messed up a faster victory in mid-game where I acted without any focus.
I finished the upper row of policies.
first SPs tradition -> Honor -> Liberty.
Capital in place, after a while built 2nd city to the west with pearls and the other dyes.
then took london after Elizabeth built 2 wonders in there with the immortals. Nice healing rate!
I sat around like that for around 100 turns having a lot of trade deals going on but did not really manage to increase culture production significantly. In midgame it took around 20 turns to get to next SP, in early and late game it is only around 10 turns.
china, rome declared war but I could block them and settled for flat peace again and again.
allied with city states and filled patronage. the tree is not as powerful anymore. lot of maritime CS allowed my capital to grow to size 29. greece was getting powerful and attacked my allies - this made me sending 4 rilfes, getting the CS back and taking puppeting most of alex. this would have been significantly more difficult on other difficulty levels. had cannons that upgraded to artilery - no issue taking the continent.
according to the opinion of others in the forum, expanding a little more would have been beneficial.
the screenshot showes my "operational base"
