King of the Beers
Played my last game as Poland and reached your numbers around the turn 175 with 5 cities of mine. I didn't go for Liberty but all of Rationalism instead. Reached 650 bpt when i hit Radio. Too bad i couldnt borrow gold for factories so i had to spend a (useless) policy.
Was playing emperor and DoFed only 1 civ.
Another question : Did you sign some RAs? How many DoF have you made?
Of course with DoFs you can borrow gold. 5gpt gets you 150. I'm playing exclusively Venice until I get the bugs worked out. Trade routes may encourge DoFs. In my games I have had 3 people ask me for RA's in a single turn.
