Here is the replay:

The video might go a little slow as it takes a lot of CPU time when making such a video.
I was the Celts (dark green) and Markstar, surprise, the Iroquois (dark purple). Difficulty: emperor. Map: random.
He said his start was oh so bad, which can be seen as well, but I didn't do so well either: I had to change production of granary to temple before I even built one settler because otherwise barbarians would've destroyed the production. He got himself at war with every civ but one, because he never gave them what they asked for. At a certain point, where I thought he wouldn't bother me, because he had his hands full on the other civs, he attacked me too. The force he then showed was beyond my imagination considering the fact that he had only two cities.
The biggest reason why he won after all was because he got his mounted warriors and prevented that I'd get my gallic swordmen (The resources were coincidentally perfectly located: it was Salamanca-horses-iron-Entremont.) and also because I underestimated the force he had available for me.
Next time, Markstar, I like to be the Iroquois, while you may play as Hittites or something. [tongue] Perhaps then I have a small chance of success. This game brought me an inferiority complex, since you whined about how bad you played and I still lost. [rolleyes]
About simultaneous: I really disliked it once we started piddling with our fighting units. I really want to save and switch to turn based once we start to have war.
