Neolithic loitering - delaying ancient age to cover more ground?

A game can end on pollution? Playing on marathon (whatever the 600 turn game is) I find that I blitz through the final era before I see any significant effects from pollution.

Does the AI get to mid-late industrial for you? I find the infrastructure that causes pollution is not that necessary. Seems to boost yields by 10-20% but you could just build more districts. The AI loves infrastructure though and they get you to 20k pretty fast.
