But, what's the different between Columbia and Colombia? Seems that both are OK in dictionary...

I loaded a 600AD start, because the city placement in the 1700 scenario is atrocious. What I got was slightly better. I went straight up against America and managed to take them down pretty easily. Then Gran Colombia declared war and I invaded them eventually leading to their capitulation. I fought the Euros occasionally and after spanking the Portuguese, they gave me Timbuktu for peace, hence the West African departments. After another war they gave me Mbanza Congo. I also capitulated Spain after one of these wars and conquered Brazil.
Japan also capitulated after I nuked all of their cities. The Netherlands were really strong and launched a Spaceship, but I had been preparing for that and I took Amsterdam the following turn eventually collapsing them. Ottomans launched a Spaceship too, but my fleet took Istanbul soon after. I had to fire a lot of nukes to win, but it was a nice game anyways.

What's your native language?
In my language (Belarussian) both are written with 'u' (Калумбія (Kalumbija).

Jusos! You've hit your bandwidth limit.
That shall remain a mystery.
It resets once in a month and I was only two days shy, so no problem.

How do you guys do this? Are there certain civics one should run? The commie ones, the democratic ones? What?

It's about to all get turned on its head with Leoreth's pending changes to the stability system.
But under 1.11 and previous versions of DoC, in general the usual approach was to expand to 10 cities and tech along as far as to have access to tanks. Then adopt the authoritarian civics (which give bonuses for the more civs that you are at war with at the same time) and declare war on whichever civs you need to take over to reach the domination threshold. Having acces to Christo Redentor is also important, as it allows you to switch between Occupation, Resettlement and Imperialism depending on whether you are about to conquer a new city, found a new city, or neither of the above.
I say in general because there are some civs who don't need to adopt the authoritarian civics. England, France, Spain, Russia (and some others) can win Domination easily enough without needing to adopt fascism et al.

Many thanks, I've been trying for a domination win for a while now with a variety of civs to no avail. Might not have a ton of time considering tomorrow it's off for college, but we'll see.

And one of the civs that you can actually accidentally win domination while going for the UHV.

What are good vassals to take while playing Russia?

3000BC, Monarch, Normal
Finish Date: 1876
Score: 7314
Vassals: Arabia, Portugal, Russia, Brazil, Mughals (ALL capitulated)
Too tired to do a full writeup.
TL;DR: German city filled with 40+ troops in Italy encircled by my culture.
Had a showdown of a huge scale with them outside Rome in the final turns.
China & America were the other powerhouses.
...Been awhile since I made the leaderboard.
The only AI quirk of note:
EDIT: Just realized the OP disclaimer regarding revisions, however this was played on the latest revision and
collapses have been re-enabled for the last 3-4 revisions or so, so per the guideline, this should be a valid game.

Nicely done!
However, the stability system is far from finished and unfortunately I can't accept it to the (old) leaderboard. Although, I am still undecided what to do with the whole stability rewrite stuff. Should the newest version records get a different leaderboard and this would be the first mark there?? Can all civs even achieve domination victory after the new stability system is ready? Will domination be harder or easier with the new system? Feel free to give your opinions...

I believe we'll need a new leaderboard, but when the stability rewrite is complete. As it is, Leo might have some balancing to do and the stability input thread is still going strong.

Separate list please. I've been hungry for a spot on the board for awhile now.
Merc dependent civs (Moors, Poland, Italy, etc.) and early non-Pantheon civs (China & India) have a much harder time and I haven't been able to figure out a good strategy to win with them yet.
Religious Disunity penalty makes it seriously difficult to play the early civs as well.
Particularly with China, there wasn't anyway I could balance founding Hinduism & Buddhism anymore without losing Confucianism or Taoism constantly to the Romans & Persians.
Discovering Monotheism first didn't net me Zoroastrianism as well.
It's downright crippling when you go into Anarchy every 10 turns or so.
It also does not help if the civ in question has a low production modifier, like the Moors.
It is definitely much harder for those civs.
However, it was much easier for me with the Turks (I usually finish Dom as them from 1890-1900s), as Liberalism wasn't terribly far away and I was in a good position throughout the whole game;
and was able to come up with a good strat regarding combat which helped,
as I observed that war successes are way more important than before, so if anything,
there is less leeway to lose any troops.
The AIs are a lot more aggressive than before, although I don't know whether it's because anything changed or not, but every civ that I've come into contact with sans a few exceptions have been incredibly militarily competent holding at least 30 troops at the minimum; this was also probably because more civs collapsed, and the survivors inherited most of their land but it was a more dangerous landscape to say the least.
