In this game, I tried to play through tradition and once again I became convinced that I did not understand how to do it correctly. I sorely missed scouts, units, hammers, etc. Obviously, you need to choose and build only the most necessary things, but it's my style to build everything at once
Liberty 6 cities would be perfect on this map, at least for me. and I'm sure the result would have been better
Instead, it's a tradition, 4 cities. An illustrative example is that I found Jerusalem only on turn 78. Before that, at 63, I found ruins with faith and founded the pantheon (DF). Otherwise, I probably would have been left without religion)
I decided to finish my diplo in one round, but since I hadn't done it before, I was very cautious. Before PP, I learned not only aesthetics (for rationalism and Oracul), but also banking and even architecture (6 turns). The latter was a clear mistake, and it was at this point that I lost to Rhodro. As a result, the PP is only on turn 143, which is of course very late. I also started the conquest late, but I figured it out in time and made a 2nd army (3 crossbows + 2 elephants) for the Netherlands. 1st (4 crossbows + 3 elephants) destroyed Polynesia, Incas, Songhai and Assyria. And later Egypt.
To transition to the atomic age, I did not need the 2nd Scientist from faith(171 turn), and I also postponed the construction of the Porcelain Pagoda and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, as there were enough scientists. I could have gone to at least turn 168 when I had the last necessary scientist, but I held back to combine it with the conquest.
On turn 172, I built Oxford, first captured Ashur and Amsterdam on turn 173, after which I moved into the atomic age with the help of free technology from Oxford. As a result, on the next turn, the whole world (me, Russia and Egypt) immediately jumped from the industrial (3,2,1) to the atomic era (6,4,2 + UN). Thus, I saved 2 turns between the PP and the vote. (Rhodro has 48 turns (136-184), I have 46 (143-189).
P.S. I built 30 wonders and captured all the other 9. Gr. Lib (Ashur) and Stone (Egypt) were taken away from me same turn finishing the construction process, and Egypt also built Hanging Gardens. Apart from the most recent wonders that I didn't have time to learn, the only thing I didn't have was Big Ben. I didn't open up commerce, because I didn't have time to build a wonder anyway. I opened aesthetics, exploration and piety for the Ufizzi, the Louvre and Gr. Mosque,and captured the Pyramids and Zeus.
