I'd say its a good idea to play on Emperor, and use an interesting Civ, like the mongols.

Hey JB how's it going? If you don't mind I'll keep an eye on this one and offer some comments from time to time.

Emperor's good. I just won my first monarch game 
But the game gets so tedious when all you do is move units and set build queues! How long will turnsets be?

Hopefully 20 for the first set, then 10 for all turn sets after that. If the game slows enough, then 5 turns per set.

Ok, Emperor and Mongols is perfect.

At Emperor this is not a training game for others but a training game for me. I'll take all the pointers you have to offer Gator.
I'll toss up the saves this evening. The order is simply the order I pasted names into the list. If anyone has a preference let me know. I'm not thrilled about taking the first 20 but I'll consider it a growth experience.
Man, I was all set to show a group of newbs my prowess at playing a Regent game and now I get to show a group of vets my newb-ness. This is going to be interesting.
Take a look at this Mongol Emperor win. It was by far the highest score I (edit: a team I have been a part of...) have ever racked up.

lurker's comment: Aw, jb, I'm sorry if you thought my comments were a signup. I can only manage one game at a time, and I have a Mongol Emperor 100k culture "no research" game going right now, and I'm counting on my team mates to teach me how to do it. I'll just lurk and learn on this one, thank you.

@gmaharriet, actually, you mentioned that previously. I just wasn't paying attention.
Have a good SG.

OK, I'm losing my mind. I know there's a Mongol game out there were we finished w/ a score over 9000. It was nuts. Anyway, I thought it was a BnH game but I'm off my rocker this evening.Mr David said:I took a look at BNH01, it was a Portugal arch game.
I'm now on a quest to find a remnant of this beast.

Your play in the R&L games was good, you can handle this. Speaking of newb, I'm still trying to find enough time to sit and log some cIV play. To date I have only played 1 complete solo game and that was the 1st GOTM.

If you check my sig, you'll know what level i am at. If you want, i'll take the first 20...

Any prefs on the barbs?
I'm voting for none or roaming.
BTW, all random opps, no cultural link, no SGL's. Kewl?

I quite like start #4.

Saves 4 and 5 are obviously the easiest. But 3 looks also nice. The floodplains with a wheat and the grasslands make it good. The plains at the north are not very good, but...
Save 1 looks REALLY hard. But I still see wines and sugar in that only plains and desert start. Also we have fresh water.
I don't know what to choose, I'll let the others decide.

#4 isnt really that easy, since (AFAIK) it is a shield porr location until we mine the hills and mountain, which we wont want to do for a while. And we wont have much food until we learn Repulic.

Yes, but we'll get a forest or two when the borders will expand. We also have gold and fish and fresh water.
I am newbie to Conquests, so I don't know what traits Mongolia has (if I get up in the middle of the night and somebody asks me what traits a Vanilla civ has, I'll answer correctly without looking at the Civilopedia). Is it Expansionist? (that goodie hut at Emperor on a not Expansionist civ could be a great disadvantage.

That goody hut wouldnt make a differnce because if a town is built immediately next to a goody, you cant get barbs. We have the same traits as the Zulu (Militaristic and Expansionist).
