How do you play such a huge game on ROM/AND? In the modern era AI turns on that map would take upwards of 20 minutes on my computer.

After that transport killed my badly damaged missile cruiser they figured there was no more time to get back in there turn. No wonder they didn't give them a nice destroyer or something like that, lazy bastards. Anyway they did not survive

How in the name of god do you have that many great generals, with that many promotions, and still only have that little slice of territory?
I have a definite warmonger style of play, but I don't think I've ever had a legit 100 XP unit, let alone multiple ones. And the games where I have multiple 50+ xp units are games where I've taken over enormous chunks of the world.

First I like to choose a state religion nobody else has. Early day's that means I am playing defensive to counter all the stacks they throw at me.
Second most of the units you see are fighting on the front since they were archer/maceman.
Third the first promotion they get is leadership.
Fourth Cyrus is charismatic = -25%XP needed for a promotion
Fifth Cyrus is imperialistic = 100% great general emerge.

If you insist. In my experience, however, trying to make great general units which are combat oriented (IE not units dedicated to being healers,) will invariably end up getting them killed unless they fight nothing but mop-up battles against max-collateralled defenders.
And even then eventually the RNG is going to catch up to you.
But lets say it didn't. You gave each unit a GG, which is 25 XPs, and leadership was one of the GG promotions you gave them, which is a smart move, imo. Let's further assume that each unit already had a modicum of XP prior to having the GG attached, call it 5, 3 from a barracks, and 2 more from theology or vassalage. That starts the unit with 30 XP. You have GGs which have thus earned 123, 119, 115, 75 and 69 XP, or a total of 501 points. Leadership means min of 2 XP per win, so if they fought nothing but battles which earned 2 XP per win, that comes to 250.5 individual fights. We'll round down to 250 for the sake of argument. Less, obviously, if you have actually had them fight non-trivial opponents.
You *might* convince me that you never lost a single battle out of those 250 if they were all versus units in pure clean-up mode. You might also convince me that you had other great general units which did in fact have the RNG catch up to them and die. You'll never convince me that you fought normal battles with those units and didn't get have at least one of them end up on the wrong end of the RNG.

But that is not what you suggested in your first post.
I have done some reloading. Otherwise none of them would have existed anymore. What do I say? I would never have been able to take screenshots of that era.
Is reloading something bad when playing only for fun?
With that I can live. AI's that say I do not follow the right religion while I control the buttons of the game and can travel back in time and can kick the AI's out of my window are not smart and deserve to be cheated upon. 
May be in my next games I am ready to give up my immortality.
At least my post count improves
