The year 1850 indicates, that the game is on quick speed. By that year, you should have won already. That would be around turn 290+ on Standard Speed.
Just, why? I mean, if we were talking about playing the game efficiently well, then you have a point, but there is no rule on the game that tells you that you must win before you reach X turn, don't forget that you play games for fun.
I think that this came to light because maybe essetzebraman is new to the forums and he doesn't have yet the idea of what are the parameters that the community had for evaluating who actually is better at this game, i mean, before I found this forum, surely I would been very impressed of myself if i somehow managed to get half of the yields of this guy, playing on the same speed, and at the same difficulty. Because I didn't have any other player to compare myself, but now that I know that for example, good players that seek for SV can reach Plastics before turn 200 in standard time phase. Well, learning that is like receiving a punch directly to your face
, but actually helps you to find at what level you're standing.
Maybe he thought that he was doing an outstanding game, he was proud of that fact and created a topic to show us, so please don't be so hard with him, actually he's doing pretty well, i will like to have a faith-science based game, sounds fun.
