Whipping is efficient when there are many cities and lots of land. And Pyramids. And strong UU with cheaper than usual upgrade for C3C.

OCC is not tedious... Or 5CC. 300CC as it was here indeed cannot be played without MapStat. Not by more or less sane players.

Since it is SGOTM, you are essentially restricted to GOTM. But there were very peculiar medal series games which were never processed by AlanH. Like Babylon with Conquest victory, Persia with 100K, and Iro with conquest as well iirc all Deity level. The Balylonian game would have been rather hard and interesting especially remembering early encounter with Rome and lack of iron. Iro was also rather challenging while Persia was mostly limited to FP/Palace jumps all over the map. GOTM30 was a very sound setup as well. May be adding some condition like not building or capturing any cities not on home island?
