Here's my effort up to AD 1500. I took note of Solo's comments about gifting to your key civ. I couldn't remember which colours went with which rating, so I gifted everybody. This seemed to work as I had a couple of turns where I was down to 1 turn per tech - the first time I've ever managed that as far as I can remember. Here's the log
