Interesting analysis as usual, Thrasy. I agree with some of it... but definitely not with other parts.
If this is the case, then what do you think was different about this game? I personally am thinking that Justin suffered from too much available land here, which induced him to crash his economy. I also noted in the AHs for Game 2 of this season that his peaceful win dates were not very impressive, suggesting that he might not do so well in economy against more peaceful fields. I think that was the case for him here.
You think so? They were Pleased at 0 relations this game. Fred ran a different religion from Ramesses all game and most of the time was STILL unable to plot war. It takes very little for the two to be fast friends on this map.
Justinian completely crashing his eco and falling a full era behind the other civs: definitely outlier. The reason Justinian is so strong is not because he makes religious allies (that was in AP times), it's because in spite of not being Financial, he's one of the best eco leaders in the game... with warmonger tendencies!

The one thing we didn't get to see, and which should happen a fair amount of times is conflict between Ramesses and Augustus.
