T268 is really fast for a first diety victory. Congratulations!
You probably want to get mercantilism earlier. If you get Oracle, you can usually get mercantilism before education (as poland)
Ah, well I almost went for oracle but I think Maria got it pretty early. Will maybe try again next go.
NC was at T83What turn are you getting the benchmark (nc, edu, st, etc.) techs and what are your pop sizes at those techs?
Edu a little late at t115
and I was kind of late getting RS
Your endgame science looks a bit small. Are you working all your specialist slots for the science from secularism?
Are you bulbing your GSes "carefully?" The beaker overflow is capped at 5 turns of research which means thag if you bulb a 1/2 turn tech, you'll waste some beakers.
Yeah, it's way too small. Really not sure why. I'm sure I worked all specialist slots in each city, but will double check later. I probably did waste some beakers, particularly when Theodora DoW on me, I bulbed some techs at the bottom of the tree to get some advanced military, but never less than 3 turns to go to research.
*EDIT OK I checked slots, and i didn't work factory and stock exchange in Warsaw and some others in the other cities (guess because I wanted to keep the growth up). Should I always be working all slots?
Not sure on this one, quite some time before I won. Guessing around T220.Lastly, when did you complete Hubble? Seeing as you have 2 turns until another GS, if you compled Hubble 10 turns before victory, you could have naturally generated another GS.
Thanks for the help.
