No screen shots for mine, maybe next time
I finished the game by space race victory in 2004a.d.
my score was 8443.
A few interesting things about this map...
The first unit i built was a worker. Until now, I had NEVER built a worker as my first unit. but since the first tech i researched (animal husbandry) was about the same turns to research as a worker, I decided to try it. It worked marvelously. After growing to size 3, building a settler and then mining the stone soon afterwards I built the pyramids. Gotta have the pyramids and immediately go to Republic. Another major wonder is the colossus to get that extra income. My first 3 cities were north and north east expansions in the direction of the Aztecs to get bronze, iron, crabs, fish, pigs, gold and silver.
I noticed that Aztecs or Mongols were always itching to start a fight. Playing honorably is an interesting challenge and I enjoyed it. So my strategy was to pick one of them and adopt their religion to give me extra faction to prevent war. I never adopted my own religion or built the special religion wonder. I chose the Aztecs to be my friends and therefore only had to fight the Mongols, not both of them. I used the barbarian cities in the south to stop the Mongol advance there and slowly took out the barbarians, making their cities my own. Every time the mongols declared war on me, I would take a couple of cities and make peace with them valuable. Then I let someone else wipe them out around 1900.
Until the whole continent had cities on it, my science continually went down. I think at one point for a few turns, it was at 20%. Finally by the time the continent was covered with different sized cities, my science rate began to climb. At that time I had researched markets and grocers and banks and harbors. Since the aztecs were my friends (at one time, it was +14 ) nobody else started a war with me and I could trade with everyone. I only had to build a few tanks, I didnt do any fighting at all after my Cav became obsolete. I used artillery in my last battle against the mongols, and then those just sat there and rusted as well. I was able to develop all technology until future tech 8.
Most of my Great people were builders.
I hope this report is what you are looking for, this is my first time reporting a Civ win like this. I cant wait for the next challenge!
Oh and, heh, was that comment about "no sheep for you" intended as a kind of a hint? I never found any sheep that I could harvest.

Those who dont learn from History are doomed to repeat it
Did you break the rules?
