Have no experience with 20k. Anyway AIs got/will get all wonders first. Knights not necessary on Archipelago. Picks + IMs good enough.

Yes, I think 7 days extension is a good idea. I vote for this. Ivan

Game was harder then expected. Summitted 3 hours ago, but did not receive e-mail confirmation. But my name in the submission list.
