Submitted a 1645AD space win, which really, REALLY should have been a 1640AD space win. I spent sooo much time to find a way to squeeze out 5 casings in 3 turns, Stasis in 2 turns, and Life support in 1 turn. Where of course the two latter are more tricky. Check F1 and all cities. Yep, good to go.
Next turn, place finished space parts. Huh..? Noticed it said 4 of 5 casings. WTH?
Any guesses to what happened? I was well puzzled, and more than a little annoyed.
But all in all not a bad game, despite this extreme annoyance. Managed to get a 5-GP Golden Age. May be the first time, not sure. Got plenty of GS after that too, so spent two on Computers (kept it for a long time as I had extra
and 
), one on Military Science, and one on Communism.
Land got darn close again, it's always a heart-attack moment towards the end. Without really thinking about the consequences, I built Sistine on the very last turn, thinking it should be safe now. But had forgot that the city I settled late to grab Aluminum (amazingly all three sources were outside my territory, despite controlling some 70% of the map) hadn't expanded borders, and I kept removing the artist the game stupidly deployed each time the city grew. But the place was working quite a few other specialists, and it almost screwed me. Ended up with 434 of 435 tiles. Phew!
+12
from Cereal Mills was nothing to write home about, but +44 
from Mining Inc was quite decent 
A question: Is there something wrong with Global Warming on Highlands maps? The first one struck in the 1400s, and at the time almost no city had negative
. 5-6 tiles got busted during the game, including capital gold. But in fairness two of them were mountains, which didn't matter too much 
5-6 tiles probably doesn't sound like much, but it's a Duel sized maps, so there aren't too many of them.

Go Skirmish-rush! 
And you apparently want to dramatically reduce this success rate to 50%??? 
No really, good luck with your game! If you beat mine, then you beat it. If not, then I'd still say congratulation for completing another deity game! 
Some symbolic meaning in a medic losing out to a near-dead archer I guess.
