Try an Always War Pangea with only Tier-1 Unit spammers. Only time you'll pray and thank the gods for Protective.

Curassiers require a blitzkrieg-type of attack, using spies to revolt cities and quickly zoom through the enemies territory taking him out quickly, the only problem is when the AI has 'Phants or goes into it's 'I <3 Pikemen' mode, but again that can be solved with a spy sabotaging their source...

1-2 turns into Alphabet->Aesthetics->Trade Aesth for Alpha->Currency->CoL (Trade some worker techs for Polytheism)->Literature is my usual classical age tech order. Usually trade CoL for Monarchy around this time as well.

You get a Moai Statue+Levee in every coastal city (which usually suffer low production) and if playing as the Dutch I make Colossus+GLH a priority (super-super coastal cities).

Quick question (since this is the highest concentration of Swedes/Norweigans/Danes I've seen) but is there some kind of axe to grind from Norway towards Russia? Just seems the last..couple of times I've talked to a Norweigan it always ends with them somehow bashing my country, never have figured...

Spaceship Launch blitz, use nukes and paratroopers to stop it. But in any other case, it's best to advance from your territory to their core (or from an allies territory)since that capitol city you capture will be so squished by their culture that it will be utterly useless (and razing it really...

5 WCs is usually enough to take mecca early on, and that site has some pretty good production. Settle jerusaleum, and south a bit to contain the Mali (if you find it neccesary). Then look towards Turkey/Mesopatamia Proper.

Yep you can spin off England now, and yeah I'd go with Democracy if you are thinking of using cottages, or if you think you have a reasonable shot at the SoL. Otherwise I'd say go with a beeline to State Property. You have huge land, and lots of it productive. Might as well get some...

Inca are do-able, in human hands. The AI can't do :):):):) with them. Arabian start is pretty rough as well, Cyrus with his great production start and fast Imperialistic settlers will usually beat you to Mesopatamia, Alex really likes Turkey but you can beat him there if you send your second...

I'd say Horses would become that much more important, unless it's Alex with his Phalanxes, then you can just curl up and die.

Does Stalin control Western Europe? If not you could try get that territory, it has rather nice production capabilities compared to Sub-Equatorial Africa.

Shaka power-blocs aren't invincible. They can be broken up, but it requires you to blitz his vassal(s) before his stack can come after you, and then sue for peace. Best period for this is Airship/Artillery/Infantry since he's usually running around with Grenadiers/Rifles by this time, unless...

Alex always has it coming. That guy will declare war at the absolutely WORST times. "Whats that you just switched out of slavery/nationhood? ATTACK!"

Arboria is very large, bigger then a same size pangea I think.
