long and indepth game
I am currently running a game which is very indepth. it is 180bc and alraedy all civs (8) are up to industrial age on a huge map. I have done this by reducing unit build costs, research times, given 4 free start techs, reduced corrtuption and 1 turn tile improvements (roads etc) and 10000 strating credits. Everone is declaring war on each other, alliances being made then broken. I cant keep away from it

I wouldn't say this is in-depth. The same things happens in Industrial age anyway, but you don't have to be there at 180bc! IMO, it spoils much fun.

Why not just start the game in the Industrial Era and play Accelerated?

On my last game at regent, we were at modern ages at 1200ad, I was marching over the world with modern armor by 1400. That was a fun game  Middles ages went by a lot faster than usual, usually middle ages takes up about 40% of my games, but it flew by, 10 AI instead of 8 though, and pangea instead of continents made the difference i suppose.
