I was just playing a game on Prince. One of my neighbours, Wang Kon, managed to build the University of Sankore in 2-5 turns. I wasn't keeping track too closely, but I was holding off on trading Paper to him until I had the wonder nearly completed. I traded the relevant tech with 20 turns to go on it, only to see the Koreans complete it a few turns later.
I quit the game in disgust.
3-4 hours spent on this game to have my religious-economy strategy shattered (I badly needed that wonder). Anyway, Wang Kon was cornered off on a small strip of continent. I had expanded outwards to block him in (archipelago, snaky continents). He had maybe 4 or 5 tightly packed cities and was completing a new wonder every 20 turns and was light years ahead in tech.
My question is: how is it physically possible to complete a wonder from start to finish in only a few turns? I'd use that f---ing strategy if I knew how it was even possible.
I can dig out the save game if anyone wants to have a look.

Needless to say, I now hold those techs jealously until the wonder is safely in my hands.
No tech trading will be more annoying......
