axident, out of curiosity, when playing Louis, did you play SE or CE?
It works with either, depending on whether or not you want to use your capital for building most of your wonders/GP wonderfarming.
I forget which came first now, but in some order:
Game 1 (wonderville SE): Capital was NOT wonderville; I made some coastal city my wonderville (NEpic, Moai) and also farmed it to death--it had horses too and a small river for watermilling, as well as 2 hills. Capital got massively cottaged in preparation for Bureaucracy. Oracle slingshot to CoL, also founded another religion later on for a hydra Wall St/Shrine combo city. In the meantime I stole a worker from Portugal, later made peace, then assaulted him for his Stone.. let him have one city, extorted tech, finished him off 10 turns later. Walk in the park. I could never figure out what other than Oxford to build in my capital though.
Game 2 (capital CE): I didn't want capital to be wonderville, but that's just the way it happened, and Bureau's hammers bonus helps out in such a case. Chinese city revolted to me courtesy of my GW/Pyramids city inflicting massive cultural damage on Shanghai. China DoW, I beat him off. Wound up finishing him later on but not before he vassalized himself to someone.
Very fun game as everybody was DoW on everybody and I got up to something like 10 great generals, plus I had the hugest tech lead I've ever had on Monarch (infantry vs. the muskets for my main rival, everyone else was infantry v. longbows), since I was technologically chugging along, but everyone else was in perpetual war and starving for GP points since I built almost all of the wonders. It was a huge bloodbath all game long, and at one point I was at war with all but 2 other civs, refusing to declare peace vs everyone since they gave me SO many GG points from their thwarted attacks, and I tried my best to keep their War Weariness extremely high (thanks, Statue of Zeus). Shaka did twice but my Oracle/Sistine/misc. other wonders city (which was inflicting incredible amounts of culture on his capital) was on a hill, and I kept reinforcing it with just enough spears, and later pikes and musketeers, that he just gave me a few great generals for the cost of a dozen units or so. I owned AP and dominated the voting, later on to "return" 2 of Shaka's core cities to me, which were suffering immensely from 2 of my western high-culture cities.
Edited to add: the poster above me generated quad-digit WW. Not bad, but I got Persia in that game I described to get way over 1500 WW.. I had to declare peace eventually though since the rest of the world did kill some of my units through sheer numbers, and I was suffering some WW of my own. Fighting defensive wars with Gr. Wall is fun btw.
, very fun!), as well as beelining steampower on the island part of a big and small map as willem, all of which were very effective 
. Oh and choprushing the great wall to steal techs from the most advanced neighbour is pretty sweet too.
