The most impressive to me was that i used right under 9 hours while ironhead used over 76 hours! Though as i said my entry was rather suboptimal towards the end, loads of shift + enter. Will probably do a writeup later if people wants...
After ghandi i said i decided to tech cannons and grens, this is not entierly true... First Asoka vassalized voulentarily(since i was on time constraint i accepted despite it probably leading to lower final score), later on mansa also vassalized voulentarily. I started taking out darius the turn i got liberalism(325 AD, I traded away education when i was 7 turns from liberalism because the AI then had massive amount of gold i wanted, I libed for communism which got me a gspy to start my first GA to allow me to switch civics for free(my first civic switch since burrecracy making for 3 turns of revolt total this game), i got into free religion(never used pacifism OR or theocracy though they might have benefited me some), state property(that really made my economy power up, together with the GA) and caste system(serfdom might have been better but the ability to run artists was helpful if nothing else, I also generated a few GP's after this point, though in general GP usage was very poor throught the game, i spent my first GS on an academy, used another to bulb chemistry and after that 6 went to golden ages(the last two were very late, one to switch into nationalism and one to switch to free speech))). He fell quickly to what was then an army of trebs and praets with a few muskets and some maces. I also had some knights by the time it was over(stole guilds from mansa with EP i think). I took out pacal(who was already at war with roosvelt and fredrick) with mostly knights and the rest of my praets + assorted army(the knights blitzed through and took most of the cities i belive, pacal didn't have engineering so i could just smash knights up against his Lbow defended cities and hope for the best). I captured 4 of pacals 5 cities in 4 turns i belive, however he vassaled to roosvelt before i could vassalize him(or take his last city) by myself...
This vassalization gave me a bit of a problem(in hindsight it wasn't really much so), since if i wanted to take out roosvelt next this ment having pacal in my back, This wouldn't really have been a problem since pacal was very weak but whatever, i don't like having defense in my cities
. I teched biology before steel so i didn't get any cannons until about the time i was ready for the next war(upgraded what was left of the trebs from the darius + pacal war, i should probably have brought cats since they deal better colleteral and my trebs just died anyways). The next war was against pacal, I captured 3 cities on the first turn, mostly with knights and another couple in 2 more turns. Then it was a bit of a trek to his inner cities but eventually he capitulated too.. Ramsess who was his vassal also capitluated after taking a couple of his cities. By this time i automated all my workers and cities, this probably dropped my research rate considerably since i was generating wealth in a few cities(as well as running loads of merchants) hence not allowing me to continue with really high slider anymore, but the goal was just to finish by the deadline not to milk the most anymore. This is also why i decided to go for roosvelt next despite the fact that not going for him would probably have increased my final score by a couple 100K(since i would have hit the dom limit later). His 4 cities fell quickly(in like 5 turns since one of my stacks ment for one of his cities had a run in with a mini sod and hence didn't have enough firepower left to take out the last city by itself). On the turn i won i also killed pacal just for good measure. I drafted a few rifles to speed up the war, although this probably decreased my final score, same with running free speech and setting all my cities to run culture last couple of turns.
As mentioned my capital was a monster producer and burrecracy capital. It generated 100-200 beakers in the midgame(for most of the game i was running 100% due to begged/traded/plundered gold), it was my only cottage city(though i guess zaras capital with double gems can be called a commerce city as well), the rest was farmed(and eventually windmilled).
I used pretty much all my early game EP to steal masonery and polyetism from elizabeth, later i ignored her with EP since she had invested quite a bit against me to counter my EP, I also stole guilds and optics i belive as well as monotheism towards the end.
An example of how much gold i got from the AI:

@ Denniz: I have some intermideate saves, is there any way to get those into the hof? I didn't dare upload them together with the submission since my connection was so poor... I see that the combat log for the early turns are missing, this would probably be fixed if i gave you all the saves...
However, everyone except Brennus likes me (pleased or friendly), and I have some solid allies at +10 or +11. So I'm teching radio and then mass media for the UN, have a great engineer stashed to speed up the build. EDIT: First to liberalism as well, taking scientific method 
My connection here is awfully slow and as such uploading even a 500 Kb save is hard...
