Well, my report fell foul to hubby cleaning up his computer while I was on holiday. I seemingly forgot to save it on my partition. 
I have to play on his computer as my laptop has overheating issues. I got my own partition there which he never touches, but I can hardly blame him if I save it in the wrong location.
All I have now are a few scibbled notes on post-its and the impression that somebody mixed something into my tobaco while I was playing. I just can't have done what I wrote down! Seriously
It ended with a Loss in 1938. Ghandi won the Space Race. Washington must have been ready any turn as well.
I founded on the spot and at that point didn't know that you can check who you are up against, so went for Hinduism. (Thanks Sulla, learned about that F8 from your report)
I got it as well.
I guess I built a few warriors in Paris to explore and then a worker and a settler. That's what I usually do.
I researched Masonry, Anumal Husbandry, Hunting and Archery.
I remember that I explored and decided to put my first city up at Wheat/Silk/Pigs. Unfortunately Ghengis could settle immediately after, before my borders could expand.
In 1250 BC Stonehenge was complete and further research went to Pristhood and Pottery.
Now my notes are a bit unclear. I must have built another settler now to seal off my part of the world to the south. There are too many years without anything happening otherwise. I guess I built a lot of archers as well, to keep Ghengis at bay.
In 600 BC Monty converts to Judaism. He founded it the turn before I think and snatched it from me by a turn or two!
I revolt to OR in 560 BC
Discover Writing next.
In 200 BC Hinduism spreads to Beshbalik and I'm quite disappointed when Ghengis converts to it. That madman is going to be my ally!
I also complete the Oracle that turn and choose code of Laws as free tech and found Confucuanism.
Discover Mining.
I must have been expanding to the east now, slowly as money allows. Moses is born in 40 AD and builds the Hindu Shrine right away. I need that gold and Hinduism is spreading nicely in my cities and Ghengis (Missionaries I guess).
Discover Bronze Working.
210 AD Alex declares war. Why?? He's so far off and declares before Monty?? That guy mus hate me big time. It's a phoney war.
230 AD Pyramids come in and I completely forget about changing civics due to Alex unsettling me.
Discover Iron Working and the Fishing (Might have traded for fishing).
Didn't get the Parthenon.
Finally discover Alphabet in 920 AD and finally remember that I had built the Pyramids. Representation and Slavery are adopted.
1025 AD I finish chitzen Itza. Why would I build that? I have no idea!
Now Currency and Metal Casting are on the research list and I finally get some more commerce and production.
Now my notes get sparse as I went over to directly writing it into the report now. Sorry.
I research towards Music, picking up Feudalism on the way and don't get the Free Artist.
Peaceful research until 1610. Washington and Ghandi have a slight tech lead on me, but I figure I can catch up as my cities finally start to look good and I just discovered Education.
Well, Monty declared on Ghengis and as he is my friend, I feel obliged to help him out when he comes asking.
That must have screwed with my mind because I suddenly reseached Nationalism and not Liberalism as I was about to. That'll pay off bad later when Washington snatches Liberalism with me having only 3 turns to go. At least I got The Taj-Mahal and a few Atztec cities.
Unfortunately Ghengis made peace when I just was ready to anhilate Monty. Big arghhhhh.
He declares again on Ghengis in 1692 and I, of course, help my dear buddy again when he needs me.
I get the rest of the Aztec cities now and that was a mistake. I now border with Washington who sees his chance and declares on me.
Well, you have chosen unwisely!...Errr...wait a minute...are those two stacks for real?....how many cavalries are that exactly? I couldn't count them all as they went over the display limit.
I let him take that one Aztec city he was after and made peace as soon as possible.
Time for military buildup.
Researched Tanks and Infantry and build a bunch awaiting his next declaration.
Uh, that's wrong. Why is Alexander declaring war? I can't reach him! He drops off a few units in the former jungly east, but I have oil and soon a destroyer. Yeah, I forgot about my navy. I anhilate his troops and ships a bit later and he soon accepts peace.
Now Washington declare, but not on me. Ghengis is his target.
Same for me, I think. I have about 20 tanks and complemantary infantry and cannons sitting around waiting for Ghengis' invitation...that never comes! I have to sit there and watch Ghengis getting anhilated. He's gone soon after and I later get a few of his cities via culture flip.
Meanwhile the space race is on and Ghandi, Washington and I are close at it. I eventually loose by 2 parts.
Sorry about this completly dry report with much information lacking. It was the best I could muster up. I'll be more careful where I save for the next one!.
Closing thoughts:
Ghengis getting my religion and being my friend was bad!
I could never get out of my small peninsula because of that.
I seriously messed up my research.
After Ghengis adopted my religion I should have solely concentrated on Space Race and building up.
I missed a lot of crucial wonders due to my messed up research.
I was considering to change religion to Confucianism to make ghengis mad at me, but didn't think that was honorable.
(Comments on this please?)
Thanks a lot for this experience Sirian. It was fun and taught me a lot. I'm sure I'll learn even more from all the reports coming in now.
