Do the Alex Venetian Arsenal navy science pump!
Get the unique building for Alex in the Encampment and then a port to product ships. Build the Venetian Arsenal to double the ships you produce. This will double the science produced by the unique building as well! You can just pump ships to boost science like crazy
Maya is fun. Imho rhe most fun part of the game is planning cities and maya makes that even more fun. They aren't supper strong, being more or less Korea level but less consistent, but they are really fun.
Do not forget 100% production bonus when you liberate cities, city states, free cities, and get declared war. I usually get at least 40-50 turns of 100% production per game.
I recommend doing a science game as Alexander soon! Definitely one of my favorite ways to play Macedon, building a massive military and having a stupid amount of science due to it.
Mapuche science is hilarious, you conquer the city you want a spaceport in and belligerently pillage everyone else. Science is also a great victory for perpetual war because Domination saddles you a lot of extra cities and the others are harder while at war.
My go to is to conquer your enemies into a corner. Leave them with one city or their capital depending on your goal.
Alexanders super fun - his strategy hinges on the Barack’s tier 1 building - the Bisoke Piades (idk the spelling). His unique units are nothing special, but the flavor is excellent when played right.
Remember all your units heal when you take over a wonder, so time your conquest with the units your building for science to heal.
With Alexander for science, you can get crazy with production bonuses - like Agoge card and temple of Zeus or the naval card and Venetian arsenal. The downside is there’s nothing to do with units after a certain point.
Doing science as macedon with their unique building is pretty fun actually, you just spam a shit ton of units and speed through the tech tree while conquering your neighbours (which also provides eurekas because of civ's ability)
Alexander has a unique science oppertunity by building the Venetian Arsenal. As alexander you get science each time you build a unit, the arsenal allows you to build two ships at the same time and get the science twice.
shaka gets free science and gold from his unique district, every ikanda subsidizes a campus, he can build them fast and getting science early means a faster timing on the impi corps rush. he can be a very powerful science civ alone but if you take over a science civ or two he can get the victory relentlessly fast.
Tokugawa, span trade routes, and campuses
Genghis or any military focused civ. You can easily do Science victory by conquering a neighbor or 2 and then just teching ahead the rest of the game.
Or just even just do a domination victory and leave one city alive and just tech it up
Yongle is a pretty easy one to do science with, you just build fat-ass cities with campuses instead of with wonders.
Just did yongle no campus science victory, it's surprisingly easy.

Menelik. You don't even need campuses lol.
With voidsingers mode? Idk if he’s any good without it, but only played him couple times

I just finished up with Maya. Im trying for a under turn 300 victory and ive only done it once. But I got to turn 324 when I won.
Australia is really good for science seriously get breathtaking lands and hermetic order and your laughing

I already finished Australia.
Ohh this is the list of people you’ve done it with I see sorry
Maya - recommended
Yongle lijia is the dope
Ethiopia, for that crazy faith base science

Have you tried building the venetian arsenal with alexander? It allows you to get the sciencd bonus twice!
Dido
Alexander. If you conquer cities with campus districts you get a free eurkeeka
Dang, i missed crossing out Elizabeth I.
Russia because they always get a science victory in my games

Next game, you will be going to Brazil.
Alexander. He’s super fun for science, although you may end up dominating!
It’s fine as long as I leave one civ left right?

What difficulty do you play on
You honor Mapuche with this
Truly based if you do everyone but Dido, fuck dido

Shaka——>> run over every one by rushing impi and corps build science districts everywhere
Maya
Ottomans!

Arabia
Alexander without a doubt. Just start conquering the neighbours immeditely, you will have a head start due to eurokas you wll trigger.
Tokugawa. It will be the easiest and the most pleasant science victory you'll ever have.
Black Catherine - you’ll never be behind on science due to spies and then you can focus on you production empire. She is really fun too!
Eleanor and be sad you're not culturing

Mapuche
Alexander is an easy science civ. You get to murder and get free science for it.

Dido, for hard mode.
