I agree, no hurry. At this point, it looks like all you need to do is settle and wait for borders to pop, so we've got plenty of time.
Anyway, good luck too. Don't assault any chamber maids, and you'll be alright.
AlanH,
Team T'dr'wh at no't has finished. I've uploaded the "just one more turn" save to the server. If you could let me know that everything got submitted okay I'd appreciate it!
Cheers,

quite surprising to read what other teams did/think
some points i really start to wonder about:
1. first thing i heard when reading the glh is given to an ai was:
ok, so the build the glh race turns into a capture the glh race... ...and if i remember rigth that was the principal thougth of most teammembers here. strange that the other teams didnt think along this line (really strange, if not to say weird)
2. given the task + level building any wonder that doesnt directly speed up teching or has a really great roi rate (all wonders except of oracle and, if the game might have lasted a bit longer, moai + colossus) are a waist.
3. the mids are usually a hammer grave. even when running a SE its in most times better to focus on growth instead. there are only some rare cases where the mids are actually worth it...
4. again, after juging our game i would even say building the glh ourselves would have slowed us down... ...our game was basically along this line:
selfresearch towards math, get the oracle, get bronze meanwhile, pick construction -> total war. cant see how even building the glh could have speeded this up... ...quite on the contrary, it would have slowed things imho
5. innitially i thought about a beeline guilds-knights to have a 2move unit, but given the early date you can start to conquer with cata + xy, i now doubt there is a viable way to compete with that... ...starting a war 20 turns earlier is a lot of advantage...
