GOTM 55 first spoiler - entering middle ages

Apparently i'm the only one who sought a central placement for Paris and built the core cities at rcp 4-4.5 instead of 3. Such a strategy would be a sure loser in a war game, but in a game set to be scientific from the very start it's not said. I paid my choice with less cities at the QSC mark and with an imperfect ring until war, but the core cities are less corrupted from the start and have room to grow until size 12. We'll see soon if this different strategy will earn something or not.

Conquest, trying for 20K

As might have been predicted...Orleans was a wonderful city. We had resources coming in from our cities in other continents. BUt we didn't have either the nerve to smack England when had a slim chance nor did we have enogh strength to fight the inevitable attacks.

Retirement at 1000 AD

to conclude the musical theme...

Oh Civvers, tell your children not to do as I have done
An' spend 11 hours of misery
In pursuit of 20K

@tR1cKy: Are you going for one of the Modern Era endgames? I'm interested to learn what this experience shows...
