Hmm but already fill my noteboook with micro so maybe I'm a nerd  I don't know when this game will actually start so maybe I do half my oponents today and half tomorrow. Wait that sounds weird, I mean I do an analysis about their picks and playstyles. 
Well I'm starting to suspect that this game won't start
 But I gues that isn't a good reason to keep me from writting an oponent analysis. Gawdzak/BaII - Zara Yaqob (Cre/Org) of Byzantium (MYST/WHE, Cataphract/Hippodrome) Background: Gawdzak - PB20 Ball - PB12 Pbem53 PB17 Players: I have read Gawdzak thread in PB20 he seems pretty good. Kinda hard to measure his skill since the traits over there distorcioned any good comparatible value. If I have to guess I'll said he prefer horizontal to vertical growth and Zara could help him with that. Ball isn't particulary strong although to be fair I haven't read his PB17 thread so he probably is better that I remember. The thing is having a teamate is more likely than not a good thing. Having someone to bounce ideas is always good. Skill Level 1 to 10: 6.2 Inside of his start: Difficult to said, they have picked Byzantium which isn't as bad as before since the lower cost of food techs make more viable. I'm asuming that they intend to rush for this UU and attack someone. Can't really said much in here he can go anywhere with that starting techs, even so I think that they would settle his second city later than the rest.
Gavagai - Gandhi (Phi/Spi) of Rome (FISH/MIN, Praetorian/Forum)
Background: PB12 Pb16 Pb17? PB20 Player: Gavagai is pretty oportunistic, he doesn't mind antagonize his neighbour if he thinks this would give him an advantage in the short-mid term. He doen't seem to take into account that people are irrational and so he makes move that although look reasonable to him normally just piss off the other. He has choosen a somehow difficult leader to use. The new Phi would give him GP faster than usual so an early academy seems very posible, there is also a chance for a bulb beliene although I don't think he would go that way. He would want the Pyramids and he definitely can profit from it, not sure if he could get it though, Gandhi is a slow starter and he would need to make a somehow big sacrifice to build it. Skll level: 6.7 Inside his start: He took Rome which is a good pick for a seafood start. He probably will go BW first, while building a workboat, then he would go two workers and a settler. Probably chop his second worker grow his city to 3 or 4 depending of his other food and then whip his settler. Rome would also give him a good defensive unit for the medieval times. Random prediction: Gavagai would want to play this game very peaceful yet he would get dot-pink by Azza. 
Good news and bad news.
Good news is the game will start soon, the bad is the I have to keep writing more. Barteq - Hannibal (Cha/Fin) of the Zulu (AGR/HUNT, Impi/Ikhanda) Background: None that I know of. Player: Not much to said here. Hannibal is a good leader that emphasizes more in vertical growth, could be one of the tech leaders. Skill level: ?? Inside his start:He most probably chose Zulu for the ikhanda yet is also likely that he has one or two livestock food resource. This could potentialy make or a little slow start compared to others. I think two workers before a settler is a given. Since he won't get BW until t31-32 then he probably need to slow build the settler. Random prediction: And early rush that ends on failure. Continue after playing Pbem 60.
Played and so I continue.
GermanJoJo/Lord Parkin - De Gaulle (Cha/Ind) De Scandinavia (FISH/HUNT, Berserker/Trading Post) Background: Parkin: PB4 PB5 PB14 PB20 GermanJoJo: PB20 Players: GermanJojo is and odd guy, definetely don't want to start next to him. I don't know how god he is but he seems to be to emotional invest on the game which although funny to read makes for a terrible neghbour. The good thing is that he is paired with Parkin. Parkin likes to do things his way. If you contradict him he won't argue much but just quietly start to disapear. I mean I already can see how they make their picks: GJ: I think we shiuld chose Catherine. LP: Yeah Catherine sounds great and when the pick get to us we should definitely consider her but I was thinking than trying someone like De Gaulle will be interest too. There is still time to think about it. GJ: We are next, I still think that Catherine or Haniball are really good picks although you make good points about Gaulle. LP:Yeah there are definitely good but don't you think that an IND leader will be really strong specially if nobody else pick one. GJ: True but... LP: I mean not only we would get a fair chance of gaining most wonder just because people would be to afraid to compete. GJ: Yeah but don't you thin... LP: Since MC is cheaper we could get a couple of forges in play faster. We should also consider our start, we have seafood so if we go with the Vikings using CHA would be really stron. GJ: Vikings? We haven't really talk about civs yet, although there are indeed good... LP: Of course they are plus CHA bonus from the beginning is really useful. I mean yeah catherine is pretty good but don't you want to try the new CHA? This is a test game after all so who cares lets just have fun! Then path A: GJ: Yeah I think you are right but I still think we should go with Catherine. LP: Sure. She is pretty good. 20 turns later Parkin get to busy playing/reporting the lurker civ in PB18 and he slowly disappear. PAth B: GJ: I'm in! Lets play De Gaulle! Parking smile while rubbing his hands in the shadows. Disclaimer: This conversation above is not real. The characters are not real, any resmable with reality is a coincidence. SKill level: 6.9 Inside his start: If Parkin is the one in charge, the probably two workers follow by a settler around turn 33-37 considering a seafood start, which I think is a given since they chose vikings, Definitely won't whip as I noticed that Parkin doesn't like to whip early. Random prediction: They won't get any early wonder (StoneHedge, Oracle, TGH)   And if GJ is in charge they go Warrior->Warrior->Warrior->Warrior RUSH!!!I thought Barteq played PB14 with Haram, but I haven't read their thread... (Edit: I just read it, it didn't take long.)
