Manipulation (C-evo)/Top six

Incorporate C-evo's top six manipulations for a shortish game. Expect a win before 2500 BC unless your map is fairly big.
Similar to playing with all seven manipulations, but more interesting because you need to find the rare minerals (capturing or destroying foreign cities if necessary) before you can build spaceship parts. So concentrate initially on spawning cities to build more engineers and troops and airliners and maybe bombers before Space Port. 
Nations very close to your capital and your target minerals might be best befriended in 4000 BC, though not if their territories (initially or with likely growth) will include the minerals. It may be desirable to befriend all others and arrange alliances if possible, so that you can fly through their territories; Manhattan Project can then give you undisturbed time to work. 
Establish your cobalt city as early as possible, because it takes six turns to build its quota; or establish two if easy.
