Emperor
Oh, it's not impossible at all to build wonders But you definitely have to limit yourself to one / two max IMO.Pretty much always standard speed Emperor. I don't have any difficulty/speed mods. I disagree with the opinion I often see expressed that Emperor difficulty makes pursuing early wonders or a religion nigh impossible.
I'm a religion-lover in civ and I regularly get a religion on Emperor difficulty playing civs with no bonuses to getting one. The same can be said for early wonders -- as long as I'm not trying to get the Great Bath, I feel like I have a fair shot at any other wonder. Stonehnge is risky but I've found that I'm getting it more often now that the Great Bath gives the AI something else to rush.
I also dislike the notion that Emperor+ difficulty makes peace unviable. That's just not true. You don't have to war to win at all, but of course, it does make it easier.
If you get a religion you gotta focus on it .I almost always go for one and it's easy to get I'd say...
