4-city NC (don't remember exactly, t7x something)
t96 Education
t147 SciTheory
t155 Freedom (a mistake, should have picked order: had -30 ideology pressure before t200, and w/ 6 cities it would have been nice to skip commerce)
t189 Plastics
As you can see, my 6th city didn't really kick in until after Plastics. Was just a problem until then. It shouldn't take 42 turns from SciTheory until Plastics. However, If you´re able to get 2 GS from faith and finish rationalism, it would have only taken ca 25t after labs to win w/ 6 cities. Didn't accelerate until the very end, 6 cities paid off from t200 having 1500bpt after labs.
Big Ben, Hubble, porcelain were only wonders. Everything else went too early. AI did a good job in this game. Haile and Dido kept track with me until I started to bulb.
No money meant hard-build everything, adding turns w/o science buildings. Well, I had a lot of money but had to buy happiness and peace. CS were hotly contested. Realised I would be GS starved in this game (no religion, no pisa, few garden), so used 0 GS before Flight. Had 12 total, 9 natural, 1 porcelain, 2 Hubble. Should have tried to delay porcelain to like t22x to maybe squeeze out 1 more natural.
Policies: Tradition, 3 in Commerce, 3 in Rationalism, 6 in Freedom (despite winning WF having 2 cultural cs ally almost entire game, guilds early, having El Dorado etc). Could have gotten 1 more in rationalism, but didn't bother towards the end. Pretty sure that city #6 cost me a final policy. Stupid me was to attracted when I saw mountain/river spot with Solomon mine and 6 fish/pearl spot still available.
Took 1 city that Theodora settled in "my" territory early around t130. Stole banking when 2t left to research myself:roll eyes:
Was attacked 6 or 7 times (twice <150), and wanted a war of my own, so no military was quite quickly gone.
I tried to help Dido take Thebes, but she spent 150 turns at war to grab it. Egypt died right before end, so didn't have time to liberate.
Science funding due to pass next vote, but really wanted to end the game. Never had control over WC (Ethiopia founded 120, had Globe and Pisa before 130).
All in all, quite the comedy of errors putting me nicely at the bottom of this one...
