Decided to immediatly take the highest difficulty (thought why is deity removed ?) since I have quit a good amount of time in scenario and also because I thought china would be an easy pick (it wasn't)
Immediatly I moved my settler to the side for petra and observatory (I didn't got the time to built the later) and took an indepandent city
after fighting some barbarian for culture, gold and XP I played super aggressive against my neighbours. Multiple empires got crush under my army and I also got a good number of wonders
could not hold against arab bonus points
Strangely they didn't got a win right away but instead I saw the defeat screen much later
it was very weird, because right at those moment arabia collaspse, so it's very strange they win by going extinct
I did continue my playthrought until I got 1000 role play points myself but it was very long and kinda boring
here's my fought on it : the early game with china is fighting barb and building an army wich sounds good and made me very powerfull in the region. However I had no indication of how the role play work (How many points per units ? do their strenght count ? Do they give point if I bought them ?) and the bonus was minuscule compare to what other civ can get (arab or hun for example) so I felt a strong disconnect between how I crush empires and how I was rewarded.
Also honor seems a little too strong with the culture bonus on killing barb. Having a secondary role play objective could be very helpfull here
