After the first round of the simultaneous multiplayer game between me, CornMaster, martin, fishheads, and a bit of palmer86, it's around 1000 BC and here is approx. what the powergraph looks like:

The big line-Me, CornMaster, and martin.
Small line-Fishheads, and computer controlled tribes. Yes! It's a close matchup between me, CornMaster, and martin.

Me-Romans
CornMaster-Canadians
martin-Vikings
Fishheads-English
pamler86-Egyptians.

Me, CM, and martin are are very close together. We have an almost verticle line, but I couldn't tell who was the strongest because the words were blocking part of the POWERgraph. I was leading for a while (couple hundred years), built colossus and hanging gardens, and was almost done lighthouse (martin finished first). CornMaster, Sioux, Fishheads, and I are all on one continent. Fishheads used to be on the island with the Vikings, but martin (vikings) took over many cities. CM saved him by giving him a city on the mainland.

First attack by martin against me was with an archer against a undefended frontier city, but my elephants killed his archer. Second attack was with 2 diplomats. One city was destroyed, but the other city I took back. Right now, I have stopped spreading and started to improve tiles and defenses. I also met the Sioux to the far West. However, I have a Phalanx unit fortified in a small corridor on a hill with elephants near by. I've drained over 200 gold and 3 techs from the Sioux by demanding tribute!

CornMaster, Fishheads, and I are allied against martin, but so far we are not attacking because we have other problems to deal with, such as civil disorder. We are cooperating very well by trading techs, maps, and lending money.

Palmer86 joined near the end, and became the Egyptians. I gave him at least 5-6 techs to get him up to speed.

We are continuing tommorrow at 8 PM EST.

What? you aren't the russians?

The russians and romans are practically the same.

UPDATE!
The Vikings surrendered!!!!
It all started when I launched an amphibious assaught on a Viking city on an island, and conquered it with only one elephant. The I send my 4 boatloads of catapults and elephants and took his capital and another large nearby city. By that time, martin had given up, and the AI took over. Now the AI sucks! I took another city, and another, and some of them were undefended! CornMaster came from the south shores and used his units to conquer some of the souther viking cities.

Now that the Vikings are gone, we are working on the AI, even though CornMaster and I cut the alliance. Tensions are mounting on the borders. I have stationed an elephant there and I'm building cities closer to his cities.
He is still allied with Fishheads, and after the AI civs die, they will attack me! War is going to break out soon! Who will the the victor? The last civ standing! Who knows?

Note: I took his 2 largest cities (who had wonders in them) in 1 turn! And since it was a simulation game, he liberated the city, and then I conquered it again. In the end, 5 citizens died in the one city.

Thats a pretty good game you got going there Vlad. But you should consider yourself lucky that our good friend Milamber is not playing.

I am disrespectful to Dirt! Can you not see that I am serious?

Sure, MrSparkle, or shall is say MILAMBER! The only reason why you won the other game is that you started with 2 settlers, on a exellent piece of land. Plus, I spent a lot of resources trying to help the other guy.
