Till 1300 AD nothing special happened. All this time all AIs where in WHEOOHRN mode.
Small detour for Literature (GLib in 560 AD) and I continued building my navy, which meant Machinery 475 AD and Optics 640 AD. The same year I constructed Colossus in my second city. Without Bronze it took forever and I still was able to get it. Then CS as noone was willing to trade it. 800 AD +1 move from circ the world.
840 AD first GA from Gperson - GA I suppose.
Now Lib path, 980 AD Edu, 1020 Philo.
And now cherry on the cake - Mids at 1080AD!!! I've built NE and saw that they are still available. It took me about 10 turns to finish it in capitol.
I was able to get Lib any moment and AIs were well back at this. One had Paper and one had Philo. So again wandering through tech tree. Guilds for Gunpowder, then Banking and Economics for GM. And another GA 1160 AD thanks to him.
To that time I founded 2 cities on Rice-Fish island. But they had no trade routes, so I needed Astro. Before it Nationalism for Taj Mahal. My GE constructed it in one turn after seond GA finished.
I traded Edu then for Gunpowder and Engineering.
Another cherry - Hanging Gardens 1280 AD. My capitol bagan to be GEs infinity source.
1310 Chemistry. Now I could muster serious fleet of frigates. Khan was most advanced and close to Lib, so I didn't delayed it further. 1340 AD Lib-> Steel, adopting FR and FS at the very end of GA. GE built Ironworks in capitol.
I captured 3rd city on Rice-Fish island from barbs.
Time has Came to think about victory. I had 15 cities, second Khan had 11. Ther was a buffor of Pacal and Alex between us. Khan's spy industry was focused on me, I couldn't even see his Demoghrapics. But Alex had twice my power and Khan declared on him 1340 AD.
I had 2 Frigates and 6-8 Carracks. 3-4 Macemen, that was all my army worth mentioning.
I decided to attack Pacal and capture his main island, with 3 cities which founded 4 religions. He was slowly gaining in techs and had 8 wonders in capitol.
1490 AD I discovered Rifles and was prepared to attack Pacal at 1520 AD. 1535 AD Khan asked me to assist in war against Alex. As I had sea superiority I agreed altough I didn't have enough forces to simultanoesly fight him and Pacal for real.
The same turn I captured wonder-full Pacal's capitol.
1565 AD Boudica DoWed me. I was sending Prvateers to her territory and one of them incidentally met her sea stack. He killed one of Caravels and she backed away. This gave me time to bring up reinforcements to threathened city. She put just 3 units ashore and I finished it and her sea stack and that was the whole war. My Privateers hunted for her Caravels for centuries. 2 of them were later upgraded to powerfull Destroyers.
1575 AD Pacal capitulated giving me Dram and Democracy.
Khan already had Chemistry, so to make my advatage bigger I researched MScience for Ships of the Line.
1595 Alex captured my city 3 turns away from his borders. It just delayed my invasion on his land. I captured his capitol and island city between our lands to get access to Athens via sea. Then I sued for peace in order to bring up reinforcments.
I discovered Assembly Line, traded for SM, got Communism and at 1750 launched 4th GA using GP, GM and GSpy.
I adopted Slavery again, US and State Prop. I needed just 30 years to speed up my infrastructure and army building. Discovered Combustion meantime.
1780 AD DoWed Alex and he capitulated 1802 AD.
One turn later I got Physics. I could win domination easily now for about 90k. But 19th century domination is not impressive as a date and 90k on this map is surely far from medals. So I decided to go for late culture win to collect another shield. But even with this aim I was lousy. I captured 2 central Khan's islands and all cities with modern resources. It was 1876 AD when I finished it. Then captured main Boudica's island - my goal was to eliminate both of them from tech race.
Then I constructed several wonders and national wonders, stopped growing cities and waited for tipping legendary. I delayed it as much as I could, but I should give all conquered territories to my enemies and vassals to be sure of gaining shield. Eh, warmonger's habits - to keep everything you conquered
Couldn't get that diplo victory was trying for 
Good game tho.. not had much practice at island maps as all my learning games were on huge Pangaea, have noticed tho that the AI is very poor at attacking land on wet maps.. which adds a big safety margin.. Still great game good challenge, thank you!
(an keep em coming!)
greeder! Managed to vassal pacal and alex and sneak a diplo victory about 2036 for less than 20000 adjusted points.... cant submit tho as I explained earlier, a cockup accepting peace made me reload.
and +29 
. The world is at my feet, thus the high amount of goods. Glad I waged the war with a small company of high levels of soldiers and spies. 
. This game (at least for me) was perfect: I adopted Representation, Bureaucracy, Caste System and Pacifism. I would complete Mass Media in 4 turns (when Mongolian Empire declared war). All empires were pleased. My situation with the Mongolian was good. I did not expect that someone would attack me and once again I did not bother to defend myself. It would be a cool victory and my first at Immortal level. I was quite upset
