Some end game tips:
Set a land goal, know how much you'll make at that land amount (w/ tech maxed etc). Then calculate how much you'll have stored by the end of that set. Convert to net worth: if you are a theo, do $2bil per 9mil net. If you are Rep, do $2bil per 8mil net.
Use food to store or you can even use tech to store, just remember in your calculations you'll lose some income for the conversion costs.
Then make sure you final end net is >= the past top 10 cutoffs.
As a quick example (#s are not exact), lets say we are shooting for 20mil net. At 15k acres, you'll make ~8.5mil with at least 5mil net already. So you just need 15mil net more, which is roughly $4bil after conversion costs.
So, do 4bil/8.5mil ~ 471 turns. So stock for at least 500 turns. Store $2bil in food and keep the rest on hand. Then just remember to leave enough time at the end to sell food and for your PM to regenerate $4bil worth of goods and viola! you are top ten with 20mil net.
