I think I'm getting senile!

How do you want to define n00b? I mean, this would be my 6th MP game ever, 4 of which are still ongoing, and I've never even made it to an endgame yet.

Yes, i'm good at strategy games in general, and yes, I can read the wonderful guides on the forum and the explanations of the game rules and make good choices. That doesn't make me experienced, per se. That said, i'm happy competing against just about anyone - getting whupped is a great learning experience.

(I'm apparently also good at diplomacy, which is helping immensely in two games so far).

Actually, the most entertaining thing about this so far is the choice of settings for a n00b game. Independent strength 9 is not something I'd think was a good idea for inexperienced players (i'll confess, i'm probably not a n00b at openings anymore). And random events being rare is just a weird choice.
