To qualify to READ in this thread your team must know all the rivals in the game, or know of their demise.
You can determine that you have met or eliminated all your rivals by
(a) checking the Victory Conditions screen to see how many rivals you would need to eliminate for a Conquest victory, or
(b) watching for the messages that tell you how you are doing relative to the other civs. When the screen lists no Unknown civilizations you have found them all.
To qualify to POST in this thread a nominated scribe from your team must post a summary of your game up to the point defined above.
Your summary should include your early decisions on city placement, research, units and improvements, and the milestones in the development of your economy, civics, contacts and diplomatic relationships.
When posting, please do not discuss future events beyond the date you met the spoiler condition. And remember that your viewing public will be looking out for literary flair, historical accuracy, humour, and strategic insight. Comments on the SGOTM experience so far will also be welcome.
So, how was it for you? Still alive and kicking?
