OCC - Bird's comparison game
Deity
MGE

Phew! The tech tree was all messed up, maybe because of the Warrior Code we started out with. We never had the chance to research Monarchy and all the other OCC goals showed up late on the list as well. Of course we insisted on cutting one of those mountains down to size, too !
A big bother was Susa that overlapped our terrain, so after the spaceship was safely on its way we made sure the city was wiped from the Earth. On the bright side, the Greek were very loyal allies all the way to the end.

Score: 325 (42%)

My caravan commodities were unattractive – Hides were produced most of the time. Only Ashur needed Gems and nobody really demanded Gold. I was not successful in bribing a Barb Frigate or even trireme, which would have expedited the route to Zululand.

Finally about 3 techs away from Computers, the Sioux developed Flight, slowing down my advances from that time on.

Good initiative, Ribannah.

Paul, it would be worthwhile to have a comparison table for this and the other non-fortnight comparison game on your site, if they don’t already exist.
