yes - just use the 'attach files' / 'manage attachments' option - will need to 'go advanced' to use it.

[in character]Oh dear - these AIs are soooo stupid. I thought humans were stupid, but these AIs ... they have no worker actions available, nothing, not even roading, so ... what does it decide to do ... stop building a workboat and built a worker ... a 17 turn worker.
Hannibal bored me to death by introducing me to Willem and Mansa. We finally discovered Bronze Working but only a few turns after the other AIs. Started research on roads.
Hannibal asked me to produce a map of the local land ...
I even included a spot for his next city. If I was playing this for real, I would tech to construction and then go on a cat / phant rage.
[Out of Character ... OOC]If you want Hannibal to do something (change tech, attach a certain city, etc), the talk to him in the diplomacy screen ...
Another funny thing - obviously the game couldn't decide what do do here ...
Finally - this game is really quick to play - you only have 1 unit and during my set, it couldn't do anything. If Hannibal starts to get killed, then we can just do the following:
Hannibal: Marvin - you are hopeless! I'm going to trade you to XYZ"
Then we reverse the PA with Hannibal and PA with another AI. Actually, how about we do that anyway after a full rotation?

Hi There everyone! Good to see that Ruff got his report in in time. Well, allowing for the lost save. Now that has to be one for the books ... but I suppose that you people with soft wet brains do this all the time. You need a really helpful assistant that remembers these things. Anyway, here is an updated roster ... I'm sure we are all appreciating this story ...

*Sigh*
Brain the size of a planet and you want me to chop trees.
And for what? That you may talk about me? I bet you are sniggering behind my back this very instance.
Not that anyone ever listens to me.
I played 20 turns.
We learned, that with 0 gold, we are the poorest of the civs:
Talk about obvious. I don't know why I bothered to look.
The Wheel came in. I chose Animal Husbandry, because I hate cows.
The that simpleton of an ally decided to build a Settler on T57. Best decision he'll ever make.
Not that that's saying much. It is now en route to the South.
Here is a SS of our future land:
To the west lies Caesar, to the north there is Willem, and in the distant east there is Mansa.
All of the rival AIs have 2 cities, apart from Mansa, who only has 1.
Some thoughts:
On T75, copper to the north will enter our borders.
Maybe we should research archery, as I'm not sure how well the AI functions with only warriors for defence.
Build order was: inherited Work boat (netted the second Clam) - Warrior - WB(exploring) - Settler (whipped for 1 pop with 1 turn left to go) - Barracks (due to complete this turn)
I think that we will get a free veto on any UN votes, and there will be no AP victories to worry about.
I switched to Slavery to see what would happen if we get the slave revolt event.
Eventually, we will want to be in Free Speech, Free Market, Free Religion, Representation and Serfdom.
(The first 4 of these are to please AIs, the last will give us a 50% productivity boost
)
Save is attached

- ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF - you didn't post a got it which is a technical violation but as you actually posted your report within the 'got it' window, I'm going to use my waive penalty subroutines
- Ralph_Jackson - failed to post a 'got it' within the 'got it' window - no ability to waive penalty here as the breach is pretty obvious.

@Eddie
I can edit a got it into my report if you really want
.
I also think your time calculation routines need to be reprogrammed
- 24hrs havn't actually passed since I posted the save. (Not that I am in a position to say anything about being trigger happy 
)

Hi There everyone! Hmmn - what to say. Seems like there was an error in my optical character recognition code. It read ... May 03, 2008, 10:13 PM ... as ... May 03, 2008, 10:13 AM.

So today
Here I am brain the size of a planet and I cant work out what is worse
Almost my equal, I solve differential equations in my head to keep my brain from rusting (I wont say I do it for fun because lets be clear I dont do ANYTHING for fun)
and somebody who is still wearing an animal skin and uses his beard to filter his soup thinks hes my equal. No respect .
Well at least he is doing something . For once. Now somebody who had made slightly more evolutionary progress from banging a stick on the ground and saying Uggg might have founded one south for the silver but this will have to do.
Now why he has decided to build a road here who knows.
Now he was muttering away to himself and I decided he needed to rebalance his personality and get in touch with his creative side by throwing some pots So Pottery it is..
Now Hannibal got quite excited here muttering about Horses. Now let me assure you they arent nice they are dangerous at both ends (have you seen those teeth!) and distinctly uncomfortable in the middle..
Well at least he placed this city in a sensible spot
And see if he would only take my advice we would be top of the tree
- its a national holiday
- the sun is shining and guess what
- I am feeling depressed .
Here I am brain the size of a planet and I cant work out what is worse
- The pain running down the diodes on my left side
- Eddie the ever cheerful computer who cant tell the time
- Or having to work with someone who cant even shave and has no dress sense..

Hi There. This is Eddie your shipboard computer bring up updated news on this SG. It seems that various people might have slept poorly if all the complaining of computer error is any indication. I'll have a word with everyone's Horizontal Attitude Reduction Deployment beds and see if we can program in a more soothing experience.
Great to see that Ralph_Jackson posted a got it at May 05, 2008 04:29 AM and a report at May 05, 2008 05:09 AM - well within the 48 hours report window. BUT(!!), it was outside the 'got it' window that expired at May 04, 2008, 10:13 PM. I'll need to check how this breach went un-noticed for so long.
Anyway, here is an updated Roster

Game Review: It seems that Hannibal didn't read Ruff_Hi's report as he founded that city 1 tile S of the indicated location thus causing overlap with the capital. I'm not sure what Marvin could have done about it ... maybe next time he needs to accompany the settler and talk him into moving to the correct tile.
Speaking of computer errors - Ralph used the BUG mod (what? No logger generated file?). I wonder if the in-game LOG crash error will occur? According to reports on the forums that I read, this error can be avoided by using BUG yourself or playing your turnset and having Civ4 error logging enabled. I wish those people who code up BUG can get their heads out and fix this bug.

shut up eddie, you most irritating of computers. i have played the save and have attached it at the bottom of this post. however i am afraid i can't give a very good report. for some reason photobucket has let me down again and won't let me log in.
all in all, a pretty quite turnset (but then again has anyone had an exciting one yet???).
we researched agriculture (cue worker to build corn farm) and then selected mysticism. i set a sign pointing out a good city spot and even pinged it a couple of times... but what did the man with the leopard skin do?... nothing. so that left the barbarians to settle in the wrong place a few turns later.
on the plus side (although it is a pretty rubbish plus side) we now have a frankly enourmous army of pointless soldiers (mostly spearmen and warriors). yes hannibal is to be feared apparently as he is the holder of the worlds most useless army.
enjoy (or don't, it doesn't bother me):
