I can see this adventure ended. Congrats. I will follow next chalenge with more enthusiasm. 

One question: did I understand well that you voted for Augustus for Diplo victory? Why?
Sorry, I didn't make it clear. My brain wasn't working too well - posting late in the night as usualI voted for Augustus to be Sec-Gen, just so that we could start passing resolutions, such as compulsory Free Religion just to give Mehmed another kick on the bottom

dont forget on the "What we did good" list: Awesome dimplomacy to keep us alive![]()
I think you probably did a bit too much slaving (just because you can whip every 5 turns doesn't mean you should) and it cost you in terms of economy, which then led to late expansion.

I think the "DO NOT SWITCH CIVICS DURING A GOLDEN AGE" thing is so ingrained in us we tend to forget it doesn't matter when you're spiritual. I know I have forgotten some times.![]()
One minor point: being religious, I would have swtiched to Universal Sufferage during the golden age. Towns would then give 2 hammers, booosting production dramatically. Research would suffer, but I see that you were researching Flight at the time, so I presume you already had your space race techs. At that stage diplomacy with Augustus would not have mattered as much and you could have shaved a turn or two off building those final space ship parts.
