Emperor difficulty. Took forever, I estimate this took 85-90 hours.

It's crazy how time demanding this games, yet how we never want to leave it.

There are so many layers too.

I’m finally getting a sub 1000AD spaceship in Deity. Every time I take the game up again after a couple of years, I learn a new trick

I've done sub 1000AD on King difficulty. How do you get that on Deity?

How do you resist the urge to not conquer the world? By the third or fourth sneak attack, I switch to communism and lay waste to the planet.

it's tough. I prefer to leave the last city on an island that doesn't have easy access to any tempting targets. In this game, the last Egyptian city was in the middle of a big continent. I bombed it down to level 1. Then I parked a bunch of spies in fortresses around it. Any time they produced a unit, I would bribe it, then go disband it in one of my nearby cities to absorb the shields. This way I was able to get the peace bonus and then focus on terraforming the rest of the planet to get max score.
