It was bloody, but I continue to take out the Aztecs.
Monty becomes a vassal of Hannibal screwing up my plans to clear him from the mainland.
Monty's borders become so large from his capitol, that Teotihuacan becomes totally isolated. I give it back to Monty in 1725 AD. What is annoying is Texcoco becomes somewhat useless, but I have enough tiles to keep that moving up. It is large enough to build fresh culture and eventually fix the borders.
This game has hit the blow out point. The 4 civs left all want liberalism and astronomy, while I'm already researching railroad, building infantry and about to research scientific method.
My brain really started hurting trying to figure out if any corporation had value. Adding more hammers ("food)" into my cities is a waste. More production has been the consistent pain. The tradition production boasts feed my people this game, and I don't need people help. Especially with railroads helping to feed people this game. I've already turned some mines into windmills.
I don't need culture. I'm ahead in science. I decide to skip them this game.
I missed one effect, and found out Iron Works is useless. All it does is feed the city more. I don't need food at this point. It is getting very tough to boast production for my space launch.
I launched my space ship in 1960 AD.
I think this shows what a blow out the end game was.
Summary:
For the 500 AD wonder goal I completed 3:
