t236, 1630AD space win. I took out EVERYONE except for Monty and Washington with horse archers, and then basically sat back and teched. These things are absolutely broken on emperor or below, especially when the AI refuses to go feudalism for 1000 years.
Late game, I capped Monty with tanks vs longbows, because his culture was annoying and his capital was really sweet. And also I was kinda wary he'd go after me...it would be little more than an annoyance since knights vs tanks/marines/infantry is downright comedic, but having to deal with his stack would've been a huge pain, so better to just take his stuff while he was busy with Washington. I actually had to give up most of my captures to Washington to avoid tripping the dom limit, but just his capital alone was a worthy prize, being the only city able to 4-turn the spaceship life support when the time came.
Also, with 5 food sources, Amsterdam was by far the most OP great person/NE spot I ever had...WITHOUT philosophical, I got
ten great people from that city, and I know because everyone except for my first GS was popped there!!!
My capital and IW city were above average too, with over 650 bpt from the capital and over 100 base hammers per turn from the IW city, in a golden age.
Then just for fun, I took out Washington with modern armor vs longbows after the game ended. Because why not

I guess the lesson here is, if you need to break out on below immortal, check for horsies
