So I load up a new game, and I see a pretty good production start. 3 elephants, pigs, an oasis, and 5 or 6 plains hills in the BFC (plus fresh water if you settle in place).
Better yet, when I popped a hut for a map, Hammurabi turns out to be only 10 tiles or so away. So I figure I'd try out a warrior rush, but it failed miserably. His fortified warriors were barely being scratched, and once he got his bowmen and started generating Great Generals, it was over. For every two warriors I'd throw at him, I'd only take off .1 or .2 HP.
So I'd like to see how you warmongers out there do it. The only rule is to play as you normally would until you find Hammurabi. But once you lay eyes on his territory, you have to mobilize immediately. If the hut doesn't reveal his location, it's in the spoiler below.
I'd like to see how a warrior rush should be done!
Difficulty is Noble, normal speed.

Spoiler :
Hammurabi is about 10 tiles north and two or three west of the settler's initial location.
