@Bozso,
I started warring immediately with praets after I had about 3-4 cities. I stayed at war with that civ until I eliminated it about 200-300 years later. By that time, I was warring with cavalry. With cavalry in, I then started attacking another one of my neighbors, but again that war dragged on. I finished off the last few cities with tanks. After I got tanks, I just went on a rampage with air support. I think the only unit that can crush civilizations on its own are conquistadors/knights against civs that don't have pikes. Otherwise, it just takes too long to reach their doorstep.
Wonder wise, Hagia Sophia is awesome with these settings. It gives your workers the ability to build roads in 1 turn instead of 2. SOL is always huge with lots of cities... An early GL is also very nice.
Dense peaks lead to interesting results - you will get one or two tile choke points to other territories, and you'll have to meander around to get to the other civs. While it limits the available food on the map, I don't think it's worth the hassle...
