Yes, that's exactly what happened. I relaxed, confident in my superiority, because I had seen his skills and didn't expect him to literally double them in a week by building utopias and using diplomacy to take 100+ ruins.
I didn't build a single utopia during the game; I saw them on the map beyond the mountains, forests, and swamps to the west, but I didn't reach them. The turning point was when I lingered too far from my starting point, wasting time there when I should have been going for the opponent's secondary town a week before the final, and then everything would have been different. avstrolopitek, thank you for the game!
