I'm not sure if I have the the time right now to dedicate to a second full blown game + instruction (especially with graduate school applications coming up), but I'll definitely try to do my best to be as didactic as possible in this thread, and I encourage you to suggest ideas for how we should play in this game (and I'll respond if I agree, respectfully disagree, etc.). And of course, I'll probably have an urging to play additional Civ4 once 2014 starts.
