Well, the sugar is going to rot if no one harvests it, so you might wander across it that way

Domination under free market with corps, Infantry & Artillery?!? :-D
Or would it be a Cavalry rush ?

No artillery either, that requires physics!

Didn't believe but it's true. The tech tree ends here.
So, this game should be an early game. Cultural will be too late, people will run over you. You can't build the UN and the AI doesn't prioritize it, and obviously no Space Race, so Conquest or Domination.
CHEESE!

What happens if the game lasts to the point where the only research option is Sailing? Is this a loss?

Then he will have to run a 0% per cent Science Slider and remove any specialists creating beakers.

I will clarify everything with this! Making a deal with the devil makes things "Interesting" on each side of the contract 
No idea what will occur, but understand in my view Hannibal is one of those leaders with NO ethics or Morals!

Me, cheat in an RPC? How could you say that
Yep, it's just interpretation of Da Rules, isn't it ?

This is a VERY fun map to play!
Spoiler :
for peace, and DOWed Pete. He's down to 2 crap cities in 630AD, I'm teching engineering, and Monty is going for aesthetics 
with an army of axes, swords, and chariots. This should be fun!

Hannibal's Deal with the Devil: Part I
Ah folks, the devil can certainly tempt you right away! Fish right there for the taking and we have the technology!. But He thinks it would better to move our warrior first
Argh, tis' a desert hill. Not looking good for a productive internal empire.
Bah, let's settle ontop of that funny looking tile there, good for 3 commerce with the financial trait!
And we meet the first rival of ours!
I pushover if I hear the rumors correctly, but where be this American gent.
Pretty damned close, with a nice landlocked capital. Within RUSHING distance if yer vermin follow me drift.
Speaking of rushing, well it plum slipped me mind!
Tech: BW/wheel/agriculture/AH/Pottery/Mysticism
And before we find the results of BW, another leader
Arghhhhh, more fodder for the Cartheginian army!
Like I was saying, dost we have copper.
We do, We do!
And here we spout of our mouthes about always letting the population grow before building a settler. But here we aint got no land to work, so we grow to Population 2, build a worker, then chop out our first settler, looking to beat the Americans to the copper
Aye mateys! We quickly build a mine and road!
But doest we have have horses!
Aye, we do, we do.
SO we stopped right there after Mysticism with some decisions to make. Most importantly, what to research next
Those Numidean cavalry units look mighty tempting about now! Strong anti-melee units with a free promotion!
Our other question be what to do about the American?
Do we want to try Masonry and make a run at the Great wall which would be mighty useful when bringing troops across the great land bring the devil has promised us! Or do we go and chop/chop/chop out a massive axe force and storm America. How about that Stonehenge I hear about and the free culture/happiness in each city!
What be all yer opinions on these fine decisions!
