It was a GREAT game, considering our initial crappy positioning. Good job, everybody!

I never expect Persia to fold like that either. That is why most of my time was getting a favorable war of attrition.
What is funny - 1625 AD and Delhi was producing 71 culture a turn, with 8897 total. Magellan voyage and colusuem not built yet. We should have been able to get a 20000 point city.
I must agree our position was crappy. I was in shock when my initial 20 moves found a city border. I am glad I went for the instant war with Japan. I usually avoid early wars, as they do to more damage to a position. However, this time, I think it was key. 4 civs on our island was ABSURD!

It sure was absurd like hell. It's a good thing we went on the warpath instantly all the way. Otherwise, we'll be forever a medicore power on the edge of that island. 
I think once Persia's initial offensive forces were finished off at Bengal, they had only defensive forces left and was in the process of building knights. When I was rolling thru west of Bengal, they did send some knights but we got more forces. I also got muskets to follow to cover the retreat of our forces (just in case). 
This must be the 1st succession game that's been finished nicely here. Shld we post it to the HOF site?
