OK had a go as the Carthaginians. Wasn't able to get invention off of the AI which added maybe 10 turns to my time. Only conquered 1 city up until 218BC when 14 vet ironclads appeared on the scene within a couple turns  .
I rush built the Lighthouse on the first turn since I didn't want to have to mess about with all the triremes and have them getting picked off near the coast.All objectives finished in 204BC (74 turns).
Last city conquered in 199BC (79 turns). EOL |

Nice idea (especially since it gives you vet ironclads later on).
Probably also a good idea for those willing to use a strategy close to Dave's (vet elephants onboard mighty triremes)

SELEUCID standard set: All objectives in 74 years, all cities in 79. This could easily get beaten, as I accidentally chose to research gunpowder before magnetism. My ironclads waited for several turns while the caravels sailed in. The more distant cities would fall several turns earlier with galleons. My first galleon didn't leave port until 218. Also, the perfectionist in me couldn't resist improving cities. I built five banks and three colluseums during this conquest. More bad guys would have mopped up the non-objective cities many turns earlier.Record of city conquest and 3-figure gold transactions:
276 hides --> Rhodes 128g
267 hides --> Syracuse 308g
266 Raphia sacked, Pergamum for 715g
265 Galatia
263 Heliopolis
262 Alexandria sacked, Memphis for 276g, great granary sell-off
260 650g tribute from Carthage
255 Rhodes
250 Cyrene
249 Valladolid razed, Ptolemies relegated to history books
247 Silk --> Syracuse 120g
245 Sparta
241 Delphi
239 750g tribute from Macedon
234 steam engine discovered! (note DaveV had already won by this time...)
231 850g tribute from Carthage
228 Athens
227 Abdera, Demetrias
226 Carthage, Pella
225 Hippo Regius on sale for 127g
223 Syracuse, Leptis
222 Taras (Why not, we're in the neighborhood... Raked in 538g!)
217 Gades, Terracina, Rome
216 Heraclea, Neapolis
215 Pisae, emptied Caralis so barbarians could sack it
214 Kazan for 128g
213 Kerman for 78g, Ormuz for 308g
212 Massilia, Independent Greeks vanish; 10,000,000 Seleucids
211 Aleppo, Milan, Sena, Romans eliminated, Ngome for 231g
210 Caralis (just passing by...), Shangtu, Mpondo for 162g, Carthaginians are no more...
209 Braunsburg
208-205 bribe nine small cities for about 1500g
204 La Tene!
203-199 mop up remaining cities, 14,000,000 citizens! And following Philip's advice, it was all possible: ------------------

All right, I wasted a weekend trying to set more standards. Alas, all I have to show for it is a pair of very beatable results. Because they aren't impressive, I'll skip the play-by-play.Independent Greeks: All objectives (except Raphia, which got razed) in 92 years. I didn't bother continuing to get all additional cities. The blasted Romans got steam engine 3 turns after me! They had gunpowder, too. No civs eliminated... Ptolemaic Greeks: All objectives (except Pella, which got razed) in 96 years. Reaching La Tene took a whole decade! Didn't get all cities, but only the Celts and Romans remained on the map. ------------------

Marquis, IMO you cannot waste anything playing civ2!
(and you should remember that, when I started this thread a few weeks ago, no one except myself had beaten the century, ... and that was with caravan rehoming)
ALL RESULTS ARE BEATABLE
(except high scores by Ming = too boring , launching SS with one city size one by samson = too serious , landing sooner than solo = caravan rehoming now forbidden ).
