Final spoiler if ok with all:
- What sequence did you use taking down the opposition, or who killed you?
The zulu were a cultural thread to us early on. We wanted to take out their offensive city. When however landing our stack of swords next to the city, we saw too many defenders moving in, so we retreated from the island and started attacking India. Attacking India with horses wasn't a very good idea with the impi either and we simply didnt have enough swords.
This hapened exactly at 1000BC. You can see our stack next to the first Indian city in the previous spoiler.
India was building the Statue of Zeus when we started our attack. We were able to capture it after it produced one AC for India.
We went clockwise around the map capturing our opponents. Against India we used swords + Horses, against the Zulu, we used MI, after that we used knights.
- How many civs were left standing at the end of the game?
Quite some, i can't say from the top of my head anymore, but most of the civ's we had conquered had another city elsewhere.
- How many leaders did you produce?
We were rather lucky with leaders, we had one for every island we captured. 4 or 5 total ?
- Did you complete any wonders, and did they do you any good?
With our first leader, we decided to use it for an army rather than the FP. therefore, we handbuilt the FP. That is the only wonder we built.
- Did you trigger a Golden Age? If so, how?
No
- Government change?
We became a monarchy.
- How far did you research?
We researched chivalry. Our enemies got gunpowder just before we were able to get domination, but we were just in time to get a pretty easy knight victory anyway. After chivalry we didn't research anymore. If we would have needed beter units, we had the backup plan to capture the library.
- Did you use your unique unit?
Nope.
- What went well, and were did you go wrong?
The things we did well that provided us victory i think are the powerfull early expansion with our fast settler factory (non combi), our high worker count and the decision to go for full offensive war rather than building the great library, city improvements, defensive units and whatever one can waste its resources on

The thing that could have been better is maybe city placement as in the knight era, only 2 of our core cities could be used to full potential, the others had not enough space. I am however not sure if we should or could have done this any better. In the earlier times our placement was good.
We also started to ICS the early conquered area's, but that didn't come to full use. This was moreso a kind of plan B security if something would delay our victory and we would need an economy. We had no markets and few libraries. This is not something gone wrong though. It just turned out not to be really needed.
The best thing that turned out very well were my 5 marvelous team mates who gave all their efford to this game. Thank you guys
