My game was pretty straight forward from the begining of the industrial age. I got Steam as my free tech and easily made a push through the industrial age dragging the other "rich" civs along selling everything along the way to Rome, Spain and Carthage. Well until Carthage decided to sign a MPP with Rome.
This was soon after the era change and Nationalism had just come in and was traded around. I pretty much ignored Nationalism and was at RP in no tme. Anyway, Rome and Carthage sign an MPP. Within 2 turns 4 stacks of Num. cross our boarders. I sign on an MPP with Rome and demand Carthage to leave he refuses and the war begins.
The Sipahi that I had been slowly amassing since they became available are ready to rock but I wait for Carthage to attack first to draw Rome in on the correct side of the war. I roll through Carthage grabbing SunZu and Bachs. This is to go nicely with my Celtic Pyramids. And once Carthage is destroyed I settle in for a lonely research race to space.
By far I am the tech leader and I have to research everything on my own. Selling as I go the AI are paying my way. This I am sure is not the fastest way to space but I know it works.
I easily build the ToE, Sufferage, Hoover, the UN was from my only leader that came from my only real wars. The slow race got boring so I decided to loadup a few transports and took our India in 4-5 turns. At that point I almost decide to go for a domination but decided to stick with my original plan and go for space.
And sat back and launched in 1545 AD with a score of 5647. This was my best space date but I am sure many will destroy it.
Interesting to note Egypt was major force on the other continent and was almost able to take out China. Everyone, including me left Rome alone.
