GOTM 121 Spoiler

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=406106&postcount=37Has there been any mathematical research been published (I am pretty sure that it has been done) about when is the right time to stop?
As Jokemaster mentioned 2% is a good rule of thumb.
Note however, that the above post, the 2% rule of thumb, the formula on CFC website, and the score_calculator on the CFC website are all for scores of GOTMs up to GOTM 89. GOTMs 90-92 have no result available and starting with GOTM 93 a new formula is being used. I will start a new thread about this.

People may like to follow this threadSo I have a question about scoring: According to the formula, it clearly is "More game scoring = good" and "more turns played = bad". Has there been any mathematical research been published (I am pretty sure that it has been done
A period of further expansion, wonder building, and most importantly start of conquest. Cities of PortAmerica and PortMongolia got established in this period. I have troops in both America and Mongolia with 2 Mongol cities taken already. PortEgypt is only a few turns away. PortGermany could have been here already if not for a barbarian legion killing my settler on route.

Most impressive stats, at least to me. I wasn't expecting my approach to be competitive, but I did not realise how much of a gap would open up, on all sorts of numbers, even a lesser one such as average population per city. The Pyramids and not fussing too much with precise city locations or roads, look big good choices. Maybe other things too.
One question is what the settlers (notably more than 1/city) do? Are they mainly marching east or west?

Really impressive indeed! And I am very surprised I managed to keep up with Ali in conquering until now! Not for much longer though, I haven't sent anyone towards Germany or Egypt so far. And I'm well behind in cities, population and units...

It's a big question mark. Under Monarchy, you can have more settlers because they only eat 1 food per turn. But I've just switched to Demo in 980 AD (from Monarchy) and now they eat 2 food per turn, so now it's a mad scramble to settle/rehome (or rejoin, as a last resort) most of them and to try to prevent cities from starving and losing settlers. When still in Monarchy, I was trying to expand ASAP while building up a roadnet for future trade: I'm planning to spam caravans before starting conquest of the Americans and Mongols (mainly to fund my future army). I'm not even close to starting conquest because I concentrated in buffing up my homeland instead of sending settlers early. I'm unsure how much time it will cost me, but I'm confident I'll be able to make up for that.

Thank you
Pyramids definitely was a big help. My city locations were quite precise and placed to take advantage of 2+ specials. I did not bother with roads initially because I did not think they will be worth it. Now I have a road network around the tri city area (London, Nottingham, and Hastings) and developing them around the big lakes. Another factor was not switching away from Monarchy to Republic. It did hurt my science but it helped the expansion due to lack of unit cost and 1 vs 2 foods per settler.
They are marching to a destination which is for the most part east and west. (I had never used the GOTO command so extensively before.)
With one domestic delivery you get two routes: one at source and one at destination unless either city already has 3 routes.
Communism is a great choice for this game. I am behind in that department. I went after Sun Tzu and that tilted my tech away from democracy. Once I got Feudalism, Theology and Chivalry were too tempting and too close not to pursue. Fortunately for me, I have a whole bunch of caravans arriving in PortAmerica soon and even though most of them are no longer demanded they still get me a decent payout. I should be in Communism or Fundy by 1250.

Close one...
The Pyramids were crucial. Having them meant that I could churn settlers in my pheasant cities very quickly and recover almost instantly the population loss. At 1000 AD, I had 101 cities: to me, there's no doubt I'll be able to put that strong base to a good use.
Pyramids+HG=Win
Same here. Although the current SG does use goto quite enough too.
That's what I thought too. I was deadset on Commy from day 1... but when I saw the amount of science Demo was bringing in with my silk cities, I could not resist. It's probably the fact that I've put growth and trade first before war (PortaAmerica/Mongolia are both not founded yet, but settlers are en route and are closely followed by a series of vans) that influenced my choice in the end. But I'm not going to complain about the results

Major Advantage

Oops, sure. Is there a quick way to check the number of trade routes instead of clicking though all cities?
I delayed exessive trade until America and Mongolia were conquered, their cities grown and the railroad network was established, allowing 1-turn-deliveries with high payouts between Mongolia and America.
Communism was nice, but even communist settlers are hungry, so the forest-cities couldn't support more than one settler each. When Bach was built (intentionally in Canterbury) I was switching between Fundy (war and money) and Demo (science and trade).
No there is not.
Indeed. Only in despotism and Monarchy settlers eat one food per turn. Once the switch is made a lot of settlers have to be dealt with quickly. Without preparation this could lead to some losses.
Major Advantage
Prince
I't just like almost everything else in this game: If you want to get more (trade arrows, less corruption) you have to give more (food to settlers).
I eventually finished the game after endless (rather boring) turns of maxing out the score.

I probably won't be able to finish this game. I'm still in 1090 AD, conquest is not even close from starting, and I have way too much to do in the next few weeks in order to finish quickly enough. And a deadline would be useless since I have exams in June, so I guess I'll skip this one.
