Yes, I am fairly new to the game though I have had it for quite awhile. I was just wondering what's the earliest point in the game anyone has won? And I mean this in terms of real time AND game time. I have yet to actually complete a game, hehe. Between Civ3 and Age of Wonders II, I now have no life. TBS games are just so addicting...
I think the earliest was 3995 BC some guy made a map of all mountains and the ai couldn't build a city anywhere so they all gave up and committe suicide. There's a picture of the histograph on the start page of this site
Meticulous play on a huge map took about 3-1/2 months, 20-30 hours/week. Finished about 1950 (spaceship). Great game, but I am trying smaller maps now.
Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever had a really quick win, gametime or realtime. Must be my style of play, which usually finishes the game in the Modern Era with, at most, the only techs researched to finish the spaceship.
And since I compulsively manage my cities and workers, I spend a good deal of time deciding what to do during the turns. I'm the sort of guy who will make sure that when a forest gets chopped, none of those 10 shields get wasted.
