Played a second game with the same settings but this time against Arabs, China, Zulu, & Mongols. 3 cows, 2 wheat, all on plains, but lots of water at the start.... Exact same finish date 1780 - though much higher score due to decent expansion. Mongols and China didn't make it out of AA until I hit IA and needed coal. Hand-built everything - not a single leader throughout game. Got Colossus, Pyramids, Mausoleum, GLib, and everything I wanted through MA & IA. Research slowed for a few wars in mid IA, never reached Modern Age.
Fun challenge, though I still don't know if I'd have any chance in a Deity military-heavy game.
Gold award goes to Spoonwood with a 1485AD finish.
Silver award goes to krakedhalo (1780AD) and bronze to CKS (1804AD)
Thanks to Spoonwood for kicking this one off. I'll set up a thread for the next one but we'll need a challenger and a seconder to get the competition rolling.
