Submitted another game!
This time no errors in picking up the wrong save or whatever happened to my previous one (i hope).
It started definitely not as good like the wrong submitted one, but it finished with a slighly better score: 19.030 perhaps.
Nor far as good as the crippled one by my greed of good cities/wonders (i abandoned it before the final phase).
But i better managed the final, researching OVER 1 FT/turn, and burning 3 GPs when at disposal for LB one more, and i made good use of cereal mills, ending with FT 340 or so.
I left 2AIs:
- Asoka, that was the tech leader (i can't explain why) far better even of Mansa, i razed all his core with the buddhist shrine and Sistine, and he never recovered.
- Mehmed, which i bribed against Asoka before attack him, and gave me an help to keep my borders inside the limit.
He managed to begin researching FT, but he built only some SS parts, no trouble.
- Victoria (warrior rushed, out)
- Lincoln (far away, but close to stone, chariot rushed, crippled and finished later)
- Mansa (second victim - cossack+rifles)
- Van Orange (third - gunship+tanks together with Lincoln)
- Hatty (fifth, after the crippling of Asoka)
- Washington (last, i kept the wonderful capital with GW, and this was my main concern for the limit, luckily Mehmed helped).
No final rush, too much RL time requested.
I made almost no use of espionage, but i've learnt that it's better build a security bureau in every city to avoid surprises.
edit:
this one was accepted, and i'm third, for now.
edit2:
dammit, 4th out of 16, for now.
