I think no one is doing this one as it is impossible. Here Incas clearly rule. Gawd, Marathon blows.

That's sad

Maybe I should ping Seriael

Think it's okay, we also had no chance against the Inca date in occ Ragnar

Should be a not too long game if you can find a good start with bfc copper, ofc it's annoying not knowing that.
Or maybe there are better options than Axes, and i just cannot see them?

I saw that noone tried this challenge, so I decided to play a in the last few days of the challenge.

I selected No City Razing without thinking about it. That forced me to get Feudalism and vassal at least some AIs for the conquest win. The win date really suffered as a result.

I did an Elephant Catapult rush. Wiped out Napoleon using Axemen and Catapults. Added War Elephants to wipe out Ramesses II and vassal Gandhi and Lincoln. When I vassaled Lincoln, that gave me two victory conditons, conquest and domination, but luckily I won conquest in the victory condition "coin flip".

It was a fun game!
