These GOTM's sure are fun! I feel much more comfortable in King right now than I do in Emperor, but then again, I feel like this setup put me in less challenging situations. As others have said, I DOFed pretty much everyone. Sweden denounced me once, but I never got DOWed all game. My last RAs wrapped up right as I was researching the last techs for the spaceship.
Again, used the 4 city Tradition approach. I opened Commerce since I finished tradition before Rationalism was open. I then made it down the left hand side of the Rationalism tree as well. I was in a very good gold situation the whole game from all the trading and my GPT, so I definitely was subsidizing other people's RA's. However, this also helped me rush buy unis and public schools in cities where my production was a bit lower.
My military was lacking for most of the game. I only had a couple composite bowman and a pikeman up until about turn 270. Then Sweden denounced me and I bought/built a few better units (as well as some good naval units) as I waited for my research to catch up to my production of the spaceship.
Overall, it was a lot of fun - I'm looking forward to the next game!
Here's my final 4 cities at victory. I love seeing that spaceship go off!
