Like I say, I was playing the game, then I toke a look at this thread, so it was very brief look, and I was wrong about everything...lol. This why I made a question, and not a comment.
Interesting Screenshots

- Start date
I think I got a scout maybe twice in 4 years, but I rember doing it.

Talk about close quarters! I thought there was something in the game that prevented two civs from starting right next to each other. This was on a huge map with the standard number of civs.

cool, is this at regent and below? Build a warrior first and go after them right away...

i would say make the worker join the city, and try to hurry an impi, because im pretty sure that Zulu start out w/ Bronze Working
i was almost certain there was too... are you sure that isn't a mod? Get the World Seed from it, and check it out on the Editor. If there are 2 starting locations right next to each other, than a mistake happened

Too bad. You could try an archer. If you don't get India soon, you'll get CXC'd!
You would have to get them on turn zero (4000 BC), since they'll move a square away on turn zero, since they can't build a city right next to your city. What I would suggest in this case is:
Turn 0:
Build Zimbabwe, join worker to city, rush warrior.
IBT:
Indian Settler/Worker moves a tile.
Zimbabwe: Warrior->Worker
Turn 1:
Move Warrior 1 tile West.
IBT:
India builds Delhi.
Turn 2:
Trade for India's Starting techs for yours and as much gold as you need to pay them. Declare war on India, attack undefended Delhi with Warrior. City is destroyed and you have killed a civ in 3900 BC.

I know on larger maps with more civs, colors sometimes get mixed up, but this really got me confused.
Purple Russians. I was just sailing on my curragh, and I spot purple borders, I expected Vikings or Iroquis, but not Russians. It's going to be a little confusing during the game, too, since the Vikings have the same city graphic, European.

China and Arabs.
Actually, their two colors are not EXACTLY the same, but they are so similar that the human eye can't tell the difference.
@Ansar: Well, you have Color Blind Help enabled, so you can just look at the writing.
Plus, you now know the following nations are in the game:
Carthage
Byzantines, or a Green civ and Japan
A Red Civ
An Orange Civ
A Yellow Civ
A Blue Civ
And a Magenta Civ
You would also know of the existance of a Light Blue Civ, but you must already know that...
I once had Russia as Grey on the Huge Earth Map.

Really? Interesting.
Thanks, choxorn.
Well, they were the last civ to meet.
Carthage and Byzantines were in the game. Carthage got brown, since he couldn't get dark red because of Byzantines, so Russia got stuck with a different color.

haha... i cut down the quote to just that... and then i read it to myself and had a good laugh...
but that wasn't the point of this post
try thinking about
Yellow Russians
Tanish? Byzantines
Light Pink Sumerians (like China's 2nd default)
that game threw me off sooooo much!!! i kept thinking Russia was Egypt, Byzantines were Dutch, and Sumeria was China, and i think i had all of them in that game besides Egypt

You're right. I still haven't met Korea. (I know they're in the game because of F11)

This doesn't work because the game was on Emperor. That means that once Dehli is built, a bunch of Indian warriors suddenly appear there because of the AI start bonuses.

Well now, let's not get ahead of ourselves...
