Pax Brittanica
I just played this game for fun, with no particular object in mind, just to get "warmed up" for Adventure Two, which was more my cup of chocolatl.
I hogged the wonders: Stonehenge, Oracle, Pyramids, Colossus, Notre Dame, Spiral Minaret, Great Library, Taj Mahal, Versailles, Statue of Liberty, Kremlin, Broadway, Eiffel Tower, Rock 'n Roll, Hollywood, Pentagon, United Nations, Space Elevator, and Three Gorges Dam.
I spread my faith: Christianity, my primary religion, was 54% of the world's faith, and my three subordinate religions, Confucianism, Taoism and Islam, added another 8%.
I dominated the new world almost utterly: There were two foreign colonies on the islands to the north, because I got complacent and delayed colonizing them. The rest was mine, all mine, with the AI not even really being in the race (a similar experience to most peoples', I gather.)
Only three things about this game stood out for me.
One: For the first time, I used chariots as my primary early game unit. That's never happened to me before, and it's too bad that there wasn't any test of their effectiveness. Those chariots were still defending my cities in 1920.
Two: Nobody *ever* went to war. My game was 100% peaceful. Pax Brittanica indeed.
Three; Despite the outbreak of peace, I was just under 13% land area needed for a domination victory. I was 64% of the world's population. Had I realized how close I would end up, I would have pushed early expansion more, and tried for a non-violent domination victory.
The Result
Diplomatic Victory, 1920. (Really, backdoor domination, as I could vote myself the winner)
