I am just curious, how fast have you all had a science victory post patch? I had one game as the Aztecs where I won in the year 1710 AD. The map was Pangea, standard settings other than policy savings, raging barbs (duh, I am the Aztecs...), and quick combat. I also think I had abundant resources. This was on prince though so I didn't have to build many units at all...
I got a fantastic start next to a river, a mountain, plenty of food, marble, 2 silver, 2 stone, and some jungle and hills. My second and third city were also fantastic and between those I had silver, gems, silk, cotton, and marble. I made 5 cities total although the first 3 were the main ones. My capital was producing more than 400 science near the end and the other two were producing over 200 each. My policies were finishing tradition first, then saving for rationalism. My build was something like, Jaguar, worker, settler, floating gardens, hanging gardens, great library national college.
I probably could have finished in the 1600s if I saved the rationalism finisher until later or made a few more research agreements.
So how fast have other people gotten science victories post patch?
