darrell what year did you die?
i looked at your picture and thought 'oh wow, he plays immortal but of my 6 cities, his 5 match 5 of mine exactly, just one tile different at pony/fish/sheep, and mine were settled much later ... maybe my dotmaps don't suck too bad.' then i realized one was china, ouch you got screwed there.
and them both declaring on you is of course completely harsh.
your last screenshot is 775 AD. my death was in 695 AD. that got me really curious, so i checked ... if the spreadsheet i use my culture games is right, i died only 6 turns before your screenshot. get this ... i did not even know alphabet, math, how to swim, i hadn't even seen china on my own continent
. mao wasn't as advanced as the JC/mao combo was in your game either tho. it's just wild how different things can turn out!
i think they declared on you since they were jealous of your brains. mao declared on me since he felt far superior in the smarts department. either way you get in trouble don't you? nice game, you pulled off some great moves there
