waited a turn or two for it to go back up to a 2 then occupied it. End of the vikings. The English also killed the Babs around that time.
If I had lost to that first archer attack, this would be a very different game right now.

I always wanted to be a professional procrastinator, but I just never got around to it.
