Answers 1892 AD you beat me by 2 years. I used samurai and musketeers to quickly kill of half the world early. On an island I finished by 1895 slightly slower as times hard gauge the others when not in contact.
I didn't know that about Gandhi in Civ2 explains why I got nuked, I thought he be peaceful so didn't pay him to much attention, used him get some tech exchanges, silly me haha.
With dog soldiers, its possible to kill lots civs early but I never tried it.
Have you tried Civ5, I heard from some lots good comments, others complain about it?
New record:
1690 AD. I did this as Julius Caesar, Small, Fractal, Normal game speed.
I was pretty lucky to get put far away from everyone so I could build about 9 cities, then around 1000AD I had a legion-stack-of-doom, which pretty quickly vassalised nearly everyone. Everyone was on the same island, so no navy.
