Sorry for posting this here but I only want people that play in GOTM to answer this question as I consider them the best players.

I have noticed how people can get to the final sciences way earlier than I can. ie: getting spaceship built by 1500-1700 etc.

I have trouble keepinng a good pace with science, what are peoples tips and tricks to science.

I usually start ahead of the AI in sci up until Code of laws (I usually use the oracle to get that) but I fall down mid game.

any help appreciated.
 
Your apology is noted but this still isn't the right place for this question. It should be moved to the Strategy & Tips forum.

If you want to discuss a particular GOTM game, and how the science worked in that game, you could post your experience with the game in the appropriate GOTM spoiler thread, and compare it to other people's experience. That's the idea of GOTM.
 
Just to add to DaviddesJ's reply, I'm pretty sure that GOTM players range over *all* skill levels. There's no particular requirement to play a GOTM other than to enjoy Civ and to be willing to give the GOTM game a go. So I think the assumption that GOTM players are particularly better than others is probably not correct. Your question is certainly a good question, but you'll get just as good advice if you post it to the strategy and tips forum. Probably better advice as more people will read your question there.
 
Yep - the strategy & tips forum is the most help to you. :) I'll leave this here though, because it will be a useful reminder to other players with the same question.

The strategy & tips forum is HERE. You can ask questions and get responses.

For those who don't simply want to ask questions, you can go to the Strategy Articles forum HERE. This has s series of articles on various aspects of Civ4. Please note - this is for articles, and debate / questions on clarifications of points in the articles - it isn't the place to start threads to ask questions.
 
well then I will rephrase the question...

in the last 8 GOTM's I have had problems producing good science mid game. anyone got some ideas on how to produce good sci mid ages with reference to the GOTM's

excelent.........
 
The eighth one is still running. If anyone is going to respond to this they'd better stick to the first seven. However, I agree with the previous comments. I don't see why the GOTMs are a special case, and the spoilers for those games should give plenty of ideas on how they were played.
 
I tried GOTM 8 (til my computer played up) and I'm definitely not 'one of the best players'.
 
@Tech_Step - to see how good GOTM players develop good science research, check out the GOTM results charts (Here is a link) and see who wins the Tech intensive Awards, spaceship and diplo. Then check out that game's spoilers for posts from these players. For CIV GOTM5, DaveMcW scored a 1200 ad Spaceship victory, and provides some details in his Spoiler entries.
