1901AD space victory - not great at all, but never mind. It was easy and I was way ahead of the AIs..
Thanks for the map. It may have been particularly easy for a Monarch map but this is giving my confidence a good boost. Perhaps another couple of wins and I can try Emperor.

I'm playing this right now, Immortal difficulty. It's 640 AD and I'm doing ok. This is my first game with Gilgamesh. I attacked Izzy with vultures and catapults, and the vultures are now being replaced by elephants. Madrid and Barcelona are taken, but Izzy REX'd pretty well into the tundra and flood plains. Suryavarman is 5 turns from Feudalism and only at cautious, so I need to do something there before Izzy peace vassals.
Alphabet went ridiculously late in my game too, but I kinda expected that with these neighbors and the absence of religions.
Also, a screw up on my part paid off. I picked CoLs over Aesthetics, since I wanted access to my Ziggurats. Whoops. Luckily though I managed to found Confucianism, which has now spread throughout the continent. Diplo consequently has become a lot easier and Izzy was good enough to found the AP for me as I was taking her cities

^^Dude, Ziggurats are accessible with Priesthood, you don't need CoL for them.
Sury is going to be tough. Good luck.
Fricking interesting glitch I just have faced in my game!
All improvements done and workers automated. Now watch this:
Automated workers stand over my quarry:
Same turn by the end:
They
fricking
built workshop
over my Quarry!!!
Took stone from me and converted 1
4
tile into just 4.
And yes "automated workers leave old improvements" is checked.
This just made my day.

God, I hate late game phase. Why oh why is it so tedious?
I call this a win.
26 cities, 3 vassals, clear tech superiority in 13xx AD. I could finish it, if there was any fast way to do that.
And here comes question, that I probably should start a new thread for:
When do you stop whip? What is break-point in food/production ratio where whip loses it's effectiveness? What civic you'd prefer to stick with to the end of game?
Cast System Workshops are sweet, but do they beat slavery?
What's better for this city for instance? Build on fully developed workshops or whip on Biology enhanced farms?
I know, late game saves are much harder to judge, any input will be appreciated.
