Great work everybody! Very impressive turn times by Ironfighter and Babinski, taking science to a whole new level. Zenmaster continues to dominate the charts, great Gold medal! NiceOneEmlyn is making a name for himself, steadily and surely, with some awesome play. And I think special mention should be made of Cromagnus last game. A Time monument where he microed countless cities during countless turns just to show that breaking the 19K barrier could be done. This victory will indeed stand the test of time.

Agreed, good stuff guys. As for zenmaster, well he is in it for the long run, a lot of skill and resolve would be required to ever catch him!

Very well done Cromagnus. I tried one of these time victory games and it turned out to be a disaster, 170 turns in on quick speed - YOU HAVE WON A CULTURE VICTORY....lol. Playing Vanilla, I learned the rudiments of time games before Diplo and Culture, I think on BNW I would need to reverse this order of learning! Not sure if I really want to get that involved with BNW though!

Fixed the G-Minor CI results, above, as I had the names switched.

1st zenmaster - 1740 AD T-173
2nd vadalaz - 1770 AD T-179

Sorry. zenmaster.
