Summary:
It was great fun and I learned a lot (especially when I compared my log with DaveMcWs log thank you Dave for your comments).
I guess I built to many cities (I thought I needed it for research) and I did not get Chitzen Itza population up to size 12 quick enough. The idea to revolt to MONARCHY was probably the biggest mistake though?! It took too much time too late in the game.
I am also a bit embarressed
over that I forgot about the free Philosophy tech. Maybe I played it too quick (it took about two hours) in order to switch over and learn more about to the newly bought CIV IV?!
