Won Age of Discovery and Mesoamerica as the Aztecs- both a cultural victory in Tenochtitlan, although the Mesoamerican one could've been a domination win in five turns. Score for AoD was 1500 ish and the Mesoamerican one was 325- seeing as I owned 33% of the contient and 89% of the people with most of my cities in "We Love the Elder" day, I don't see how that is, but...whatever. A win's a win.

Just finished the Pacific campaign playing as the Americans on Monarch level.
I got a VP victory on turn 42(Jun 45)
spent 14 hours 16 minutes 38 seconds ( left the computer a few times for breaks without closing the game)
score was 22,656
I got lucky at Pearl Harbor,no BB lost, all damaged though. Then the Japs split up their CV fleet keeping them around Hawaii in 1CV 2 support ship combos. I picked off 3 CVs and 2 BBs before they managed to get away.
Lost 2 of 4 Phillipine cities and Guam on turn 1. Wake held against 2 IJN Marines as did Manila.
On a hunch I rushed an airport in Manila and was able to start airlifting troops to the PI. Got enough there in time to stop the enemy advance and slowly started to retake the islands.
Worked my way across the Pacific islands finally ending by taking Nagasaki when the game ended. Used nukes on Tokyo and Nagasaki.
Britain didn't do a damn thing and refused to trade any tech. China got kicked around pretty badly by the look on the map. the Dutch held their islands, although they didn't bother to take anything else.
Airlift should probably been disabled for realism' sake, because it's pretty easy to get alot of troops on the scene in a hurry with an airbase or airport nearby. A fun scenario otherwise, I'll try the Chinese next to see if i can do better than Chiang.

I didn't get to trigger my Golden Age. Should've stopped building settlers much earlier and concentrated on military instead. The Phoenicians 3-city empire should've been dead long before entering the iron age...

C3C Scenerio #1 Mesopotamia Reagent
I won as Phoenicia by Victory Points w/3 of 5 completed wonders. What I really like about Conquests' scenerios is that I pretty much had the smallest empire and won.
I'm not always in the mood to develop a strong large empire and this is a fun challenege.
Scoring:
As an aside I was originally confused by the victory point scheme on the histograph. If you look closely the Medes at one point have all the VP. The histograph shows everyone equal,presumeably at zero, then they get a point and no one else did. I scared me --- I thought it was a bug but then reasoned it out.
I LOVE THIS GAME

Just won the WW2 Pacific Scenario as USA on Emperor. This was a very close shave - the game finished in March 1945, but the turn before that I had about 38800 points and Japan had 39200 or so. So in Feb 1945 I thought that I'll lose if I don't get all the required points in 1 turn. Luckily it turned out that Nagasaki only has 2 defenders, so I moved a Carrier closer to Japan, bombed Nagasaki and luckily for me there are exactly 7 squares between Okinawa and Nagasaki so I was able to move a transport filled with Marines to Nagasaki and capture it. Also on a nearby island a city was only protected by a Battleship, so I captured that as well - as a result I won comfortably. (Nagasaki was size 18, so capturing it gave me 1800 points!) My score in the end was 29574. I was 2 turns away from building Manhatten Project.
The game didn't start off too well for me, as in the first few turns the Japanese captured all of my Pacific Islands except Hawaii and Midway. Also I didn't realise the power of the submarine "stealth attack" so early in the game I very stupidly lost an aircraft carrier and a full transport!
So by mid-1942 I was left in a very bad shape. I still had my navy though, but hardly any ground forces. So I stationed my navy between Wake Island and the island south of it, and kept bombarding those islands until a transport with marines arrived. After that it was easy - most islands weren't well defended, so I just bombed and bombarded until all defenders had 1HP left and then attacked with Marines.
It got a bit tougher when I approached China, because that where most of the Japanese forces were concentrated - I lost a few airplanes there.
My allies were always very good to me - I always had RoP with all of them, traded a couple of techs, luxuries. Surprisingly, the Dutch even helped me militarily by bombarding Japanese cities during their turns. Overall it was a very enjoyable game.

SewerStarFish, I look at your map and I notice there is plenty of room for me to add Assyria without increasing the map size. Its still a shame they didn't add them.
Not much for anything else though. One question: Is Medes exactly the same as Persia (Leaderhead Name and Unit name, I'd assume the graphics are Persian).

