Played "Rise of Rome" as Alexander of Macedon on Monarch level and won by time. I read an earlier post here where someone playing this one on Deity as Rome quit because it was too easy?

The trick with this one isn't a locked alliance but a locked war. (Carthago-Roman or Greco-Persian). As Greece I was in a constant diplomatic struggle to prevent Rome's superior legions from invading;the Persians had quite a few units. I tried for a Domination win but my reliance on Carthage to soak off Persian units left me in a neck and neck race. I also kept Rome at bay with alliances against the minor nation. This left Carthage with a superior position. Instead of attacking Carthage I just went for the points.

As an interesting aside, I took the Persian city of Susa (adjacent to Persiopolis,the capital) with my Alexander's Army of Hoplite and Hector's Army of Heavy Cavalry. As they rested in Susa for the big push, the citizens of Susa deposed my government.
This cemented my choice of not precipitating war with Carthage.

Messopotamia as Egypt.
Level: Monarch
Score: 6894
Victory: VP (5745) at 490BC (turn 120).
Wonders: Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus and Great Lighthouse

The starting point was pretty bad: a lot of desert. I soon ran into Pheonicia, and declared war on it. By Archers and Spearmen I quickly eliminated it by 2000BC. Then I declared war on Babylon, captured a couple of its cities. In the mean time Mycenae sent a warrior to try to sneak attack one of my captured cities. What were they thinking? I quickly signed a peace treaty with Babylon, in exchange got one tech and 3 cities. Not bad so I can focus on Mycenae.

Then Sumeria and Hitties wanted to sigh a MPP with me. Why not? They soon joined the war. It turned out, however, that Mycenae was on an isolated top-left island, so the war was quite pointless. Nobody was really fighting. However the fun came when Babylon and Medes signed alliance with Mycenae. Babylon was pretty much suiciding, so I captured two of its cities and Sumeria finished it off. Medes was stronger but I've eventually got swardmen and cavery, and it was on its way to die ugly. But before I really could do much the game ended at 490BC.

it was a fun game.

Beat Age of Discovery on Monarch as Spain. Measley 1209 points. It didn't feel like monarch, felt like emperor. The RNG was always against me, and for at least half of my 101 turns, I was at war, as a protestant monarchy. Didn't like this conquest too much.

Rise of Rome as Romans
Level: Monarch
Score: 6320
Wonders: Colossus (from Egypt), The Great Lighthouse, The Oracle, The Mausoleum of Mausollos, The Temple of Artemis, Bacchanalia

Not much to say. Legions are just unbeatable. At around 30BC eliminated Carthage, and then quickly got rid of Egypt. Then Celts and Goth. At this point I was about 51% the polulation and 49% territory, just one step to Domination. I could have just built some citizens and created several cities (there are still a lot of furtile land close to my empire), but with a mighty army (including 3 armies) I just went ahead to attack Macedon. Just after capturing one city the victory screen popped up.

By the way, I researched "Future Tech 1", which seems to have some factor in the Score (note the 0.5).

Sword of the Shogun, Regent, Domination. I liked this one the most, it was fun and cool.

I haven't played a Conquest in a while. I got a great score on the Middle Ages scenario because I was able to successfully return both the Holy Grail and The Crown of Thorns to Jeruselam at the same time when I already had 20000 VP.

I also won the Meso by 1 city culture- the sacrifices.

Both games at Reagent
