Quickest Age Advancement... Suffering from ads?

What is your quickest age advancement so far?

My last game, I hit Classical in 2:12, and was in modern by 25:00.

Any tips on speeding that up a bit?

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Yeah, set the Quick Battle options for cheap, fast tech advancement. I haven't tried that myself (why would you want to throw out 3/4 of the game??)... maybe I'll give it a run to see how fast it goes.

i hit information at 38 minutes. I thought that was pretty fast (including building a good econ the whole time plus fighting through most of the latter ages).

And you don't loose some sight on your research/economy in the later ages if your beating the crap out of the AI?
Pretty impressive within 38 minutes
I hit information mostly around 50-60, but in most games the enemy is already 1-2 ages behind, as a result of my relentless onslaught started in medieval, and maintained for the following ages, and this on though/arena/1v1

you played on what level? type?
