Since no one has started a renance era once yet:
Prince
1370 AD Start Liberalism
1390 AD Catherine is first in the world to discover Liberalism
1420 AD Discover Liberalism. Start Economics
1430 AD Cyrpus Completes Haga Sophia
1460 AD Great Prophet born in York. Use the following turn to help Divine Right
1470 AD Complete Economics, but it looks like Catherine beat me to this as well.
--------------
Game conceeded to the Russian AI
Catherine's empire has me hopelessly outclassed in science between it's size, the Prince level AI tech advantage, and the latest patches AI improvements.
Looks unsalvagable without going back in time to the early clasical era, building a bunch of swords, and then conquering Cyrpus to aquire enough territory to compete.
I'm going to have to drop back to Noble for builder games, I can't really ask for more distance between my nearest opponent than I got in this one.
The good folks at Firaxis finally created an AI good enough to outbuild me at one level above closest to netural starting conditions. This is quite an acheivement from where it started.
I could outbuild the AI on Diety on Civ II without breaking a sweat. In SMAC, on Transcendi as the Gaia or Lal I could also outbuild the AI, but it took a little work. (Going war mongler not much of a challenge on Transcendi as anybody).
In Civ III: Conquests, I could with an Agricultural civ, an above average starting location, and extra starting space ideally with chokepoint outbuild the AI on Demigod as well. War mongling of course made DG easier.
