In the year 2750BC, a mighty ruler by the name of David succeeds to the throne (actually a wooden seat but never mind) of the Australian people. A cannabalistic party is thrown to celebrate.
2725BC: Still hungover from the party, David hears news that Haile Selassie 1 of the Ethiopians has begun work on the Chichen Itza. Shrugging off the news, he lets off a mighty belch and hides his head under the pillow.
2700BC: Cleanup operation begins. Half eaten human bodies are hastily fed to the dogs. They don't half make a smell.
2675BC: Idoiana of the Indonesians begins work on the Chichen Itza. The secret of bronze working is discovered, so Australian scientists are ordered to begin work on the art of writing. David changes Snorf's build queue to Phalanx (for dealing with pesky barbarians) followed by a settler.
2650BC: David discovers that it's possible to bite one's own toenails. Much uproar in Australia as people start biting off their overgrown toenails.
2625BC: David marries his thirteenth wife. Villagers hear strange noises in the night. They attribute it to "the Gods".
2600BC: Australian warriors continue exploring the continent. *sigh*
2575BC: Aargh! has its granary rushbought and a phalanx is then queued for construction.
2570BC: A new farm is built near Snorf. Santa Anna of the Mexicans begins construction of Ramayana.
2525BC: Warriors are confronted by a barbarian warrior unit.
2500BC: Warriors are killed by the barbarians. However, Snorf should have adequate defenses to deal with the barbarians.
Infatuated with the rock and roll lifestyle of a polygamous, canabalistic warrior, David steps down from the wooden chair and disappears with his thirteen wives. Villagers report strange noises coming from the mountains for years afterward....

Good job keeping our civilization alive - weekend Apolytons.
I tried to post a message this weekend, but my internet provider was behaving like it was 300 baud! So I gave up.
Anyway, regarding turns that prove too tough and require a reload: Again, I'll say that this is up to the individual ruler. You could declare that you tried your best and it's game over...(subject of course to the No Confidence Vote) OR you could reload your saved file and keep trying until something different happens.
If you are totally unable to avoid catastrophe... well, then you may as well write a creative summary and call it quits. If you get a No Confidence Vote, sure someone else may try it, but he may run into the same problem. I'd say after two No Confidence vote situations, if the third guy can't resolve it, then it's pretty much Game Over.
I hope that helps.. and I'll also add that it should be noted that no one knows for sure if Darkknight actually reloaded - he could have just written a creative "dream sequence" into his story.

Edit: Alright; after I re-read his post, I'll admit that it's about as likely as Pigs Flying - but still we have no proof. So my judgment on Darkknight is: NOT GILLCUP! (Monty Python fans will get it).

nothing happens
nothing happens
nothing happens
1950 A farm is plowed next to Iratland

1850 BCE Stirred from a deep sleep, Jackazzdespot realizes that something amazing has occurred! A new settler has been built in AAAGH!
1825 BCE the action never ceases! A hoplite has been built in Iratland. It was fortified, while the previous garrisson was sent to escort the settler leaving AAAGH!
nothing happens
1750 Jackazzdespot dies realizing that he wasn't really a Jackazz or much of a despot either.
In other words, nothing happened! No barbarians, no messages from other civs, not SH!^
Have fun

yes, with the possible exception of Barbarian hordes, BOREDOM seems to be the main feature of any rule over our Australian people.

at the end of my turn we were in last by a good margin, and we were about 1/4 the strongest ones power.
they might not be that far ahead because economy (while usless, whats 10% gold when your making 7 in a city?) which gives a huge graph advantage. many times in games(early) i have had huge leads in # of city's and size of them and been far behind in the graph. because, i build very few buildings until they are usefull, which is mid way through game.
this brings me to the biggest fault in the game. not the ai, but the buildings beeing so useless. It results in forcing the player to conquer and expand as an only option. makes the game very onesided.

Pilfur
|
|
After the long and uneventful reign of rooboy, came the long and equally uneventful reign of Pilfur....
1250 BCE
Farms had been established all throughout the realm, and planters were ready to resume other activities. They were put to work on the very farms that they established. (Public works reduced, farmer specialists created - there were no tile improvements to build, nor much to produce in the cities. The growth should do us some good).
1225
The farmers toiled away. Pilfur decided to produce a new band of warrior explorers to discover the unknown area to the southwest.
1200 - 1100 Nothing happened
1075
The explorers reached the ruins and were immediately ambushed by barbarians. Valiantly, the explorers did away with them and took their skulls as trophies.
1050
Settlers were built in Snorf. They head north to establish a town on the northern coast between Snorf and Aaargh!
1025
Pilfur retired due to boredom... handing the reigns of power to anybody willing to take them.
