If you have played Civ V too much, like me, and find it a little same, I can recommend a variant that me and my son call the barbarian game. The rules are:
1) Start as Bismarck.
2) Delete settler as first move.
3) Try win the game.
This setting really changes the character of the game. Forget build and tech order, religion, diplomacy, etc, and use your wits. My best win so far is on Emperor level, but I have had a few good shots at Immortal. There are however a couple of bugs that one needs to be aware of:
- The game crashes if one gets a pantheon before taking a city. Avoid ruins after turn 20 or save before taking one.
- Settle a city to start technology progress. Capturing a city does not work.
