Thebes, 1938 AD, the turn before Cultural Dominance
A pure OCC Victory, on Monarch Level...
Grand time of play: 2 and a half hours or so. Only went to war once when I got Rocketry, and Greece had it as well, and they declared war. I immediately asked for MPP's with Sumeria and Babylon, and getting them. Naturally, this took the heat off me for the most part, and I was able to pump out Cruise Missles every turn, and every three or four turns when Greece would try to come in, I'd Cruise 'em and the Modern Armor would take them out if the CM's didn't.
I had to trade frequently for my resources, only having Iron and Aluminum in my city radius, and Gems as well. As I wasn't going on the offensive, I was not hesitant abuot trading my Iron to get either a Lux or two, a tech, or GPT to keep the Science maxed. Knights Templar was quite useful in storing up the Crusaders and then disbanding them as needed to hurry improvements. IT also allowed me to solely produce Improvements and not have to worry about putting out units once I got it.
The ODD thing about the AI stupidity coming at me was their total lack of common sense. They declared war, and sent in TWO TOW Infantry and a tank, against my Mech Inf, one Tank and a couple crusaders. Being the biggest on the block, there's no reason WHY they wouldn't send in a dozen or two tanks which would have easily gotten through. Not to mention that they attacked with the TOW's then sent in the bombers, instead of weakening my units with the bombers first.
Overall, it was a quick game, only really pausing to time getting techs as old treaties ran out so I could trade the techs for more resources, gpt and the like.
The following is the breakdown of the values of each of the various improvements and wonders built... (all 7 improvements, 1 small wonder and 14 great wonders). Only one was built with a SGL, even though I was in and out of first in techs all game. I built Manhattan's, and when they all switched to build the UN, that's when I pulled the SGL out of reserve. ... I'd been holding on to him from Free Artistry. And being only ONE city, that meant there were three of us, and the most I got was two votes, but thats the thing playing on a small world...

Isn't it funny how in the top-right corner it says the city wil expand in some 200 turns?  Pretty bad SK! 
J/K of course, I've never managed to get a culture victory. I got close once, but decided, hey, let's just build MA instead, and so I took the domination instead.

Emulator of Otto von Bismarck, Master of realpolitik, May he rest in peace.
But the liberals should be careful of screaming too loud ... of conspiring too well ... of undermining us too thoroughly. Because if they succeed, if they do get what they insist they want, then the result may well be something they never conceived ... "They have made a desolation, and they call it peace." ~Tacitus~ ... but a peace controlled by our former enemies.

Yes I just got my first Single-City Culture victory this weekend w/Paris, although I didn't have the gumption to do it with only one city... Congrats.

2009 will be better than 2008 for three reasons:1. 2008 was terrible. It has to be better or we're all in trouble. 2. 2009 is the last time any of us will see a single-digit-last-two year in our lifetimes. Unless one of us lives to see 2100. I don't plan to be 123 years old myself. 3. 9 is a good number. it is 3x3. 3 is a holy and lucky number. Three 3's is even better. Huzzah 2009!! 4. Cindy. For real this time. TCU Baseball wins the NCAA title this year. Remember I said that. ...Let's go Horned Frogs, Let's GO!!!...
