Hi everyone,
A moment ago, I finished (1704 AD, domination victory) a Huge Pangaea Marathon game as Elizabeth of England on Noble difficulty. Having discovered Liberalism in 10th century, training my first Infantry in 1496, my first Tank in 1660, entering the modern era in 1680 and discovering Flight in 1700 raised a question - does the technological advance really get easier when the game speed gets slower?
Even Hannibal, the most advanced AI opponent, had Machine Guns by mid-17th century, had finished working on Combustion in early 18th century and started working on Flight which would have taken 45 turns or so to discover. They traded some of their techs to some of their AI friends as well, so the whole world became relatively advanced.
Hannibal had discovered Hinduism and somehow it had become a global religion. Since I didn't want to go to war against the whole world, I too converted to Hinduism and spread it to my cities. The shrine must have brought Hannibal an enormous amount of gold income.
