Late game, marathon war. Unit casualties in the hundreds. War weariness is unbearable. Jails in all cities, mount rushmore, and police state, = no war weariness. You can war for the rest of the game until you win.
Combine with police state, workshop the heck out of all your towns, and have...
Windmills when they first become available are pretty horrible.
I do like riverside windmills after replaceable parts with financial civs though, as they give you 3 commerce even before electricity.
This is the best use of windmills i've ever had.
Skirmisher rushes work because they're cheap, and you don't need to hook up any secondary resources. Do it with a protective leader and it's too cheap.
Did isabella plant a city in northwest africa yet? There's a really nice spot that has crabs, sheep, wheat, and wine within it's BFC, with an extra ivory in its third ring. If its available you should definitely go grab it.
Try global highlands and arid climate. It's a fun map. It's not a flat map like the plain highlands script, instead it wraps and produces land masses like fractal. There are tons of hills, and tons of flood plains. And more gold than you've ever seen because of all the desert hills.

Any civ that's philosophical or industrious. Since you can't be both, pick whatever secondary trait you like.
Huayana Capac is very, very good. He's one of the best civs in the game. The quechas let you take out an opponent or two with minimal trouble. His UB gives you an extra bump in culture...
The mind boggles at the people saying this city wasn't worth it. Claiming 2 happiness resources so early in the game is very very worth it. Getting bigger cities before calendar and before monarchy gives you an advantage that lasts the entire game. Plus the city will pay for itself just working...
Hammurabi is a very underrated leader. The trait combo is great, lots of early warring without your economy crashing. The UB is actually better than you give it credit for. As has been mentioned, it's +2 health. And early game post HR, i find health more limiting than happiness. I mean...
