1 WW captured, I think kcd beat me to it.

Cultural victory in 1505AD. Had founded 2 religions in the BCs, got theo in 75AD and Tao in 200AD and with a bud spread, got 5 religions in my LCs with the corresponding cathedrals. Had 4 good candidates for LCs so doubted a bit, but in the end dropped Gilga's former capital of Uruk as a candidate and just had it build miscellaneous wonders. Not too lucky with the great people, got only 9 Great Artists and 10 other assorted Great People (including Music and Economics GP), wonders being partly to blame. With a bit more luck on that front might have gotten the victory in the early 1400s.

Settled 1S. Got decent events, Tin and 1 of my pret get 3XP, from huts some gold, far away from BW or IW.

Start for what i was planning to do was ok i didnt need anything else allthough preety poor,
anyway my capitol wasnt bigger then s4 so yea.

And damn i screwed this game so hard.
At 50BC only Darius left, and i just didnt noticed strike my pretorians on front was deleted, and Persopolis left with only 1 defender with 0.3HP .

Ended up with 475AD Conq should be like 100AD ;/, i allmoust dont want to post it

You suck. I hate you. Oh... you required blood and gore. Sick, dude. OK, I should have read carefully what you said. Boo hoo for me.

15 WW captured, 1605 domination victory

Played a rather lazy game. The start was more difficult than expected for Nobel. Cities on hills promoted archers and lots of culture. Waited for catapult support. Domination victory in the 17xx.
Captured 18 World wonders. Fun game

Well, that went well. NOT! Conquested by Zara Yaqob in 1370. My Settler 2 was killed by a barb warrior in 1840 BC and from then on it was more or less downhill. Was planning on attacking ZY with a stack of Praets and Cats, but he actually gave in to my demand of Monarchy - and then Gilgamesh and Hannibal declared instead... Bah! Humbug!

27 WW captured.

I hope you did like I did not and read the rules for that special award...

Late religious victory.

Started peacefully, then right after 1AD Brennus sneak attacked and took my only wonder at the time (I think it was the only, anyway), the Great Photon Emitter (Lighthouse) which I had just completed. Fortunately I had the means to build praets and I soon reconquered my city which was located on the coastal copper SW of Gil's capital. The Celts were too far to conquer at the time so I eventually made peace. Later Zara sneak attacked and took a city somewhat south of the southwestern iron near a desert. Again I retook it and continued on until Zara was only a bad memory. Next Brennus was at war with someone, Saladin I guess. I joined the war and this time was able to take Celtic cities thanks to my battle hardened infantry and some leftover cavalry. Then Brennus went and vassaled himself to Hannibal, causing him to attack my recently conquered Kenyan cities. I had to recall the cavalry and whatnot to defend but still killed Brennus. Next was Hanny's turn to die, everyone who attacked me would be annihilated. After this Sally peace vassaled and all that was left were Darry and Gilly. I liberated a worthless city completely within Persian cultural borders that Hanny had taken from Darry earlier and he was so pleased he made a defensive pact. This also prevented an accidental domination victory. Now only Sumeria was left and my first tanks were rolling from a HE+WP small wondered city that had over 20 exp from military instructors and the WP.
I was going to Kill Gill hmm: was that a Tarantino movie) but domination limit threatened and so I went and allowed to be voted for AP victory.
Gilly was left alive so I didn't count my wonders, Darry and Gilly had some but I couldn't really take those cities without going over the domination limit.

Nothing to write home about since this was only a noble game. If there were a Lowest Scoring Religious Victory shield maybe I'd win that. However with my Botm105 game protected assets crashed and DVD-ROM not cooperating to let me play Wotm73, this was literally the only Civ4 game in town.

Spoiler :

I wish I could have razed Moscow. If I ever make a Gotm I'll make it a requirement to raze the city that has Kremlin. Come to think of it Gilly built said forced labour wonder in this game so I should have just attacked and razed Uruk even if it took me over domination limit.

A little but not much:
When is the next Botm going to start? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms
Edit: Never mind, while I was adding artistic touches in the form of smilies, DS was posting a new thread on Botm106.
