Which civ is most fun for a space race?

In one of my production cities I think I had 225.6 production. Not the best for Persia I know but just an example. Base production was 175 I believe (so it comes to 225.6 in golden age it seems). In any case 6 turns for a 1000 hammer spaceship part without the spaceship factory.

Oh sorry Uncle, the constant golden age for Persia was posted by somebody else so they get the credit.

Anyway, Persia's UA is 50% longer golden ages and combine that with Chichen Itza you now get double golden ages. As soon as you get Chichen Itza pop your first or second golden age (through happiness manipulation if you can do it but if not then use a saved great person). Then go for the Taj for another 50 turns of golden age and you'll have plenty of time to get things just to keep feeding it like the Louvre for two free great artist which give at a MINIMAL 12 more turns (3 turnsx2 lengthx2 artist). You'll get to a point where you look up top and see Golden Age 82 turns or some crazy crap like that. At this point you will run away with the game in terms of whatever it is you want to do. Go to war (all your units move 1 extra space and you can buy an army or out tech the computer by building more cities and buy the happy buildings since pop=science). Just be careful if playing a multiplayer game with friends and one of them is going for a 3 city culture win, you will have to eliminate that player (just our produce him in military).

Basically Persia's UA with Chichen Itza gives you the clear cut advantage in production and money so you can make a larger empire (just buy a colleseum in each new city you found and this in turn gives you more population=more science excluding Babylon of course).

Really its gotta be some type of bug. I expect it to be fixed. Even if you aren't playing as persia you can easily get 30+ turns of golden age if you have Chichen and make sure you are in a golden age when Taj finishes building.

Is it not caused by stringing several golden ages together? If thats the case, why would it be a bug? Or does some weird thing happen, like having your almost completed golden age reset?
 
Thanks Kahn. I think in my next game, I'll focus more on production, using your screenshot as a guide. It seems like production does pick up in the modern era (which I haven't entered yet)?

No the bug is the Taj gets a wierd golden age count if you are in a golden age even without Chichen. Get Taj while not in a golden age and its 10 turns. (assuming standard speed) get with chichen or persia and its 15, now try this. Get Taj with 11 turns on your Golden Age with Chichen out. Now you have a 31 turn golden age. If persia it would probably been over a 50 turn golden age. Its clearly a bug.
 
Yea, you get something like (taj golden age + current golden age) x civbonus x chichen. Meaning if you're inside a long golden age when getting taj and are persia with chichen you are looking at 50 turns ga easily.
 
Thank you. I agree, that is clearly a bug, and should be fixed. It also means that I am not going to exploit it.

How do you rate Persia without using Taj Mahal in this manner?
