So for those who are looking to get over the Monarch "bump" (which I definitely experienced!) how about saying what you have struggled with as maybe we can steer the game towards looking at those.
My failings were
1. Couldn't resist spending hammers on every shiny new building that was unlocked.
Cure. Being strict on city specialisation...e.g designating cities as Production, Research, GP Farm and making ourselves stick to it.
2. Not being agreesive enough in an early land grab war
Cure. Well with Augustus the cure is pretty obvious
3. Losing ground in the middle ages
Cure. Disciplined lightbulbing and beelining key techs and then using tech trading to fill in.
4. Trying to be everybody's friend... ending up with middling relations with lots of AI's and no tech trading buddies..
Cure. Going for a diplomatic or PA based win where you have to choose your friends and enemies in a disciplined manner and stick to it.
