560 AD Conquest Victory for 105k
Goal was military win of some sort, it's not something I normally do so I didn't have much of a strategy, I just played it as I went along. The only thing I had really planned was that I wanted to do the CS slingshot, because I had never done so before.
Brief outline of my game:
Settled Moscow on plains hill
Lots of gold, scout, masonry from huts
St. Petersburg on gold to the west, Novgorod with 3 cows up north
Used axemen to start conquest, and after macemen became available in 440 BC I started using them instead.
Destroyed in this order: Mao - Roosevelt - Saladin - Viccy, then the French and Aztecs one turn from eachother.
Built Hanging Gardens with GE one turn before I thought I was going to win 530 AD, but I had missed one city. Won in 560 AD with 105k score, by far the best I ever scored
Reason for high score was probably that I didn't raze a single city(except for some crap barbarian ones ). Stopped research after machinery and went all gold, and towards the end I had to make a few cities produce Wealth to make it go around, but it worked.
