So I could not finish that game because the tweaks I made to some of the AIs since that game made it impossible to keep playing.
* Austria and France moved to Hegemony to fit their history and UAs more
* Inca moved to Imperialist while Maya moved to Hegemony
* Portugal moved to Imperialist

Switched some things around so it made my previous save game unable to play. The civs are listed in order of their archetype from Nationalist, Imperialist, Federalist, and Hegemony.
I'm gonna change it up from what I usually do and run a Might, Piety, Industry, Rationalism policy path. I usually run Tradition, Aesthetics, Imperialism, Rationalism. I want to see if Piety/Religion can generate a lot of Tourism and if Industry can replace compete with Imperialism for military supremacy.
Turn 108
Wars
The Inca tried to invade the Iroquois, failed, and the Iroquois tried to attack in reponse and failed.
Portugal and the Ottomans are teaming up against Ethiopia and it appears that Ethiopia is in trouble, but I haven't seen their lands yet so I can't really say for sure. They've lost a ton of their military and Ottomans are gaining strength.
Me and France are the strongest military powers and I'm about to take the top spot because I have a total of 14 Iron already, and more to come once I research Machinery. The Inca are pretty much doomed at this point since Iroquois are a "friend" and I denounced Inca for their "aggression."
Economics
Nobody has villages yet, so there's a bit of a GPT problem for France, Inca, Portugal, Iroquois, and Korea but only France's deficit is serious. They have an enormous military, but their GNP is growing and they have 368 in reserves so they are fine if growth keeps up.Portugal is the only unhappy civ because they're at war, have 5 cities already, and presumably don't have much infrastructure yet.

Wars
I conquered the Inca as planned, but it did not go exactly as I expected. Iroquois were still fighting them and when I had the city's HP down to like 5, the Iroquois units took the city. So I double crossed them and took Cusco lol. They pushed toward Moscow but I doubled back to push them out and they signed a peace treaty after retreating. They are terrified of me so they offered a DoF that I took because they are useful as friends.
The Ottomans are still trying to conquer Ethiopia but its not working out very well for them. They have expanded though because they and France tag teamed Portugal and have reduced the Portuguese to the point of irrelevance. Portugal definitely overexpanded early on and it backfired. France really wants to wipe them out.
Economics
Everyone's GNP is growing, but the top 4 economies in the world are Russia, France, the Ottomans, and Iroquois, who have expanded to the south and now have 10 cities.
GPT is looking very good, with only minor deficits and lots of treasury reserves for civs with negative GPT.
Every civ has positive happiness, which means this economic system of priorities is taking care of the myriad of things that are necessary for the people to be happy in CBP.
Policies
Russia - 5 Might, 5 Piety

Kind of annoyed that Ethiopia and Ottomans aren't graduating to later policies, but maybe it doesn't really matter.

Korea has a lot of top spots for a small 3 city arrangement, but I predict that they will start exploding in GNP pretty soon. They've benefitted quite a lot from France being so preoccupied with Portugal. The Ottomans might be a serious force too because their mastery of trade has greatly enriched them, which makes everything easier.
Obviously, France and Russia are the top dogs tho and I might need to take out France sooner rather than later because they're going for Patronage. I am playing Nationalist so if there's anything a rival can master that will really mess with me it's the World Congress. I'm not even slotting Civil Servants or building Scrivener's lol.
The answer to whether Religion can compete with Aesthetics is unclear right now. I get the Tourism from the religious buildings, but we'll see if the Iroquois and Korea are stronger than me at generating it.
