Hi! So finally I m doing the writeup and after waiting so long there are probably a few points missing.
My game went a little diffrent than the others. Since I could not wait for the game to open I replayed the Start of 3 nobles club games on epic, emperor and inca. While doing so I noticed that the quechuarush window is very large on this difficulty. And rushing was always succesfull. I moved to the plainshill west and started with a worker and 7 quechuas. Although I knew that if could not finding a target early changing to a build strategy whould probably be better, I stil stuck to my plans since I was sure a target whould not be that far away. Ha I was wrong. While meeting Julius first I completly missed him. I was wonderring where is my Target while 7 quechuas were searching the map. Finally after 80 turns I found gandi the founder of budism. attackng him around turn 80 I think right when he founded his third city. And yea shure enough he did not have bronze yet so his cities where only defended by one archer each. I expected the maintenace to go up, but not that bad. Since i got a nice chunk of capturegold I managed to tec to priesthood and build the oracle in deli. I whould have loved to take metalcasting but the high maintenance forced me to take code of laws for the courthouses. After priesthood I finally and luckyly decided to go for archery since the barbs started to enter my borders shortly after I captured gandis cities. And while quechuas are great for barbdefence barbspears started to appear from the very begining. Actually i think a spear was the secon Barb I encountered. And from this point on I realised that I made a big mistake by taking gandis cities. I underestimated the amounts of barbs and that after a short while barbaxes showed up and then it was on for about 100 to turns I got constantly rushed in the north and in the south. Barbs where coming in from all sides and ended up having to build quechuas and archers non stop. i even had to let them take Bombay for a few turns before I could take it back. In the end I finally managed to connect the horses in the north to counter axes and in the south I had to settle a total shitcity on a dessert copper. which was right in time before I whould have lost the southern cities. I think in the End the trade off for having captuerd those cities was really bad because off the hammers I had to put in units aswell as the unit maintenance which was between 13 and 18 for many many turns. Here ist a picture of the unit trades after i managed to stabilize. And of the sad Copper-City.
After sabilizing and founding more floodplain-cottage-cities in the north, building courthouses, and cottages where ever possible my economy slowly recovered. I then setteled around 15 cities while preparing an mace-treb attack on julius. Since I was able to attack him from two sides I planed to cut his territory right in the beginnig of the war. So I was shuffeling units from my more production based cities in the south north. Right at this point Julius decided to attack me. This was a little inconvenient but since I was still a few turns away from engeneering and pikes to counter his elephants effectivly. But I had already assembeled Maces and had my Heroicepic-City switch to catapults to soften his stacks. Also since he attacked north his southern flank was open with just a few longbows and axes defending his cities. During this phase I also had my biggest facepalm moment of the game when i planed meticulously to get Banking at the End of a goldenage to get mercantilism, just to completly forget to switch in the end, realising it many turns later.
After beating back his attack in the north I took around half of his cities cutting him in two pieces. And took peace for ten turns do get a few tecs. And finished him up 10 Turns later. While I was doing that I teced Optics to finally find the other civs. On the other continent Kublai had gone on a rampage and had vasaled Peter and Louis already and was in the procces of doing the same to Freddy, which he achived shortly after.
It turned out that Louis was building every WW under the sun and by doing so was able to get lib before me actually matching my reaserch with only 7 cities, aggainst my 30 cities. But they where not that far a head in tec and particularly where not going for rifling nor steel. I went for the latter and turned all my trebs into cannons while producing more and even switched to nationallism for drafting maces and muskets. Another moment of pain was the realisation that hinduism (the Apostolic religion) had spread to one of my cities and Kublai was pretty close to wining by AP luckily he fell short since Freddy was still resisting. I countered that by leaving my Shrine Religion (Bud) and switched to Hindu during an other Goldenage while spreading Hinduism to every City to get a blocking minority and later on even the AP Seat.
After Building a lot of units and galleons my Strikeforce was assembeled and on its way west to go for louis to get his wonders, when all of a sudden freddy broke free of kublai. This was of course my chance so i declared and completly roled him up. Also my economy finally exploded in part of reaching Communism and also because of two Goldenages one from the Taj which had not been claimed for centurys and the second extended by the mausoleum, which was the only WW Freddy build.
During the war I commited to a Domination victory, because I was sure that I lost to much time in the beginning to be competitive, and I saw that with freddys territory I just had to found a few Iceball Cities in the South and only Take a few Cities from Peter and Kublai to win. And this time fait was on my side since Kublai also declared at Freddy which alowed me to make peace with him after I took all but one isolated Ice-City. (And Funny thing he Even traded me Physics 3 Turns later.) This lured Kublai, who was still matching my power although I had reached Rifling and was about to reach assemblyl line, into takeing the last city. And this was my moment. I build a road up to the city in 2 turns and Slamed all my units into his stack while drafting Rifles in Freddy old Cities and chain-shipping Units from the old continet for reenforcements. The Veteran cannons crippeld his stack of about 50ish units but it still took me 4 turns to whipe it out completly. Reaching assembly line was the final straw. Drafted and upraded Infantry combined with cannons and Airships where able to take 2 Cities of Peter and 2 of Kublai before my big attackstack was healed up and ready to rejoin the Fighting. Domination at last.
This was a lot of fun. I will definitely replay this. I think the quechuarush could still be viable but only if one can secure the Great Wall, which ist very much possible with this start and Mr. Capac. I wil try that.
And I whould find an irrigated corn with riverside grassland gems. But i guess he was talking about settling in place. 
) This Tipp is still appreciated.
