I'd like to join in too, Jopa, and play as hannah the irin (lanun).
Sunday 19:00-22:00 is great for me.
I'm all for complete roleplaying.

I would like to play, but I think I am that bad that I lose before turn 100... Could someone take a video from the game? It would be nice to see how the game went

Well, the game has failed to make every weekend so far, so make of that what you will. If you're interested, log into one of the Hamachi rooms this afternoon and ask around.
Yeah, I found out (not only in this game, but in last month) that with more than 4 players you get severe stability issues and players unable to join so I don't have much hope, but we can try one more time.
Hopefully Beyond the Sword will improve some things. And remember we are playing vanilla Civ4, I think warlords are more stable, I played few 6-7 players games there, however after FfH warlords seem...blah

Perhaps you could explain to us your idea of reporting. I took some screen shots as asked. Of course, I don't exactly want to reveal too much since you all haven't met me in game yet

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, I don't want to reveal too much too.
You could edit screenshots to cut unwanted parts, such as minimap

I wrote a little story of the first king of the Luchuirp, as a report (here, I only tell general things, nothing, that would reveal too much from my point of view ) :
"The first thing I noticed was the sun warming my face. After centuries of cold and ice, this little thing made me feel happy and filled my heart with enthusiasm.
My name is Garrim Gyr and it is my task to lead the Luchuirp to a new life, full of peace and and wealth. But now, my people has to work to achieve the aims of our ancestors.
I saw our place and thought, that we could settle here, but the jungle in the south seemed threatening, so I decided to settle somewhere off this peril.
In the same year,we founded our capital, Ithralia, and from there on, our empire should florish for decades. While I organised the construction and protection of our city, some of our scouts already met other tribes, which also enjoyed the warmth of the sun. Soon they also spotted their empires.
First, they discovered the empireof human tribe, which looked not much different than the animals roaming in the wilderness. They called themselves Doviello but I doubted that they would be able to create an empire, which could stand the test of time as their cities reminded of a pile of wood and stone.
But not far away, our scouts spotted the next human empire. Other than the beastmen we met before, this people seemed more civilized even though their queen reminded me of a kraken. Not only the look but also the art of living of this people, Lanun as I am told, was causing this link. They lived near the water, which I supposed to be their home because many of them lived as fishermen or sailors.
Years of work passed, when suddenly I was informed, that an emissary of the Calabim empire has been seen at our borders. I talked to him and to his master. They became very suspicious to me because their behaviour and acting was other than I knew it from humans so far. Their skin was much paler and the eyes of the leader, Flauros was his name, showed a wisdom and power, which just didnt fit to his young look. I sensed a strange feeling, while talking to him. We should observe this empire carefully.
Again one decade passed by when our scouts scried the Balseraphian empire. As I contacted their leader, he turned out to be a child not more than 15 winters old. The chat with her was annoying. She had or pretended to have a confused mind, I am not sure about this. Anyway she became very cheeky and I soon left the snseless conversation because she already began to confuse me too. I know that the Luchuirp are very famous for their beautiful machinery and sculptures, but this doesnt mean that EVERYONE in our empire is a machine.
While I was away for this conversations, my people founded the city of Mutanbo. But soon something terrible happened:
The myth of an orc hero reached our empire and he should be near our empire! However, we finally researched the mysteries of the goddess being the mother of the dwarves and dedicated her a religion, which should be known as the Runes of the Kilmorph.
The next decades were very peaceful and only myths were reaching our empire. Three other religions should have been founded: Fellowship of Leaves, Octopus Overlords (which was adopted by the childish queen) and The Order.
Our scouts also found the Calabim empire, where they were attacked by a Lizerdman. But thanks to Kilmorph, he survived this assault. At the same time, the childish queen trained a clown called Loki, who should get on my nerves years later.
Yet, the scouts have been killed by a bloodthirsty bear two years later.
The message that Orthus, the barbarian king was heading for the Lanun empire relieved us and I decided to found the third city, Tiaran.
In my late years of reign, we heard that the Lanun empire has been destroyed by the barbarians. And now, before I will pass on the crown to my son, our craftsmen created a sculpture, which should be the best piece of work Ive seen in my life. They called him Barnaxus, which means the sculpture, which can learn. I gave Barnaxus an important mission and then I retired. I hope that my son will lead the Luchuirp to greater glory than it has now and I wish him the strength to lead our people through all perils."

Just to inform you everyone:

.
Which means, that my player position as the Luchuirp is open for this weekend. For those, who are interested, please contact me with a PM until 17:00 GMT. Sorry that I post this that late, but I I was informed about this a few minutes ago.
Anyway, I still have to find out, why my internet reconnects at midnight everytime.

Didn't Barnaxus return to the Luchuirp after they came back out after the Ice Age? (rather than being 'buillt' after the Ice Age)
Just a minor nitpick, interesting report.
