Default New PBW game: Turn Blitz #1

Open to all, this is a unique game that I expect to Last only a week or two!

This is an unmodded v1.67 (Gold SE4) game, with TDM 3.10.

The key feature of this game is the fact that the turns are exactly one hour long.
What you will have to do to play this game is choose a TDM AI to partner with.
Take as many or as few of the turns as you like, and the AI will play while you eat, sleep and/or work.
The winners will be the players who survive to see a galactic peace that Lasts one whole Real-life day (24 turns).

Any questions?

Edit:
PvK reminded me of something: How do we get a fair start when people are playing from different timezones?

How about we start with the first turn at 12 hours long on a Friday... turn two will be 6 hours long, turn 3 will be 3 hours, turn 4 will be 2 hours, and the rest will be one hour.

(-5 Timezone (RED on map))friday: 7pm, saturday: 7am, saturday:1pm, saturday: 4pm, saturday: 6pm, saturday 7pm, ...

Those in europe will get saturday 2am, saturday 2pm, sat 8pm, sat 11pm, sunday 1am ...
People in the west US & canada will have to get up 2 or 3 hours earlier than me.

Overall, players in the western states & canada will have trouble with turn #2, while those in Europe will have trouble with turn #1. The rest of the turns seem OK to me.

Additionally, I can run the first few turns under full AI control before beginning with the system described above. That way the first player turns won't make as much of a difference.
