Yes, if I build an executive in a city with forge, factory, and coal plant, I'm only giving up ~250 beakers for those hammers.

@Shannon: yeah I know that it's better to build gold (as you have generally more science multi)... but what I wondered is if you build science multi in all cities... and it seems not, only on the early one 
@ParadigmShifter: hehe, a win is still a win My record for now is around 1800 in immortal so I will be probably far from Paulis and Shannon too ("keep trying" they said 
)

Well I haven't won yet. I really have to do something about Brennus' culture cities, he will win in about 70 turns otherwise.
I have 5 transports which I am filling with marines, I'll have to drop to 0% science soon and rush buy more I think. I built the internet though so that shouldn't stop my chances of winning.
Should be an exciting finale anyway.

Gah, my 1468 finish got rejected too. I really need to figure out what is causing these problems.
How do I uninstall the HoF mod for a fresh reinstall. Is it a simple matter of deleting the mod folder, or do I need to reinstall the entire game?
-edit- it's becomming more and more frequent so if I don't fix it I won't be able to play any more HoF >.<

The best idea is probably to do a fresh install of Civ but you can just delete the HOF mod folder to re-install it. Remember to do a windows update as well (assuming you're using windows)

Should be a straightforward win for me now after razing one of Brennus' legendary cities. Still looking at 1900s for the win date.
I'll be happy if I win anyway will be my first non-cheese AP win on Immortal

Well I launched my ship in July 1917 so looking at 1932 win date.
I should raze another of Brennus' legendary cities just to make sure, if he pops a great artist he could win. But I have a large stack of modern armour and mobile artillery about to pay him a visit.
The only danger is a Gilgamesh stealth culture win, he has 1 legendary city but doesn't show up in the VC screen since Brennus has better culture cities.

Well I won, January 1932. It was a good game, one of the most tense I have played. And only my 2nd Immortal win, the first was Bindy's recent challenge (the quick speed AP one with Justinian).
I played as Darius which looks like the popular choice. Barbs on for me again since I play these games just like a normal game.
Mehmed out-REXed me at the beginning and I had no horses or copper
Eventually got some iron and captured a barb city. Built the Great Library without marble in my capital which was a great production city.
Then I just turtled watching everyone dogpiled Mehmed. I joined in when I teched assembly line before anyone else had rifling. I was first to liberalism in 880AD, took astronomy for observatories and trade-bait, I only had one coastal city.
Shaka vassalised Mehmed before I could do much damage although I did take 4 cities from him, 2 coastal.
When I got scientific method I realised I would have to build a junk city near Ankara to flip Mehmed's 2nd source of oil, which took a long time to flip (built a theatre and then just built culture). But flip it did.
I had aluminium too which helped of course.
Late game had to raze one of Brennus' legendary cities with something like a stack of 30 odd marines in transports to prevent him winning. Stupidly he DoW'd Mansa just before then and moved most of his defenders out of the city, he had 45 defenders at one point and if he had kept them in his city he would have won What a pillock.
At then end I was just hoping Brennus didn't get a Grat Artist to finish off his culture push, but he didn't get one. I landed a large stack of Modern Armour and Mobile Artileery to try and raze another legendary city but that stack was annihilated by endless artillery attacks the turn after it landed
Only other big build was the internet which meant I was tech leader by far in the late game.
Shaka kindly spread Mining Inc to my cities and I founded Sid's Sushi at the end but didn't spread it.
3 golden ages, one from the marathon/snickers event, and 2 more from great people.
I built all the components of the ship my 2nd engine was finished 5 turns before my ironworks city built the life-support.
This was a good gauntlet but took me about 46 hours of gameplay to win
EDIT: Opponents were (lucky dip, I didn't choose the AI):
Mehmed - dogpiled by everyone. Had Sitting Bull as a vassal at that point.
Sitting Bull - vassal first to Mehmed then Shaka. Totally backwards with only 3 or 4 cities.
Shaka - Score leader with vassals Mehmed and Sitting Bull.
Mansa - was pretty backwards too, vassal to Brennus on and off, every time he broke free Brennus seemd to DoW him.
Brennus - 2nd in score, vassals Mansa (most of the time) and Gilgamesh (peaceful vassal)
Gilgamesh - my main trade partner, voluntary vassal to Brennus most of the game.

But not hurry
I'll pass this gauntlet. I haven't enough enthusiasm for now, may be because I tired from my previous game. An Standart map is too big for me especially on the new level. I think I need some practice on smaller map. And, I'll try the new Leader. 
Wealth and research also get hammer multipliers...

Almost gave up on this gauntlet but just as I was about to give it up for good I came across a decent start. The game is going reasonably well. I exanded a lot less aggressively this time, I'm hoping that the better early research is going to save more turns than it costs me down the line when I need to conquer the rest of the land.
The map doesn't seem that hot for mining inc resources either but oh well. I've switched the governor in my head to a new emphasis, fingers crossed the new adjustments work out.

Hmmmm.... This inspired me to try terra, basically for the first time... but i realised i really don't have much idea how to use that map best.
I got astronomy and settled in the new world before others. With 7 cities on 3 off-shore continents (well, 1 continent and two islands really) my upkeep has skyrocketed so much, that i have no chance to keep up with mansa and ghandi in teching. Ghandi is now also founding cities on the new world, and i'm stil 2 techs away from state property. How can i keep up without having access to state property?

Liberate the colonies and trade for their resources when you get a Corp that uses them.
Dynamic
But not hurry
I use other method for excluding expense from Colonies: set No Vassal option.
PaulisKhan

I have all my settlers ready to claim the resources and settle them all on the same turn. Then I immediately gift/trade astronomy to the remaining AI.
The new colony will rarely build a settler in the time that it takes the AI to settle the remaining land in the new world. This usually keeps me safe from accidentaly going over the dom limit.
I have a use for my colonies other than claiming resources at the highest difficulties though.
They are the easiest way of bypassing the wfyabta limit, especially once the AI start liberating their own colonies.
How would that help?
Dynamic
But not hurry
No Vassal option turns off Colonies and Colony expenses for all cities.

Submitted a 1516 finish, don't know if I can be bothered improving it, did too many things wrong and not enough things right, need to go spend some time annoying Ironhead by knocking one of his scores off.
Still not even close to finding a map with +50hpt worth of mining inc resources on it >.<
Good luck Shannon, hopefully you through without crashing this time. I solved my own problem by updating windows.
-edit- I'm still trying to figure out where you gained all those turns on me. You beat me to mining inc by 12 turns but I'm generating 2k more beakers per turn by the end. Maybe I had to devote too many hammers to the war effort when taking out the rest of the continent.
