of course I can! 
I'm conquering about a city per turn, so 9 turns should be plenty.
The healing turn
I have no fresh troops to move in order to conquer cities - but I'll do next turn.
And I'm preparing to send some Cavalry to conquer the Exile Island.
Zulu turn: Nothing! lol
And it isn't just Caesar and Shaka! The USA declared war on Chinese!
Persepolis is mine (the city south of Zimbabwe) and I close the southern front. Now it's all north, with 4 cities to conquer (plus the Mongolian city).
Zulu turn: They try to sink one of my Galleons with two galleys. No way.

2088
I conquer Madrid, north of London. 3 cities to go!
My galleon is loaded with 4 cavalries. Hope it is plenty to conquer the whole Exile Island.
ZULU TRIP: END TURN 8
Zulu turn: Absolutely and utterly nothing. I scared Shaka enough, I think.
2090
I conquer Sparta, north of Bapedi. Now it's just Osaka and Barcelona.
ZULU TRIP: END TURN 9
Zulu turn: Just defending.
2092
I weaken both Osaka and Barcelona, the last 2 Zulu cities, without conquering them. Out of full-healed cavalry. Arg.
My galleon reached the Exile Island and disembarked. And CRAP! That 2 tiled little island occupied by the egyptian city of Heliopolis is TOTALLY OCCUPIED by Egyptians and Chinese troops. That means I have no way to land there, if not with amphibious units, but I am not Viking nor I have marines, so I am lost. The only way is to make Egypt or China declare war on them, but my reputation reached bottom and I don't think they are gonna accept a deal like that.
ZULU TRIP: END TURN 10
Zulu turn: who? the Zulu? Ummm nothing.
And Cleo tells me I am a warmongering fool (as I didn't know that, uh?) that has to move his troops out of her 'land' or be the responsible of a bloodbath (which blood would come all from her). Since I would never surrender to a weak country AND if I tell my troops to move automatically they would sink, as there is no space there, I declare war on Cleo. Wow.
2094
The good news: I destroyed the Zulus! YAY!
The bad news: I won't be able to conquer the Exile Island within my personal game ending, on 2100. That #%$& Chinese troop on the 2 tiled island makes me unable to disembark my troops.
Well! The story is quickly coming to an end. Smashed the Zulu, caught Shaka with his pants down (no joking lol), going to destroy the Mongolian Niagara Falls, going to occupy and raze the Exile Island, NOT going to end the game within 2100. I have to research Marines and disembark with an amphibious assault to Heliopolis in order to end the game.
But we could consider this ended, couldn't we?
ZULU TRIP: END TRIP!

With the Zulus destroyed, I pratically ended my big war.
On 2096 I destroy the Mongolians and the Americans.
On 2098 I attack the Chinese city of Canton but it stands the assault.
On 2100 I destroy the Chinese so that NOW I can land on the 2-tiled Island.
On 2102 I land--oh, great. I can't land, again.
On 2112 the worker who occupied that tile FINALLY finished his work and came back home. And I can finally disembark my troops.
On 2116 I conquer the Egyptians and END THE GAME!
Time to say again...

Oh and for the statistic lovers (like me )
heh, sharing a 48x48 piece of land with a whole bunch of other civilizations trying to wipe you out in order to make *a bit* of spaces, that's already a lot.
thank you all who followed this story! I hope you all shared the fun I had smashing those overwhelming barbarians (too many to name all of them... Russians... Aztecs...) and surviving to the early wars of this game. I had a lot of fun reaching the top places on the scoreboard, entertaining myself with the pictures, knowing I was going to DESTROY those ZULU even if the RNG always helped those damn IMPIS, making up free land on this carnage of 18 civilization on a 48x48 map and not knowing even to the last if I was able to beat my time limit, a continuous challenge where my reputation was higly under pressure. All of that and
I have
to go
on Deity!
I will start another story soon. Apart from the difficulty level, I'm thinking about making it again so crowded (I had, as you see, difficulties with reaching high tech within time limit) or make a whole new set of... settings lol.
EDIT: This is the PTW version.

@guns: thanks!
@Own: good idea. But, you see, I like putting a lot of civs on my games, so 2 is a bit too low. Maybe a super-huge map with 3 opponents, it would give even more deepness (say, two superpowers declare war on me, etc...).
And about Conquest, I am not planning to get it, since in a few turns Civ IV will be out, so I don't get the point of having an expansion which doesn't give me so much of new.
EDIT:
lol!
I meant months lol, that's too much Civ in my head these days.

thanks! Of course, I am planning to start another story very soon.
I need tips on how to make the map - big, very big, crowded, number of players, some tweaks to be applied, etc.
The only two things clear:
- I'll play as Romans
- I'll play with Deity difficulty.

lol oh man, 31-23 is damn too much. Plus I just made a crowded map, I was thinking on something different.
I think I'll make a big map, like 0wn said.
