Hey Strike, I left the game after one of our connections died- we were only 3 turns from 120 anyway. Hopefully I'm not presumptuous in declaring that the game was essentially over, given that I was preparing a rather large army of maces, crossbows, and hwatcha to strike at you. Also, I was only about 10 turns away from liberalism & galleons. And I had like a 300 point score lead 
Really fun game, btw! Islands allowed for a refreshing amount of building to go with the city razing, although it looked like none of us was willing to settle the smaller islands- which makes sense given how easy it is to lose them & considering 2-city elimination. An islands map with a couple more players and a higher city elimination count could be really fun... or perhaps even a complete build-fest with always peace!
