To those not following the recent discussion in the "Going for 1000 AD" thread, welcome to the first of possibly many more Early Landing Comparison Games.
The object is to see who can launch and land a space ship first in a game where all players begin with the same start, and anyone is welcome to participate. All you have to do is download the attached save to get started.
The start was randomly generated on a medium map at deity level, with 7 civs and with the raging hordes barbarian setting. You will be playing the Romans and will be starting without any free techs. There is a suitable SSC (Super Science City) site, just to the left of the settlers starting position, with two of its specials already in sight.
We have adopted the following set of rules for these games, which will be open to modification in future games if the majority of players agree to make changes:
1. You may not tip any huts. The emphasis instead, will be on player skill. Any hut appearing inside the radius of any of your cities can be removed by placing a city worker on the hut's tile. The hut will vanish without giving a result. Other huts are simply ignored.
2. You may not use the caravan rehoming exploit, since the game attempts to prohibit this. Any other ploy or exploit is allowed.
3. You will have 3 weeks to complete your game, which means this one will end on Sunday, March 9.
4. You should keep a detailed chronological log of your game, listing all significant events. You are free and are encouraged to embellish this with extra commentary or with accounts of how your strategies worked.
5. When your game is finished, you should post your log in this thread along with a save of the final position, just before the landing. Please refrain from inspecting the logs of others until you have finished your own game and have posted your own results.
Good luck to all players, and don't forget to have fun!

Thanks solo. I have the game and note that it loads with 2.42, which is how I'll play it.
