due to lack of time i won´t finish this. i was heading for a domination or conquest victory.
continuing from spoiler #2:
bc 950 pop Philo
800 complete first ring of 6 towns. research Monarchy. revolt, draw 4 turns of anarchy. build first ship. become monarchy in 710.
630 first suicide galley makes it through and i meet France. Up Lit, down all other higher techs, know the rest of the bunch, 7 towns. big difference, Germany does not even know Alpha yet...
630 connect iron, 570 horses
with the lack of luxes i realize i need some WH, so i instigate some tied peace deals on the other continent. how nice that the setting gives all the possible AA golden ages (from units) on my continent, and all the middle ages ones on the B continent. set one town on GLH and maximize its production.
470 i had given Math to everyone in the hope someone will research Construction for me, and there it is. trade for it, keeping currency as monopoly. get into MA and draw Eng not bad. gift Persia up, but unfortunately they get the same.
oops, forgot my gifting up will cause the barb uprising. maybe should have cleaned that camp first

330 Persepolis builds Pyramids, and i hear the horns of war.
250 well timed break of our alliance by Persia. troops were prepared, attack starts. start reverse coalition, gift Babs up and they get Mono. trade for it.
GLH prebuild fails, Nidaros is first. At least on the same continent.
150bc during siege of Persepolis Pyrrhus spawns with 3rd elite victory. 110 take it in 2nd attempt.
70bc 3 WFs operating
50bc build FP in Persepolis
30bc first lux connected, silks
10bc due to my lack for happiness, i finish construction of the HG
30ad French build TGlib
90ad 2nd lux connected
170ad get another MGL with the 12th elite victory. i think i´ll wait for Sun Tzu´s
210 Babs build GW, maybe i should have instead have avoided that with the leader
finally manage to kick off my GA! needed to attack an archer for that purpose

income jumps to +300gpt
270 take Nidaros with TGL, now i can shipchain in the east and safely cross the sea in the west!
decide to make an end here, as i am definitely lacking the time to finish it. kinda like the
final picture though:
3rd lux to connect in 2 turns. galleys, markets and troops in queue. Feud in 4 at only 50% without a single lib. MGL for TGL waiting and ready. 5 sources of WH.
plan was to start my own war on continent beta soon, where everyone is weak and small. make a domination or conquest with knights. goal was a domination date around the one of Piu in his (another) excellent game.
retirement score would be 282 in 270ad.
