Part II of the Finale -- Operation Nikita
Getting all the techs means that two of the AI has learnt all the techs as well ... how fortunate they have yet to launch! I have to send my spies out.

Turn 600, 1990 AD: Wilbur Wright has been born in Gao!
The Victory Screen reveals HC is the closest to launching ... with only a chamber left ... first I must find where ...
Here it is:
Tried to sabotage twice ... and both failed .... geez! 10k gold for nothing ... I am about to resigned to my fate. with 3 turns left, my next Nikita is 2 turns away from Cuzco ... it will be a close one.
Then, Mansa decided to give me a helping hand, all on his own accord:
Turn 602, 1992 AD: Mansa Musa has declared war on Huayna Capac!
Turn 602, 1992 AD: Mao Zedong has declared war on Mansa Musa!

Ha, war! I loved it!
However, the Chambers is still 1 turn away from launching ...

Whew!

Then, suddenly, Cuzco is no longer building the chamber ...

Nikita saves the day again:

Turn 607, 1997 AD: Confucianism has spread in Madrid.
Then, same thing happens: Timbutku switched away from Life Support. Arrgh!
Fortunately, this time, it is relocated not too far away, and Nikita found it:
Heh, babe, you can run, but you can't hide!
And what's more, the shift also buys me 12 turns instead 5 turns ... how stupid can AI be?

After which, is a matter of monitoring HC (who shifted chambers to a city needing 40 turns to complete, and thus is no longer a threat) and Mansa. I did have to spend the cash a few times, and one of them failed, but I managed to keep Mansa from launching.
Meanwhile, Mansa had been capturing HC's cities, while my two production powerhouse are pulling round-the-clock shifts to produce the last 3 parts.
