So I usually just roleplay a bit by going tall and then proceeding to warmonger when provoked.
Never too bothered with victory so I usually get a domination or science victory.
Decided to up the difficulty and really focus on a victory type for ones. So I went with Korea on Immortal (I usually don't bother with anything above King).
I knew I was behind at the start because of the difficulty so I started out with a fast military build, negating wonders and most buildings.
I managed to grab the closest enemy his capital with relative easy. So I had 4 cities pretty fast and I started focusing on going tall.
The only other opponent on my continent soon attacked me, but by this point I was already ahead in science and managed to beat him easily thanks to a lot of ranged units.
From this point onwards, all I had to do was refuse open border treaties and keep sucking up to the city states. Close to the end, I was one or two eras ahead of the only other civ still posing a threat.
So my question is: Did I just get a good start or is Korea really that good on higher difficulties?
My tech was just going so well that I could get a few key wonders first and snowballed after that. I think I hogged all wonders but one.

. Austria can be good, but their bonus comes mostly in the middle of the game. Early bonuses, which most of the civs I listed have, snowball better throughout the game.
