Yep, Thanks for the interest Grahamiam.
The city placement was total crack, but the first turn that I played c4 was this game, and I didn't know how to bring up the resource icons. (Needless to say, that is now remedied, see above pic).
The plains hill with the sugar and the cow and the coast is where I am planning on settling.
I built the scout by hand, and would use a chop to get a worker out ASAP. In MP games, leaving a forest next to your capitol is akin to suicide, at least the way I intend to play.
I have met grs, and Vicky. The issue at hand is that both are financial, so pillaging them in the classical era is a heck of a good idea in my book.

Well, here is the next update here.

I planted the second city and am getting the axes out now.

I will be going hard after Vicky here in about 15 turns. (She has no metals, boohoo)

I will plant 2 more cities, 1 towards vicky, 1 to get copper.

It has been a long time since I updated this spoiler.

The game is going at about 5 turns a week, so not a whole ton has happened.

Key points.
1) I found everyone but Darkness.
2) I built Stonehenge
3) I have the Oracle half built right now, will chop to completion in 3 turns when writing finishes.
4) Barbs suck, I really need to get me some archers. After the Oracle situation, archer is my next tech.

Alrighty,
Big Changes in Romeoland.
I got the oracle through a combination of chops and whips. I had to really dance around some barb warriors, and my corn got pillaged, but I founded Kung Fu (In my city near Vicky, making it an unbelievably awesome staging point.)

My next plans involve getting out 2-4 archers, 2 new cities, 1 will grap sheep, copper and wine, the other rice, ponies and phants. After I have 5 cities up, warpath time!!!!

I really don't like the barbs but am doing my best to work around them here.

In my capitol, I will try and make it Kung Fu, build a temple and a library, and run some specialists to get 2-3 quick Great People.

When are you gonna do some kung fu fighting? You know everybody will be

(you had it coming with the kung fu reference, and the temple, and the warpath time reference)

Major news:
1) I met everyone, traded like a madman.
2) GRS, whom I considered my greatest threat retired and was replaced by Barbu. Barbu signed a peace treaty with me that lasts until Darkness is destroyed. Barbu may have overestimated my war making ability at the time of the pact, but probably not my desire.
3) I have spread Kung-Fu far and wide, allowing me to see all of Vicky's cities, most of Darkness's and a handful of others.
4) I have built many wonders in Halls of Monte, and I am whoring Great people both there and in my Kung Fu holy city
5) I have been running Max research and making money ( up to 70 gpt at one point). I love shrines!! Perhaps though, they are too powerful, and should receive a little nerfing in the next expansion.
6) I have ignored the demographics screen and tried to make everything happen with the limited resources I have. (kind of like my job, but way more fun)
7) I got to cavalry before Vicky got gunpowder. Needless to say, she is in the process of donating most of her empire to me.

Another update with no pictures.

1st on the diplomatic front. I have signed a peace treaty with Barbu that will last until darkness is destroyed. This will let me warmonger against what I believe is my biggest military threat.

2nd on the war front, I have captured all but 2 of vickys cities. I gave her a short repreive that will allow me to consolidate.

3rd on the civics front, I am in mercantilism with representation. I am also in pacifism. I used a GE to rush the SoL, allowing a double whammy on the specialists. I now have to make sure I have temples everywhere as well as I have angkor wat. This is a beautiful combo, allowing me to tech like a freak and not show up on the demo screen.