Yes the Medes are the Persians. The Pheonicians are the Carthagians as well.
I may be off on my history but aren't the Hittites the predecessors of the Assyrians?

how does everyone take screen shots?
i would have loved to post some shots of my victory in the middle ages as germany, my cultural superiority ate up about half of poland's territory and left burgundy with only the italian peninsuala, the only fighting i had was my massive crusade of 80+ units into abbasides or whatever their name is and that one inquesitioner that attacked me and was carrying burgundy's holy relic. it sucks that time ran out since on my last term i had the shroud of turin just outside of jerusalem. it was a tight race with abbasides for those victory points. i think i'll play this one again.
and i question to any one that's played this one, can you tell if an AI unit is carrying a holy relic?

No. The Hittites migrated from the area north of the Black Sea into Hatti; the central region of modern-day Turkey around 1900BC. The Assyrians on the other hand have been in northeastern Mesopotamia since 3000BC, possibly much longer. The Assyrians however did found some of the Hittites most important cities outside of Hatti.

Here are the two Histories of the Hittites and Assyrians as I know them. You are correct that the Assyrians predate the Hittites. I guess since the Hittites rose to real power first in the same area they were chosen.
Hittites 1900 - 1200 B.C.E.
The Hittites, whose origin is unknown, invaded the region of Anatolia (modern Turkey) in about 1900 B.C.E., imposing their Indo-European language, culture, and rule on the earlier inhabitants. In the 17th century B.C.E., the Old Hittite Kingdom was founded by the leader Labarna (1680-1650 B.C.E.), and Hattusha became its capital. Labarna conquered most of Anatolia, and his successors conquered most of Syria. Babylon was sacked about 1595 B.C.E.
For about a century after the raid on Babylon, the Hittite empire fell into a period of internal strife and weakness. About 1450 B.C.E. the new Hittite Kingdom was founded, and eventually became a great empire under the king Suppiluliuma (1380-1346 B.C.E.).
During the last half of the 14th century B.C.E., the Hittites struggled for control of Syria with the Egyptian empire, until a battle was fought at Kadesh between the Hittite king Muwatalli (1315-1296 B.C.E.) and the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II. Ramses declared victory, but the Hittites maintained control over Syria. The Hittite king Hattusili III (1289-1265 B.C.E.) signed a peace treaty with Ramses and received Ramses' daughter in marriage, thus ending the conflict between the Hittite and the Egyptian empires.
After Hattusili came a succession of weak kings, and the Hittite empire finally fell in about 1200 B.C.E. to a wave of seafaring invaders from the Eastern Mediterranean. The origins of these invaders are not known, but are known by the name the Egyptians gave them - the Sea People.

Assyria 1200 - 612 B.C.E.
About 1200 B.C.E., a wave of invaders known as the Sea Peoples put an end to the Hittite Empire in Anatolia and infiltrated Syria and Palestine. At about the same time, Indo-European people from the northwest of Syria and Semitic groups from the west began to enter the area. The Assyrians, a small state situated around the heavily fortified city of Ahsur, had existed in the area since the third millennium B.C.E. The Assyrians reacted to these invasions by developing a war machine proverbial for its cruelty and became the terror of the entire Middle East.
In the early ninth century B.C.E. Assyria embarked upon a campaign of conquest. Adadnirari II (911-891 B.C.E.) might be called the father of Assyrian imperialism, but even more successful was his grandson Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 B.C.E.), who in campaign after campaign devastated his neighbors with fierce and deliberate cruelty. Assyria reached its height under ruler Sargon II (722-705 B.C.E.), who extended the empire from Egypt to the Zagros Mountains, and northward to the Persian Gulf. To celebrate his greatness, Sargon II built a magnificent fortress-city near Nineveh. The city covered a square mile and enclosed a palace of over 200 rooms. Ironically, the city was completed about the time of Sargon's death in 705 B.C.E., and was never used.
In addition to developing a powerful war machine, the Assyrians compiled all the knowledge of their Babylonian and Sumerian predecessors in a great library at Nineveh. This library is responsible for much of our present day knowledge of these ancient times.
After Sargon, Assyria began its decline as successive rulers devoted more and more of their manpower and wealth to further expansion. Internal strife, and the capture of the capital city Nineveh, led to the end of the Assyrian empire in 612 B.C.E.

Re: Medes -VP Score. That's not a bug, it's because Medes is the only EXP Civ in this Conquest, and they got a Tech from a Hut. Techs give a lot (!, most ppl aren't aware of this - IIRC, about 1700VP for finishing the Tree, equaling several WoWs) of VPs, and being the first Civ with more Techs than the 2 starting ones gives an impressive score lead.

Finished and won the AoD as the Dutch, Monarch and on Victory Points. An extremely nice scenario. No horses until the end of the game but lots of gold, silver, tobacco, sugar and spices. I forgive Firaxis that the Scenario is historically incorrect because it is so well designed.

Oh yeah I figured it out. I just thought it was a cool histograph -- you can't see that kind of result in a normal game.
