Game date: 710 AD
Firaxis score: 5601
Jason score: 10140
Time played: 50:48:02
In general strategy of slowing AI's tech pace works fine - no civ has progressed further than Feu and Eng.
Main mistake for late game: delayed GA, which ended just 4 turns before victory. Quote of selected events:
bc 50 discover Feu, next Eng (70%/10t) (no need to hurry Riders & GA)
ad 150 discover Eng, next Inv (70%/10t)
ad 280 discover Inv, next Mno (80%/6t)
ad 400 // riders are producing, but not acting - delay GA
ad 470 -GOLDEN AGE- (Ups... trait by captured wonder still work)
How stupid I was...
