You can reduce that warmongering score by freeing citystates and foreign cities.

Convince the Ai to attack other Ai and city states, then free the city states for a free liberation bonus.

Then again, I play on massive maps with Massive timescales and almost 20 nations. So it's easier to find a friend and the Ai fights war all the time.

That... actually sounds like a lot of fun. Is it hard to keep track of all the countries? And how many weeks/months does it take to end?

I'm actually playing on a huge map with a maximum % of nations.
Right now i'm somewhere at the bgining of the modern era (just got tanks and fighters) and it took me around 8-10 hours.
i'd like to point out however that in the marathon timescale bulding something as simple as a road takes around 16 turns and the fastest building you can get in a new city is the monument that needs over 20 turns to build... while a granary takes 30-40.
Quite honestly its better to just build everything (or at the very least units) with gold when you play a marathon game because it's pretty damn hard to see what you will need 20+ turns in the future.

Also not sure about the expansions (i'm playing more or less vanilla with some minor DLCs that went along with the Game of the Year edition) but on my huge map only 12 rival civs can spawn... and i reduced that number to 8 already.
They do however spawn upto 24 city states.

 start on the coast, with a lake, 2corn, and sheep.  cool.  I scour around.

nothing.  I mean nothing.  Some wine up here, a gold mine over here.  Cows to the east.  nothing worth taking except the gold and the elephants in the jungle.  which I didnt fogbust before barbs took it.  to top it off Ive got zero rivers, my sea is 12 tiles big, and Monty is north, nappi is east, mansa south and Suleiman is west.  hostile company.  Well, I boot up my wonderwhore mode, let monty and sulie fight over who can convert me first to their religion (sulie won) and spread it to nappie.  I cottage the everloving shit out of every grass tile I own and manage to grab swadie blahblah, the wonder that unlocks pacifism early.  I cant keep up with their armies anyhow.  Nappie and I stick like glue and Take out mansa, letting me finally expand to 8 cities.  I just polished off paper, and will look for Sankore for the science.

Im not much ofa peacemonger or good at culture wins, but this (terra, I suspect) map gave me a real challenge.  Shaka is rocking around successfully, Egypt is stealing wonders, and Oh god I need more money. The ai gets too much to also leave me broke so early.

Blessed melee weapon. Blessed throwing weapon. So many flying enemies.

Teach me your skills! Although, admittedly I'm pretty terrible at M&B.

The most important thing is getting started, then it's a breeze.
After the tutorial quest, try and win a few tournaments while betting on yourself as much as possible, then just run around hire as many recruits as you can.
Train them up to a decent point, and then join any army you want, and start pillaging villages, as they contain many valuable trade goods.
Sell trade goods, and repeat.
Pillaging 3 villages made me like, 9k.

My buddy, "Comrade Mime Sniper" (pictured), got shot and I took his spot (Actually behind the wall like a normal sane person, though). Using my bolt action rifle, I racked up multiple kills before a German rifleman snuck up behind me and shot me. Better than most of my runs on this game, at least.

I started by doing a backflip, and balancing on my left hand. I then spun around, flipped over and grabbed Uke's shoulder in midair. Pulling him into me, I quickly kicked him in the face, HARD, completely decapitating him. The replay ended up looking way more flashy than it sounds.

I'm pretty sure that I'm actually starting to get kills in PvP now It's typically only in massed combat, not 1v1 yet, but I think I'm contributing a useful amount of damage and landing killing blows once in a while.

Man, I am terrible at that game. Although I've had far too many kills from my own side for no reason, I think shots clip or something.

[MaximumZero]

I've been playing a game that won't officially exist for another two weeks. That said, I'm really glad it's getting a day one patch. It needs it pretty badly.

[Parsely]

Don't be mysterious what is it?!!!?!!

[hops]

Probably a game in closed alpha/beta that MZ is legally obliged to not spoil.

What do you mean shots clip or something? Like go through cover and stuff?
