175K 620AD Conquest
ha...kinda fun to putz around on Nooble
My goal here was to try to balance early Conquest with high a score as possible.
1) Settled one city before up north for horses before then amassing war chariots and taking out AIs.
2) Took out Willie first and then Louie (I wanted his GW asap so not to worry about barbs). Used their cities to launch attacks on Gilgs and Qin. Gilgs proved a bit of a nuisance as I lost several units and had to regroup, but that just let me take more cities later.
3) Main Egypt cities built HAs by this time and took out Hanny.
4) Oracled CS for what it was worth
5) Built Colossus and SoZ in Amsterdam for the heck of it.
6) Finished with 30 cities
7) Overall, there's several things I could have done much better, if I paid closer attention to improve my date and score. I think a Conquest game around my finish date could easily exceed 200K
Ultimately, this game can be easily won with WCs alone in the BCs but you probably will get at best a 100K score depending on if you keep cities. However, you will have to whip a lot.
Likewise, in hindsight, I could have probably gone for domination at an early date than my finish. I did use my Eastern cities to build some settlers here and there and could have done more of that as well...easily. I took the approach of building more wealth though and finishing up a few techs to increase score at the end.
Furthermore, one could take a later Domination approach to this game and milk for I think around a 300K plus score. I considered that, but just wanted to finish this one up.
