I've gotten to the industrial era on "regent" level. It seems that the AI is not as good at the indutrial era as it is in the ancient era. I've been regularly crushed by the AI in the ancient era, but in my current game I'm pulling away in the indutrial era.
I've been rolling over Zulu and Japanese cities with my "advanced" culture. Culture seems more effecient than millitary to take cities in the later eras (so far...)
