EDIT: Nevermind, it's late and I didn't think clearly.

Just in case anyone here is interested, my score record was topped, and not by a small margin...

That...is one ridiculous start.

That was a good read. Whenever I read those writeups such as your game or this one, it makes me want to play something like that, but I just don't have the patience (or likely, the skill) to pull it off

I suppose I have some respect for the dedication needed to pull something off like that, but the gameplay is so drastically different from a competitive game of Civ4 that it ultimately leaves me more confused than anything else. Inca + Marathon + Huge + quadrule gold start doesn't really have anything to do with a normal game.

Spoiler for anyone who hasn't finished reading it...

And here I thought he actually scored 5 million points. "5 million-ish"

@Sulla, yeah, my favorite part was the "this start is a bit meh by HOF standards"

That said I enjoy reading about them - though T-Hawks writeup was MUCH better, really managed to explain the core principles.

Well, it is. This is the Hall of Fame. You can't deliver Babe Ruth's career if you start with merely say Derek Jeter talent.

Besides, that start looks better than it is. There's only one food resource, and it's a mediocre cow, and you can only get two workable gold in range with the cow. What made the map playable was Mining from a hut early, which is worth like 40 gold-tile-turns worth of extra commerce.
