My second civ4 game is over and I did MUCH better this time! I won a Space Race instead of just having the highest score upon end of turns like last game. This earned me a score of # – Neville Chamberlain!
Here is my save file if you wish to add it to your Hall of Fame.

I’ve hit Lech Walsea (once), so keep at it, I know I am. At Noble level the comp regularly beats me to a Space Ship.
