Well this game is wrapping up nicely here. As I thought, Athens is going to be the last to go legendary. It'll probably be another 40 turns at the current rate as the numbers it's showing right now are inflated from the GA.
IT: I kick off the golden age and change to US. I also lower the slider as we don't need techs but rather cash. I want to make sure we get the modern wonders to speed up our VC. I also cancel the citizen automation in the cities - just make sure you look through the newly growing cities to make sure spies aren't being hired.
Turn 277 - Zara wants biology. I give it to him figuring no harm. This pushes him to friendly and I sign a DP with him. Zara is also no longer busy - I guess he was thinking of attacking us but stopped after we continued to spam rifles? Whoever left Teouhican on permanent rifle duty probably saved our butts
I also trade biology to Zara for communism but I don't adopt it since we want the corporation culture. I also trade with Izzy for democracy since I still can't figure out who she's trying to attack. I also wanted democracy because Saladin's spies are getting very annoying (they keep on pillaging farms).
Turn 278 - I rush buy Rock n' Roll for a little over 3k.
Turn 280 - I get the corp quest. The reward isn't very good but if you're bored during your set, feel free to finish it
I think it gives +10gpt to the corp. HQ.
Turn 282 - I rush buy Hollywood for a little under 3k. I also change back to representation since US is no longer necessary and we can research with representation artists. A tornado also strikes Athens, destroying the odeon - doh! There goes 3 culture
Turn 284 - a GA is born and is sent to Athens. He's sitting outside of the city for now. Just build the great work when the city is at 45k or so (to make sure we don't get a last minute AI declaration trying to stop our VC).
Turn 285 - nada. Zara has also built the Pentagon and both Justinian and Zara have RR. I haven't seen mining inc. founded so if we get an engineer by chance, feel free to found mining inc. Thebes is also about 8 turns from completing the UN (for good measure). I would leave it 1 turn from completion until somebody finishes researching MM as we don't really need it and voting may lead to ... unfortunate consequences (like having to defy a resolution). However Justinian is #2 in pop right now so it probably won't be an issue if we complete it.
I would be very surprised if this game comes back to me.

team - this was a fun game to play for me as well. I think the initial chariot rush on Monty made the game a lot easier though (perhaps too easy). Then again if we didn't rush, we probably would have been boxed in and eventually eliminated by Monty since we were lacking in land and resources in our little penninsula.
