I win.
And my score ranks me as good as King Henry VIII !? That's a bit of a suck-in. That's late starts for you, I fancy Caesar Augustus would have been pressed to play that well.
The password to the turn you posted is "1", if you want to see the replay, final statistics etc.
97 hours of gameplay. 80 of those I think were spent deploying 20 zeppelins to the same reconnaissance routes every turn, ever watchful for unicorns, enemy armada's and other figments of my imagination.
Just as with Nog's game before it, victory here rested heavily on the shoulders of an economy driven by Statue of Liberty/Mercantalism/Representation plus help from Mining Inc/Sid's Sushi to give my cities the equivalent of perhaps 10 extra citizens per city in food, science and production.
I was lucky to catch Max out and secure a large island to myself very early (really early looking at the replay) with all the strategic resources I needed, even if it skimped a bit on health and luxuries. Thankfully I seemed to be the only one to know my only Aluminum for the whole game was outside a frosty city in the Northern tundra. It was as exposed as Justice's oil.
Honourable mention to Three Gorges dam, which accounts for the giant leap in my MFG rating. And I love Cristo Redentor though the fact I didn't have Pentagon locked me in the otherwise useless Vassalage civic for much of the late game.
Looking forward to the next game.
