Quite impressive, Darkness. How come you got such a high score when the result is fairly similar to my Aztec game? It's only eight turns sooner and you didn't even have the entire continent until a few turns before the end.

Anyway, I just finished as China with the best result by far, so far. I actually launched a spaceship, but gained a domination victory before it reached Alpha Centauri. [crazyeye]

This proves that China really is highly advantaged, especially compared to the Khmer, who notably start close to China. [rolleyes] Poor Beam...

More pop? more wonders. I'd imagine more pop but cant say for certain unless i looked at a save.

I think so too.

Another factor (just noticed this): What was the maximum number of turns in your games? I've manually changed it a couple of times to enable marathon speed games, so for the normal speed game I changed it back again, but I didn't know for sure what number it should be, so I set it at 500. Maybe in your games this number was lower?

Max turns should be 460. That might matter. (Score decay is higher for my games.)
<s>Must be more people & wonders then.</s>

Yes, that would definately skew the comparison...

OK, I reset to 460 turns maximum.

Hm, that's worse than I'd expect from you. You had a lot of trouble in that game?
