Well, that was fun game but I made some stupid mistakes and could have easily won earlier.
My strategy was to settle only a few cities and puppet most of the starting continent. China was my first target. I conquered it easily with Mohawks and puppeted all 6 cities I captured.
After that I had some problems with unhappiness and needed to wait a bit before attacking Mongolia with longswords. I managed to capture 4 cities and after that Genghis offered all his remaining cities for peace. I accepted and puppeted all cities I get.
Then Caesar declared war but his pikemen and archers were easy to kill and I captured 2 of his cities. Then he wanted peace and gave me 2 cities. I had serious unhappiness problems and needed to raze 3 cities to get unhappiness over -10.
After that I had 5 settled cities and 14 puppets. Rest of the game was just researching towards Globalization. I made a long beeline to it with 3 Great scientists, Oxford and Scientific Revolution at the same turn. The United Nations took 18 turns to build (Golden Age from Taj Mahal).
Things I should have done better:
-Had too slow start. Should have atacked China earlier or settled more cities.
-Had serious unhappiness problems before Forbidden Palace
-Found first maritime city state (Ragusa) really late.
-Get only 4 Great Scientists-
-Should have found the other continent earlier for some trade
-Wasted some turns as I didn't micromanage research enough. (No research overflow)
