This felt like one of those hands of Bridge where you have like zero points; You know you they'll make the contract, but you consider it a win if you manage a couple of tricks. Retired (quit) turn 284. Maya/Vietnam were close to 300 (of 610) visitors, I was at 84. Everyone but Ethiopia and me...

Turn 180 CV, (turn 131 on replay, lost the autosave to attach when I replayed) Was originally going for science but looked at the victory screen around turn 130 and was ~1/3 way to a CV so refocused. Could have been faster (as noted by the replay) if I did that originally. - What did you...
