I think the zenon has Merlin working for him -- how else to explain a spaceship in 1054 AD??!!
Actually the landing date was 1055. 1054 was the last sav.
Thanks for the kind comments. This game was difficult to play with the arid map and the barbarian invasions, but MPE was very valuable in this game and catching up in the AD years was fun. The landing date is not particularly good compared to other games, but under the circumstances I would consider it as one of my better Early Landing Games. Here is a log starting in 1300 BC when I decided to play it as ELG:
