Sorry gang, I made the switch. We took Beijing, Ulaanbaatar, Gordium and Kaifeng in the first six turns.
We're 109 tiles away from a Domination Victory.

This project that I'm on won't be slowing down until Thursday or Friday. I already have 31 hours for this week, and it's only Monday. Please skip.

Just let us know when you need some "Civ stress relief" and we'll reorder the roster.

Just pointing out the obvious w/ the exception of noting that I was using the Dyes as a waypoint for the workers so there might be some forted in that area w/ a few settlers as well.
I found that using the settlers to push the boarders to get Mao's cities w/i reach of the arty came in very handy.
BTW, I kept playing for my own amusement, as I'm not up in anything else and was able to finish in 1740. All the settlers in the queue come in handy to claim open territory in the far west of the continent and put us way over the limit. I hope that doesnt spoil anything.

Being at only ~20k culture and having to overtake the Chinese by >100,000 (I think that's the requirement) we would spend many a turn farming culture. Either go for the domination or, if we're in a particualary sadistic mood, we can avoid domination while we eliminate Mao altogether. But really, the poor fellow's already been backstabbed by us once so I would just glean the final tiles we needs and call it a day.
Fantastic game BTW. I thought Catherine was going to be big trouble and that our war w/ her was far too early. It turned out to be perfect.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it, jb! 
I have another in mind, but need to get my life back from this project first.
Definitely go for domination. I had just been joking about changing the goal to culture.

Took one or two towns per turn. (Lostsome armies while they were healing in a city flip - they were hurting bad) Most of the time I tried to take out the radar towers before attacking the town, but wasn't always possible. I needed most of the artillary in one stack to do enough damage to the defenders to capture the towns without armies. I think I had about 5 useful armies left at the end.
Even so, the Chinese fell before the Mighty Mongol War Machine
Domination victory in 1730.
Score 5210.
We played 78 hours, 44 minutes and 54 seconds
We are known as Temujin the Magnificent.
Here's the save file right before hitting enter, if you want to play it.

rrau beat my solo finish by a decade. Why am I not surprized?
hmmmmm, since it only took 16 turns for domination from the time I initiated the switch to Commie I wonder if we could have shaved off even a few more years by baiting Mao as was suggested before (Bede?). I think I'll toy with that one as well. Of course, after I finish up my SGoTM6 turns.
TGIF!!!

Nice job everyone. Thanks for playing! My idea for the next one involves an archi map, and no wars before the first AI war, which should be mid-to-late MA. The basic idea being to go happy on the land grab, develop your infrastructure, and then into a more modern war - something to involve marines. I also thought that I might mod the map to have only 1 location of a certain very important resource to match, but I'll have to figure out how to do this first.
Another idea that I like would be to try one of my two favorite maps as an SG, again emporer, if we decide that we like that - black sea bloodbath, or the warlord.
I'm looking for feedback.

I'm all for an archi map as I hate them. Sharing this experience w/ the rest of you nuts would be fun.
Random civ or should we handicap ourselves w/ a seafaring culture?
Where did my cheap merlot go?
A restricted resource to fight over? Whatever. Mod away Sir Bede!
