5 city liberty until settler, then full honor due to all the open land, stole workers off Ur, Egypt, Brazil, but Brazil still managed to plant Salvador just east of my capital. First expo near faith mountain, but still failed by turn 50 to found religion even with DF, so later adopted Egypt's for faith buying education buildings.
Higher number of cities was required for training approximately 18 immortals, with a lot of spare. I was still over unit cap after capturing first city. I also delayed civil service to give myself more time. Started attacking Egypt with Pikeman + Trebuchet during GA, due to needing his Chichen Itza for boosting golden age. Upgraded to Muskets shortly before taking Thebes. Made peace after Thebes due to having no counter to his navy at the time. His generous gpt was needed at the time. My overall tech rate is slow due to delaying science and tiny population. WF was very early, and only got barely 2nd place.
Next target was obviously Monty, due to his overly aggressive behavior becoming a hate magnet, and he had 2 capitals, having reduced Brazil to 1 city far to the north. By this time I had DoF with 3 civs to the east, and useful for selling lux and resources. Took Salvador which was next to my capital quickly, and kept the city due to its position. Rio de Janeiro, then Tenochtitlan with SoZ fell, after razing several other cities. Decided to completely eliminate Monty from the map, so took and razed several more cities, in the meantime upgraded to cannons. Kept Texcoco for a base to attack Russia and the east.
Bribed Russia to war with all other civs, then invaded them on 2 fronts. 1st army through Monty's land, 2nd army was ready to invade Russia through Egypt, so also DoW Egypt in order to eliminate all their cities from the mainland. Both army converged on Moscow after upgrading to rifles and artillery, while a CS killed her last city off. I later liberated her after DoWing Morocco. Moscow had Bradenburg Gate, so I later would build all the xp buildings there and spam air force if needed. Built 3 factories and took 2nd pick Autocracy, after Iroquois took 1st pick.
Next target was difficult pick, Iroquois has flight already, and was Autocracy, so I decided to buy OB from him and attack the 2 civs to the east with 1st army. They both denounced after my proposal of world ideology Autrocracy, when they took Order. That made the choice easy. Morocco had flight, but no air force, so he fell easily, only his UU was slight problem but they weren't a match for my double cover GWI. Took all except 1 of his mainland cities. Wasn't able to keep Marrakesh due to his navy but was easily recaptured.
DoW India afterwards. They also had flight, but were nearly destroyed by near constant wars with Iroquois, so they were very weak. Took his cities easily, but was unable to keep his coastal cities until his navy was destroyed. He had tech lead until end, where he still had a 1 tech lead. Fought against his Infantry with no problem while I still had GWI at the start of the war. Logistic range volley artillery were destroying his huge cities. It's rare for me to get siege units with that many promotions. By the end of the war, I had landships and infantry and machine guns. Also won IG easily to get the free SP.
Finally was Iroquois' turn, I had several triplanes and 1 GWB by now and should be enough. 2nd army went straight for Onondaga, while 1st army fought their way up from India. He had GW, but didn't matter at this point.
