I'm about done with my V29 game, it's getting to a point where I can't be bothered to play anymore with no reasonable pollution control available and empty techs starting to show up. I've got most ancient era wonders and pretty much everything later built in my capital, which is also the holy city of all the religions except for Druidism and Scientology which isn't founded yet).
The focus of the game was mostly on building the strongest possible city out of my capital, and an empire to support it.
Save here
The game was played in v29 with a few modified XML files. You can grab those here, if you want it exactly the way it I played it, although most of the change are minor. The only significant ones are the removal of courthouse maintenance cost to make them actually useful when you get them, and changing the advanced Pattakys to use <BuildingClassNeeded> instead of <PrereqBuildingClass> so they're not unduly nerfed on huge+ maps.
Edit: Forum ate the attached screenshots so putting them here:
Some observations:
Persia took hundreds of turns to get out of its minor nation status, and Ethiopia still hasn't. Considering my tech level, it's pretty clear that the tech diffusion system is not nearly strong enough.
The two major AI's vassalised all the smaller ones once they had the tech, whereas none of them would let me do so even when I was obviously the strongest nation around. This doesn't seem seem like smart behavior for the small civs.
Mayans still haven't spread to all the available space on the tundra or islands. They also neglected conquering Persia before it became their vassal, and are similarly ignoring Ethiopia.
