I am posting a VV Spanish 3000 B.C.E. UHV game, I will post the actual win as well when I finish it. The game was interesting. My capitol was Madrid and I settled Lisboa and Barcelona. With my initial troops I was able to capture Bordeaux, from the French, and destroy the French settled city of Geneva. This helped insure that France would play no major role in Europe for awhile. I researched compass, guilds, optics, traded for calendar, and researched Astronomy. The rate in which I researched technology was atrocious for some reason. I decided to try and capture Rome. However I found that Rome had been destroyed and a very large Greece had control of the Italian Peninsula, The majority of South Eastern Europe, and of course Greece itself. I looked and I saw that Sparta and Athens had almost all of the classical wonders, including The Great Library. I captured these two cities and Greece collapsed shortly after. My tech level then sky rocketed for only a few turns, when I researched Astronomy, and thus got to the Renaissance, it dropped down again. Eventually Portugal spawned, all of its units spawned one tile east of Lisboa. I agreed to the flip and captured it with a horse archer. I was under the impression that should not happen, but I have the latest version of RFC... So Portugal was out of the way. When the first plague hit I decided to finish of France. I used six swordsmen whom I had prepared for a long war with Portugal, Madrid was constantly producing units. I destroyed Paris, and France collapsed shortly after with their city two tiles North East of Barcelona. After that, in the late 1300's and early 1400's Germany declared war on the Netherlands. I decided to destroy the Netherlands with two conquistadors while it was busy fighting Germany. This proved to be unnecessary as Germany destroyed them without my help. Anyways, the reason I am going into this is because I never destroyed England. by 1670 I had blockaded all of the Eastern Seaboard of North America, and by 1690 I had destroyed their last island cities near Central America, not sure if that counts as North America in RFC.
Anyways, currently the VV is 1703 C.E. however if I finish the game, post the save on the victory date and using the game playback to prove no other European civilizations settled America, can the VV be the time I had control of Aztec and Incan land? Again, I need to finish the game to see the exact date on the playback.
Edition: I finished the game, screen shot of the win is posted below. Three islands just north of South America were colonized by the British, do these islands count as part of North America? If they do not then nobody but myself has colonized North America, in which case the win would be in either in 1510 or 1585. in 1515 I owned all of the cities that the Aztecs and Incans had, by 1585 my cultural borders, and two extra cities, encompassed even more land, though I am not sure that was necessary.
