Well, got my ass handed to me...

That stinking Musa Masa guy launched a rocket into outer space!

Played my first game after the tue on Prince level. The world was very stable politically which made tech advance a little slower than in reality. As all 7 civs were inthe game. Made friends with my neighbors (egypt) early off, but then thinking back that might have been a mistake since I could have kicked her butt and taken all that land. Not sure exactly why I was so behind (4th place) but will figure itout.

I was rated DAN QUAYLE at the end... pitiful.

Had one war with China but couldn't get anywhere really... never managed my units quite right. There's a whole lot more under the hood to this game.

Came 75 votes from winning UN victory... GR! But I'd made 2 enemies who wouldn't take ALL my techs as bribes as enough peace building to vote for me...

My first game went better (played on noble)

ALthough i didn't win either

One turn after i built the UN, russia won the space race. And to add to the disgrace, i lost the UN vote by 30 votes.

I would of won the Score victory easily in 30 more turns... alas that didn't happen though :0

History will remember me as the third from the bottom

My first game ended like dearmad's. Except I was playing Masa Musa.

It was only on Chieftain though. I wanted to give myself an easy game to learn the interface / religion stuff. Glad I did too, because I was doing religion all wrong for the first few millenia. By the time I figured out that a single city could have 7 religions I was well on my way to researching Scientific Method and obsoleting Monasteries for my 2 non-state religions.

I got rated at "Winston Churchill". I'd like to thank my excellent starting position and the free Nomadic Settler for my victory. Between my first three cities, I was able to block off 1/4 of my continent from my enemies, allowing me to build 8 more cities at my leisure.

Dan Quayle is back?

Yep. The AI will concentrate on the space race now, and can't always be bought at the UN.

Ya, its pretty hilarious, at the end if you are the very bottom of the points scale you are a leader like Dan Quayle.

Assimilation is inevitable.

Resistance is futile.
