Actually, losing a few units like that at the end of the war is almost helpful. It cuts down on military upkeep costs. (Yes, I can find a silver lining to almost any cloud). It's infrastructure time....
All cities need a granary, a forge, and jewish monastery ASAP. Most coastal cities need a lighthouse. Do those first, to keep the city growing while everything else is built. Beyond that, we should work towards getting Wall Street (in Djenne) and Newton's (in Philadelphia) pretty quickly. That means banks and universities in a lot of cities. Washington, Boston, New York, Bactria, and a couple others should be able to crank them out quickly. They should do so. For a while, the *only* city building military should be Timbuktu (military academy there and it's a production powerhouse with very limited commerce). Timbuktu can provide defenders for all our cities that need them, on its own.
I agree on where Rex put our Civics. Christo Redentor requires Radio which is a lot of techs away. If we can get a second great person soon, I'd trigger a GA to cover our Civics change. If not, well, 3 turns of anarchy is semi-significant, but we can afford it. Better civics are worth it. Until we revolt, though, we want to whip heavily, especially in our smaller cities.
Regardless of win goal, I think our path for a while is clear: ECONOMY!!! That means better civics, economy buildings (banks, libraries, universities, observatories, etc.), good worker usage, a couple more cities (which will need to be managed to not take too many good tiles from our larger more established cities), and the like.
Justinious, if you want a potentially achievable goal, get us our 6 (?) universities and banks, so we can start both Wall Street and Newton (Oxford(??), I get confused all the time) in Djenne and Philadelphia respectively.
Do military academies help with boats? If so, I'd use our general to put a military academy in our city on the west coast which has grasslands and a bunch of hills, so we can build a navy when the time comes. Heroic Epic could probably go there, too. Or Timbuktu.
One other thing, Kimbu Saleh (or whatever it is) which is building the Forbidden Palace should get worker attention so the FP can finish ASAP.
Nice turns, Rex! We're sitting pretty now.

Although I'm abit surprised that you delayed Steel so long. As Cannons ar far better than Trebs steel is usual my first tech after chemistry.
