First-time poster. I gave this a shot as I have played several OCCs recently, I like that they can be completed in one or two sittings.
I won a culture at around 1928. I had four monuments and one manufactory by the end, although I replaced one monument with an additional manufactory while building the Utopia project. I had more great artists than I knew what to do with, I used several for golden ages.
Two civs denounced me within a couple of turns of making contact (coveted my wonders and believed that I was trying win the game in a similar manner), and continued to be hostile towards me until the end of the game. I manage to make DoFs and defensive pacts with their two larger allies. I just had one land unit (plus a worker) and two ships for most of the game. As was mention by other posters, it seemed fairly easy to avoid war for the entire game.
