I can take it tonight (and wouldn't the rest of the game). In other words, I got it. I should be able to play 10.
TimBentley
Deity
I was only able to do 5 turns
Summary: from 78764 to 84423 culture, up to 1151cpt, 14 turns at current rate, we probably can cut it down to 13 turns
1450(0)-I cut out the single scientist at some point; I started a couple of markets and banks to increase income to possibly get RP, but I think rifles to speed builds would be better
29 cities whipped
Sold unnecessary barracks
IBT-Japan captured Iol from America
1455(1)-Found 3 cities, whip 12 cities
IBT-Iroquois, Japan sign peace
1460(2)-Found 3 cities, whip 13 cities
drop some cavs by Nora
1465(3)-Capture Nora without loss
Whip 6 cities
Sign peace with America, get New Curovernum, WM
1470(4)-Found 1 city, whip 8 cities
1475(5)-Whip 4 cities
Notes: I've left a settler unmoved (the other one I accidentally wasted a turn with)
Here is the save.

Cool, i can't play til Monday night - revising for an exam on Monday at the moment! So if anyone wants to take it and play some more turns, or even finish it off that would be fine by me.

Very good, Tim. We'll leave it an open field for jj, el, or barbslinger to grab it this weekend if they want.

Even though we did fall apart a bit here and there I did enjoy this game. It was frustrating being in Despotism for the entire game, but I think that's probably the first time I've won a game without switching govt. Don't think i'll try it again though

Well done, whipping and all. Took longer than it should have, but better late than never as they say. I think I'll be sitting out SGOTM-7, so have fun with it!
