Saladin, Vanilla. Inner Lake. Musa, Gandhi, Asoka, Victoria, Washington, Rooselvet. 1Gems, 1Rice, river start. Very crumped map, my neighbours were born just besides me, I needed to play REX just to get mediocre sites.
1000BC: 4 cities, unremarkable bpt.
1AD: 140bpt, 6 cities, first GS is born, Confu spreads, use GS to be first to Philo.
Next a GA, then a GS, lightbulb half of Education, only GA after that. 14 GP in all.
Tech: Only beelining, Mining-Pottery-Alphabet-Drama-Liberalism 380AD(get free PP, trade it for Natio).
Drama served to trade for Literature and build NE, and also it served to have Music available for trade the turn I got Liberalism.
Other religions didn't spread till the very end, so it is a 2 religion-6 cities game. I used my GPfarm as 1 of the 3 Legendary.
Hermitage in 860AD, 4 Cathedrals in 1010AD, jumping in and out of slavery till then. Multipliers 4-3-2. Victoria dowed soon after and she didn't make peace for the rest of the game, it's a good thing I had a PA with his neighbour Musa.
Starved my people to get 1 more GA, who saved off 1 turn.
At the end: 600-300-200 bpt
After a short break (I felt tired of trying Wastintime and Lexad way of playing) I have come back to my old habits, Drama, no Academy, no Wonders, few cities... and I have got the same kind of result that I was getting with their tactics (or Parthenon, or CoL before Alphabet). I keep my hopes though: with a 2Gems start, farther away neighbours and 3 religions I can be close to the current record.
I will concentrate on the next GOTM and on the current Major, but someday I will be back trying to improve my Deity Culture results.
