I think you all agree now that regent level is not a serious challenge, IF you have have a decent plan and know what you are doing.

In this game, we were handicapped in the units we could build, but nonetheless won easily. Once we had a productive core, we could outproduce the AI civs. And with the second core around the Forbidden Palace, we were unstoppable.

Thanks to everybody participating and I hope at least some of you will do more micromanaging in the future.
