If i dare comparing PR and TA games
I would do so this way:
Phoenixes have their main army (Knights, some HAs) on Kublai borders now
We can also see an attack on Sal is ready, Knights vs. Archers
Meanwhile TA did already attack Gandhi (and Ottomans on the way) around ~7 turns earlier, and will capture Delhi next turn. We can see chinese borders are not far from there
Great conquest planning, by reaching further away AIs (esp. Mao) quicker they relief pressure on their unit movement plans later.
Imo Phoenixes did spend a bit too much time on Russia, having not enuf units ready to take his many cities without delays.
TA know their 12 city Stalin is no problem, cos he's close on their borders.
TA almost completely ignored buildings in their cities besides granaries, here's their Paris with no Academy or Forge and only 4 cottages
They have only 2 libraries total (other in Alexandria, Glib city) and 0 (!) forges. Captured Pyras are so good with Rep, not more needed.
Phoenixes i counted 7 forges and more other stuff like libraries as well.
It's very possible that those differently used hammers result in what we can see on screenies, earlier army and smart movement = very likely 10+ turns faster finish date for TA.
And Phoenixes now also have protective Mao with Feuda and Longbows, i am glad they realised they need much much more army some turns ago.
But for catching TA, it will still be too late
