I am having a lot of trouble with Monarch Difficulty. I am just not able to keep up technological with the top civilization and I cannot keep the diplomatic enough when I am ahead to prevent all civs on the same continent to declare war on me.

I hear that building a pyramid helps greatly in keeping up technologically. Which civics are the best if you managed to successfully build the pyramid?
 
Try to quickly conquer your closest neighbour, or make him adopt your religion and keep him as a pet. Maintain a strong military to avoid sudden conflicts. Trade or give away excess luxuries and health resources, preferbly for gold per turn, which will slow the AIs growth. A smart trade would be to give fex. fish for weat which is worth 2 health with a granary. Make the AI attack eachother to keep them from growing. Build cottages early and focus on getting library and universities.

BTW, you don´t have to win every game that you play. If you play games you know you´ll lose, you learn how the AI expands and how early it is able to win etc. I don´t even think the highscore lists loss/victory, just the score.
