Thing is that it will eat a lot of your time! But you can save some by using the accelerated start option.
Also, if your civ starts with mining - heres a killer start. Have your first unit scout in a circle around your first city. Get bronze working as your first tech, then make your first 3 units to produce - Worker, Worker, Settler. Use the workers to cut trees 100% of the time if you can until the settler comes out. At this point you can decide - if you get bronze, whether or not you want to go on the attack. The other techs you get at this time depend on what resources you have near your first city. Lots of food? Get Pottery, Animals? Get animal husbandry or hunting.
Tease.
