The Japanese always go for space race victory it seems. I had to give it up and go for a cheap economic victory or I probably would've lost.

Played it only one time.

Civ: Aztec
Difficulty: King
Finish Date: 2100 AD
Victory Condition: Domination
Score: 18,567
Leader Rank: 3rd

An interesting note: I completed the World Bank on the last turn. My advisor popped up saying we will win an Economic victory; however, I was given a Domination victory. If you win by the highest score, it is categorized as a Domination victory.

I enjoyed the game, which was my first attempt at the King difficulty level. The Japanese declared war on me early, and we stayed that way for a long time. The Arabs and Germans each oscillated wars against me. Once, I was against all three of them. I lost a city to Saladin & Tokugawa; however I conquered them back the next turn. The Greeks were very peaceful toward me for most of the game, even traded tech with me a couple times. Alexander did declare war on me, once I began building the World Bank. I whittled Saladin down to 2 cities, as well as Tokugawa. Fun game. Oh, Saladin did complete a couple spaceship parts.

My first game was at the lowest level. It was interesting but easily won. I came in 3rd as most other people did. I skipped a level after reading post on the forum. This game was not easy at all. As a matter of fact, it was one big war. In the first game, I found out that I had to settle quickly. I blocked all routes into my civilization. I did not care about leaving my spies unprotected, and I think this was a cause for them to war against me. If I stayed isolated longer, then I might have had a little more time to build up my culture and gold. I did not go on the attack until late in the game. With a little luck, I took the major cities of my opponents which increased my score dramatically.
