Instead of a GOTM-style playthrough, I've been fiddling with this one to see what works and what doesn't.
Spoiler :
My second attempt gave me a Science victory turn 246
Went tradition, but did not go for an early wonder this time. Teched Mining -> Pottery -> Writing > calendar (from a rune) -> Trapping -> Wheel -> Masonry -> Philosophy
Built 4 horse archers early, which were really useful for hunting down barb camps and doing city state quests.
I did not hard build any settlers and took +1 food from camps for pantheon, I wanted to get my cap as large as possible.
Built Oracle before national college. Finished NC about turn 85 off 3 cities, settled 4th city the same turn NC finished.
I missed out on founding a religion, and so I knew I wouldn't have the happiness to support any warmongering, decided that science was probably the best option.
I hard built universities and used my gold on research agreements, I had RAs with Iroquois, Ethiopia, Arabia and Denmark the whole game, and towards the end with Egypt too.
My second tree was Patronage and I took Aesthetics, this helped me a lot with culture and happiness.
I missed out on Pisa but managed to hard build the Porcelain tower.
England was grumpy all game, and eventually started settling in my area. I teched up to flight and took over 3 English cities that were in my territory around turn 180 ish.
I settled only 3 great scientists and saved the rest. Rationalism finisher gave me Satellites and I hard built Hubble.
Last wave of research agreements hit around turn 230. I popped the 7 great scientists I had saved up; this got me almost all the way there but not quite, a faith bought great scientist came slightly too late and shaved about 4 turns off final tech.
Capital was a production powerhouse, the final spaceship part only took 3 turns to build.
Final policy was order opener but it was too late to be very useful, other that a bit of extra happiness which let me sell off a few more luxuries to rush buy a nuclear plant.

I tried a second time and rage quit when arabia planted a city in the eastern spot right in the first ring. We hadnt even met yet!
What is your general opening when you play liberty moriarte?
Also how do you get NC t85 with 5 cities, do you buy/chop the libraries, and do you get libraries before anything else?
.
oops, wrong deity thread.
