Some of these others have posted, others are still ramblings in my hed ...
- Build mines like crazy in the early game everywhere if you're not going to make a beeline *easily* for Monarchy.
- If you can get Monarchy quickly go for it over Republic. In fact, bypass switching to Republic until you get Democracy. The only difference seems to be that Democracy get's 150% production - Republic does not. Save the extra downtime and use your extra unit support capacity to prosecute a war against the nearest AI or spread settlers\workers like crazy.
- Whenever possible, double up your workers working tile. You get done in half the time. Granted, it's not so much as a time savings (since you actually take up a worker who could be working another tile) however you get done faster, which means you have access to the improvement faster. In certain cases this can really help.
- If you've got pop working a tile, build at least a Road, later Rail - Commerce is key, more so if you play a Commercial Civ. Get that Colossus up if you're a Commercial Civ ...
- Don't ignore Wonders - remember, they keep giving you Culture Points even after they are expired by another advance.
- Don't ignore Forbidden Palace & Courthouses - esp on large and bigger maps
- Make friends with some of the AI and team up in your wars.
- Ignore unclaimed tiles (outside your borders) between cities and in your core cities at your own peril - the AI WILL build a city if it has so much as a single square unclaimed in it's sights.
