Lee,
Nice writeup, but the screenshots all have the left edges cut off. It's not a huge deal, but we can't see the depths of crashed economy you managed to get yourself into  .
When exactly did you decide to go culture? With your relentless focus on expansion I thought you were going domination, then space as it became clear you weren't declaring on Asoka.
Finally, how the heck did Louie get a settler all the way near the Aztec lands? Do you have a pic of when that city was founded? Rough with the colony DOW error.

The decision was made on the fastest way to finish in real time. Space required a lot more turns, and more empire management. With all cities on wealth after the slider went up I could stop reviewing city status. I was able to pretty much just click through the last block of turns.

Hi,

However, better than cropping them all the same way and thus removing potentially interesting information, maybe resizing would be a better option. Irfanview, for example, can do this pretty well (use the slowest, but best resize filter).

My mistake. In your report, after the colony creation you said something like "Tenochtitlan is x% American"; I didn't realize that the colony bug does this too. I thought that a French city was putting cultural pressure on Teno, and some blue water on the minimap looked like an American border to me

-Kylearan Perhaps I'm simply trying to alter the resolution too much, but I use Irfanview to resize my SG screenshots from 1920x1200 to 960x600, which I assume would work well. Unless I've missed a setting for better quality, I'm happy with the ease-of-use and no-cost of Irfanview, but the screenshots often have details that are hard to make out.

You popped a lot of great people, far more than I did. I had only three by 1250 AD, and scrambled all-out to get three more for a third Golden Age by 1500 AD. Were those concentrated in the National Epic city, or did you have a lot of cities running specialists instead of cottages?
The Monty rush was interesting - I probably would have done the same thing with an ultra-early Iron Working - but it didn't seem to catch you up by 10 AD. When did you get to Pottery and start cottaging? I had at least fifteen each villages and hamlets by 10 AD.
On the topic of screenshots, I think 1024 pixels wide is fine. You have to have 1024x768 resolution to play Civ 4 in the first place anyway. That said, smaller shots with pertinent information are always welcome. I usually paste the image twice into Paint Shop Pro, crop one of them to the area I want, then select and copy important info areas (economy, date, scores, map) from the full size image into the cropped image.
