Since it looks highly unlikely that I shall receive the only succession game I'm involved in before Christmas while I've got loads of Civ time on my hands every evening, I decided to launch another OCC comparison. 
This ought to keep me out of mischief in that time though. It all came about as a result of my downloading Underdark to take home, and it not working properly.
So, I thought of playing a quick OCC and put some starts together. This baby (about the twenty fifth) is very promising, and should provoke some interesting comparisons between playing styles. 
We're the Celts, and start off on a 4-special location:
hidden silk, coal, buffalo and whale if I recall correctly.
I haven't got a screenshot of the start, but there's a hut next to our two settlers, and a far amount of river.
Intriguingly, though, there is another 4-special site a little further north. This shares the hidden silk and the whale, but also offers two fish. You have the choice of the improved production possibilities of the southerly site, and the quicker start, or of the better growth potential and greater trade of the northerly site. The northerly site would allow a harbour and boats for those who want to trade further afield, but this must be held against the poor production of all the sea squares. I'm afraid that I can't remember whether we start with any techs. Maybe someone could open the save and tell me.
I haven't played this yet, so we're all starting off level.
Just submit as and when you want, with the usual information.
Good luck!
