Report is not ready yet. So I'm posting a short summary here :
I went the early aggression way starting with japan. Toku was dead by 415 BC. I turtled for a while then went for russia. Peter was no real threat but the war took some time. One of the russian cities had both the pyramids and the colossus when I was close from getting banking and mercantilism. That made the game way too easy. Gandhi was the most advanced of the AI and managed to pick up liberlalism before me (2 turns). I went for him next and after finishing him, I realized I didn't have enough lands to trigger domination. With cavs, I assaulted china and got my dom victory in 1772 AD
The worst I had to fight in my territory was a landing of 6 units that costed me a village. But I had fun this being my first always war game.
