I finally fired this last weekend. Me and a friend ended up playing it for about 20 hours over the course of 2 days. It was a lot of fun. Very solid 4x game with a lot of really interesting and cool mechanics.
We were the trading people - the Egyptian/Middle Eastern type race. I really liked the speed and initiative of a lot of their units. We rarely lost a battle.
I guess the game ends at 300 turns on the basic settings. At turn 250, we got a warning that the necrophage were ahead score-wise and were going to win. So, we immediately began a crazy expansion plan. There were many unsettled regions to our north. Like 8 or 9. We started producing settlers like crazy to colonize. We then sent our two big armies north to wipe out the Cultists (they were down to one region). After took care of them, our armies swept west and started to take regions from the necrophage.
The necrophage countered and besieged one of our cities. We ended up selling off almost all of our luxury and non-essential strategic resources to quickly raise a sizeable army over the course of 2-3 turns and managed to break the siege.
As a result of our very aggressive last 50 turns we ended up winning the game. The necrophage ended up coming in 3rd place score-wise.
Just based off that one game, it would seem like a science or economic win would be really, really hard.
