AI headstart succession game?

[John-SJ]

Here is the history of my reign, from 1360 to 1520 AD.

1360 - Our diplomat (inadvertantly) discovered a barbarian camp near the city of Gloucester. From the outside it looked like just another empty hut.
1400 - Diplomat steals Leadership from Kazan
1440 - Chemistry discovered, working on Explosives.
1500 - Barbarians near Gloucester have been put down with no loss of life or population reduction.
1520 - The reign of King John-SJ ends.
The Gems caravan heading toward Reading is still engaged in it's monumental task and we are on the verge of discovering Explosives. All in all, it's been a relatively peaceful reign.

Kabul and Kazan have had techs stolen from them.

In the year 1530, kcbob the Dimwitted came to power in the land of Head Start. While his reign began inauspiciously with Explosives being discovered, Metallurgy chosen as the next research topic, and advanced tribes of Cremona and Cannae being found, in his 40th year he lost complete control of his mental capacities.

Convincing himself that Crusaders were the wave of the future (but in reality dreaming of an impossible dream, a great chapel by the artist Michaelangelo), kcbob chose Monotheism as the next research topic. The people were dumbfounded. Why waste such an important decision without the benefit of using a lifeline??? Then again, what the heck is a lifeline in 1570 AD?

In an effort to redeem himself to the good graces of the people, kcbob spent the next 40 years preparing a great caravan. A super caravan. The mother of all caravans. And so it was that in 1600, the caravel laden with three caravan, three caravan desired by the kingdoms of the east, set sail. Whether it reaches its ultimate destination only time will tell.

And in one last giant leap for mankind (and one small leap for kcbob), the cities of Capua and New Kansas City were founded. Perfect in location, rich with natural resources, these towns will forever be a legacy to the reign of kcbob.

They’d better be for in 1610, just 10 short years before his exit in disgrace, in the same year in which the folly of Monotheism was discovered and Physics chosen for the future… the Mongols attacked. Curse all Mongols!

Kcbob, "Dimwitted" is sure to be an exageration, but I haven't received the game yet.

Hmmmm?? I'll check when I get home tonite. Normally I send myself a copy at work just in case this very thing happens. Of course, I didn't do that the first time I need to.

My bad! Fat finger placed an extra letter in your email address, Julius. Sorry. I'll get it out when I get home.

1630 Boy this game looks strange. 1640 AD, we discover physics, steam engine next. Many technologies look different without Wonders. 1650 Mongols lose frigate, we lose an explorer. We buy some barbarian partisans. 1660 Sorry I now understand Mongols don’t attack caravans ! So they head again in the direction(s) of Mongolia. BTW, where are the other civs ? 1690 AD we discover Steam Engine. 1710 AD we capture Barbarians leader. Nothing ever happens ! 1740 Barbarians land near Dover. We discover Railroad. 1750 AD Bad news : something has happened : a Mongol spy has bribed Reading ! Advanced Tribe of Genoa. 1752 AD : more good news, the Mongols are a Democracy, we can’t bribe back Reading. We steal Communism, though. 1754 we revolt and are now Communists. Maggie’s going to love that one ! 1758 AD, we discover Industrialization. Looks like a good time for a true Tory to resign …
