I switched to windowed screen and then changed the resolution to 1024x768 or 1280x800. It's a bit of a hassle...

Not overkill. A castle also gives an extra trade route and +25% espionage, so it was definitely worth it!

I'm not too sure if you could've gotten there that much faster really. You were stretching it a bit too thin perhaps. And yes, I was expecting Infantry wouldn't take too long.

Really exciting, and my hats off to you all, and especially you two.
Yep, good game. I learned something entirely new when I saw you skyrocketing in GNP. As in how useful the representation civic can be. It's not an exploit. But it does make the pyramids much more powerful!
