I can't figure out how you guys are winning this game in under 50 turns. This is the best I could do.

Finishing the neolithic era at turn 4 with around 20 people help a lot.
To do that, you will need to learn how to chain the gain of food, and during this era you also need to take some time to save scum every turn to check for the best rng possible.
After that it's mostly focus on research and construction. with a bit of war and some focus on pop to gain the extra star in order to switch era as fast as possible.

Okay, I followed that advice and did a little better. I figured out the trick you guys are doing as I was halfway through this playthrough. I know I could improve upon this score if I played again, but I've played this map 5x. I'm not really interested in save scumming to achieve top score, because I will get bored replaying single moves for optimal results. I won on turn 70, that's good enough.
