I wouldn't say I was comfortable with the start, but the terrain was so good that I wouldn't want to give it up unless hope was lost. I see ways we can survive, and more importantly, someone else may it play better than me.

You could try the oposite too.. army only AW.. that is no normal units are allowed inside enemy borders (only neutral and your own territory)LKendter said:

I tried to think of some.
AW on an archipelago map with the 7 seafaring civs another. demigod or deity.
AWM + 100k on pangaea. SCI or REL civ.
AWE + space, continents.

Yeah, that's true. I was thinking about the games when you are behind in tech and have to steal and sabotage your way up to complete the spaceship first. I imagine this situation is hard to engineer to happen in the game settings though, unless it was demigod?

last time I was lurking the AWE game without armies, I would like to play such a variant, pangaea or continents?

okay, 4 more:
AWM Sengoku scenario
AWM Middle Ages scenario
AWR or AWM, tiny or small map with 8-16 rivals
AWE Regicide

AWM Middle Ages scenario

AWE Regicide
I think LK is overestimating himself by playing without armies.
I did take a look at LK106-1350AD and I was very disappointed
by the AI performance.According to my 2 Dutch AWE games at
least 1 AI entered the Modern Times around 1540 AD.
LK106 didn't have any Scientific civs,play with 7 of them and
you'll be playing a total different game.
Also try to play without choke points.
Armies are need to get rid of the enemies modern units.
It makes a lot difference if a single cavalry or a cavalry army
tries to kill mechanized armor.The losses will be sky high at the end.

AWE varies greatly from relatively easy to impossible based on the initial start. If one didn't play AWE because one may get a start that you might lose, then you would never play AWE.
If I am not mistaken, the reason Lee plays a number of starting turns is precisely for the reason of pruning out the "impossible to win" scenarios.
I am definitely interested in playing another army-less AW game. I will sign up for it. The last one was one of the closest wins I have played in. My schedule is a bit full, but I would make room for that variant.

I had multiple false starts with AW. I already was found by another civ with one initial warrior and outright lost. Try getting squeezed by Germany and Persia with starting spearman. By the time I had any archers the empire was pillaged to death.
Of course, some very nasty games still slip through due to the nature of AW. LK106 almost collapsed. The previous LK series AW without armies game had the UN under construction by the AI when the win happened. I think you recall how close GR6 was!
Interested in AWE, no armies:

If at least one more is interested, I will start LK108.
I'm interested, but don't know if I'm qualified. If a game with this same variant me the legenary games, 
. I have killed AWM, and did pretty good on my first and only AWE attempt (didn't lose, was actually ina a winning position, just stopped playing). I've yet to play an SG with you, LK.

That was a horrible typo. I meant to say, "A game with the same variant made it to the legendary games, so I don't know if I'm qualified." That was embarrassing.Edit: I figured out what happened. My keyboard hasn't been working well lately, so the A-D in made got left out.
