I achieved a Space Ship Victory at the millenium, but only barely. Early on I conquered three continents and they supplied all the strategic resources I needed for victory. That allowed me to build peacefully for a good while. I built the U.N.and at one point I might have managed a Diplomatic Victory, but I mishandled that and by the time the option to vote came everyone was furious with me.
Victory seemed assured via Space but then I suffered very significand land invasions on all three of my continents from the Mongols and the Dutch. Even my home continent! I managed to kill all the invaders but it nearly depleted my forces and by the time peace was declared I was weary indeed.
Thanks to whomever made the map. It was a good game.
