Believe me when I tell you that there is no toungue, mortal or divine, that can adequately express how thoroughly distraught I am to read this. Indeed, I suspect that the culmination of my entire existence has passed me by in complete ignorance.

When I joined, I did so as a n00b with a solid understanding of tactics, a decent understanding of strategic movement, but little
to no appreciation of just how important a good long-term strategy is in this game.
I knew nation selection in this game was random, but I figured that with only three nation in the late era that I definitely didn't want to play as, I was safe. Unfortunately, late age TC was my least favorite nation. I've since discovered some things I like about them, but long after designing a rather poor build for this game.
On our first start, I had a great start position that I could have made work even with my poor design. The restart, however, left me starting in a pass (almost dead center of the map) and surrounded by terrain that completely neutralized one of the few TC advantages I was prepared to exploit: strategic mobility.
I eventually attacked Gath to the north and was rebuffed with only a minimal effort... I then ventured east against Utgard, taking the vast majority of his territory and enslaving much of his armies, but could never be sure I was set to take his cap without exposing myself to the other nations around me. Just a newbie's jitters perhaps, but there ya go.
Gath invade just a couple of turns before I was ready to cast AN and start an invasion of my own, but the game was pretty much decided before this.
Overall, it was a learning experience that was almost fun. Thanks guys!
