I've done some satisfying warmongering as the Greeks and Aztecs, and done a cultural victory with Gandhi, so I'm now ready to try for a science victory (which was my favorite in Civ IV).
The choice of good civs for warmongering and cultural victory seemed pretty obvious, but which is good for a space race seems less obvious. Nobody except China has UB that provides science, and the advantages there don't seem significant. I'm thinking maybe Greece or Siam (for the city-state advantages), or maybe Russian (which looks all-around good, and I haven't tried playing Russian yet).
Suggestions?
