Spoiler :So after taking the continent, I tried to get my science going, which worked so lala. I just started catching up when I had to decide if I go on the war path again, or stay your nice neighborhood hun. I decided to do the latter and scored a science victory one turn before Theodora.
Once again my culture was bad all game long. I was late for Ideologies and only got 1 free tenet freedom. I got massive unhappiness for going Freedom, but since I could build status of liberty I stuck to it. But could not get 6 tenets together to actual buy a single part, had to hardbuild all of them. WF was never proposed at all, no IG and no Space Station.
On my first attempt I would have finished my final two parts at t295, but Theodora finished that same turn her spaceship and won. I messed up my GS bulbing, with getting two GS and one RA (with Theodora) too much... leaving me researching waaay too much and start building parts too late. So I restarted some 50 turns earlier and replayed the final part. This time, I again messed up my bulbing the other way around. I never agreed to the RA, I started bulbing too early and accidentally switched into full production mode, delaying my final 2 GS. Which caused me to having research the final part for 10 rounds and then build it, while all others would have been finished. I delayed most other space parts and went full research mode, which shaved off a few turns.
In the end, I finished 1 turn earlier then in the last game, whit Theodora missing the final piece.
Research milestones:
t118 Universities
t176 schools
t223 plastics
Besides culture, my other problem was money...I rarely had any in this game. One of the first WC items that passed was embargo city states, and since I was desperately trying to catch up with science, I did not bother exploring, or building a harbor, thus no trade routes to the other nations until very late in game. Even if I would have the culture to get the freedom tenet to buy the pats, I would not have the money.
Spoiler :
hey, that's a good win. Well done.
