It feels a little wrong for some reason.
Playing as China, standard speed but small map size. Was originally going to try domination victory but the map was a bit odd with three different continents and everyone spread out. (Fractal map)
Anyway, I focused hardcore on science, built up 4 cities. Around turn 200~ England backstabs me and takes my fourth city, I'm barely able to defend my capital but I peace out with them.
I almost wanted to give up there, but I kept at it. Eventually I became BFF's with Russia, who was on the other continent with a super-warmongery America. I spammed defensive pacts with them all game long (they were way in the lead) to guard me, and repeatedly bribed America to go to war with England and my other close neighbor, Iroquois.
Around 300 I was in second in Science, 3 behind Russia and 2 ahead of everyone else. I figured the only way I can win is with Science and a LOT of bribes to stay out of war.
Well, for some reason Russia didn't continue to focus on Space and built random wonders, so I pulled ahead. I got Hubble, pumped out the spaceship parts and was able to win around turn 390.
I dunno, I'm happy I won but I feel like I shouldn't have.
