Lennier
Emperor
My current game (Emperor, huge, marathon, hemispheres (2)), my continent founded every religion except Buddhism which was founded by Izzy on the other continent. Hinduism became the dominant religion on my continent but not before Cyrus built the AP in Judaism. But in the Renaissance, the "other" continent caught up to us tech-wise and even got ahead.
In my quest to unify my continent, I managed to seize control of the AP and decided my best chance at victory would be AP cheese (with space a backup). But Izzy stubbornly refused to open borders with me for me to send a Jewish missionary to her. There was a one-tile island off her coast that I plopped down a settler with a missionary on, but it was one or two tiles too far away from her for her to accept it as a gift.
So I set in for a grind to Alpha Centuri, when Izzy and Julius decided to form a permanent alliance. Which forced Izzy to accept Julius' OB with me. AP cheese, here we come.
