Nice to see you again @Jorunkun
Last week I finished another game, so three games in total the last couple of months. I varied many of the smaller options over the three games. The first two games were with Random Personalities and without Tech Trading, and felt pretty much like the play-along game only having vassals enabled. The last game was mostly a "standard" game for me, as far as settings go.
If AdvCiv managed to convince you to play with Espionage, I would highly encourage you to give vassals a go next time you're able to play. Probably with Tech Trading enabled as well: It struck me how limited diplomacy was in game #1 and #2, especially with my vassals, due to Tech Trading being disabled. The vastly improved vassal mechanics, especially for the capitulated ones, are one of the highlights of AdvCiv in my opinion. And I say this as one who had them disabled more often than not before I discovered AdvCiv.
That play-along game was so much fun, we should do another one sometime!

Spoiler Game settings :
Game #1:
Huge Fractal Marathon.
Raging Barbarians; Random Personalities; No Tech Trading.
I got Suleiman, and won a 1894 CE Domination Victory.
Game #2 (the one in the above post #1315):
Huge PerfectMongoose Marathon.
Raging Barbarians; Random Personalities; No Tech Trading; No Tribal Villages; No Random Events; No Animals; No Slavery; Domination Victory Disabled.
I got Washington, and won a CE 1983 Diplomatic Victory. This might be the last time (and first!) I play with Domination Disabled.
Game #3:
Huge PerfectMongoose Marathon.
Raging Barbarians; No Random Events; No Animals.
Got Genghis Khan, and won a CE 1760 Domination Victory. This one went incredibly smoothly, although Tech trading certainly made things easier compared to the other two games.
