I find that immortal is really only materially different from emperor during the first 150 turns or so. During that time, you're going to be playing from behind. There is also far less margin for error if you do things like neglect your defense. After the first 150 turns, you just have to have the game sense to see and commit to a path to victory. Runaway civ management is perhaps the most important skill in this regard, because you can get buried very quickly on immortal.
This is why I have stopped playing the game in single player. Many civs are disadvantaged just by having ancient/classical/medieval era UUs or UBs that don't help them catch up. Much more fun to just play PBEM.

Took me 9 hours to get science victory.
Ya... wow... fck this game. I need to sleep.

Is there any factor that makes the AI attacking you more probable/often? Like lots of culture?

There are a number of factors that can be boiled down to:
1) AI personality (some are more aggressive)
2) Their military strength relative to yours
3) Diplomatic relations (check the diplomatic relations page to see your history with a given AI and what the modifiers are)

What a horrific set of neighbors. Then again, you can eat a DoW from just about anyone on immortal. All of the AI's tend to be aggressive, particularly if you have a small military.
And the funny part is the only other civ who did not neighbour me was Elizabeth... she hated me to hell because I was a "warmongering menace"... because Bismark kept dow'ing me. I basically had no trade partners at all.

You can open similiar to that with Liberty and get more than 4 cities, I generally like that only with cities that have some bonuses towards wide empires, for example France. One thing to note, the only bad effect of having unhappy people (until your unhappiness reaches 10) is that your cities grow 75% slower. Often it's a good idea to settle a lot of cities and sell luxuries until you are down to 9 unhappiness and then recover from there, when your sold luxuries come back 30 turns later and maybe with some happiness buildings/trade routes/religion.
What is 'CB' in this guide?

I'm guessing in that guide the CB refers to Composite Bowman. Notice his screenshot has many Composite Bowman icons and he refers to them as able to take cities and chase barbs.

The most important and never-failing factor in this is the AI's military strength compared to yours. The AI will never attack you if he thinks he is weaker than you.
Beyond that, I am sure most people will tell you (based on anecdotal evidence) that an AI is more likely to dow you if he hates you. I personally think this is likely to be true, but I don't think we will ever know how much your relationship with an AI actually affects his decision-making.
Ultimately it depends on the AI. First of all, the AI personalities dictates that they hate you for different things and you can't please all of them. For example Ramasse will usually hate you a lot if you dow a couple of times on other people; on the other hand Napoleon doesn't care even if you dow every single living soul you see.
A declaration of friendship (dof) strongly affects the chance a particular AI will dow you. A lot of AIs are not willing to declare war on you while you two are publicly known as friends - and as far as how you can become friend with an AI, again this depends on the AI's personality. This is not infallible, however, as many AIs are more than capable of backstabbing you - Elizabeth and Dido are well-known examples.
There is a chart somewhere that shows the personality of all the AIs but I can't find it anymore. As you play more, however, you will definitely learn the AIs' traits. It doesn't take long to know, for example, Montezuma and Alexander are super-aggressive early on and will try to kill anyone insight.

the #1 rules to not get attack is to not settles forward to a Civ. They will hate you like hell for that. Specially if they are an aggresive civ like caesar, Alex, Napoleaon, mongole, etc.

If only they gave you the same consideration. I Hate how they will settle in any available spot even if its right in between all your city's

Yeah, I fucking hate that shit. Let's send the 4 strongest AI's to war against me when they were all previously friends because one of them decided to settle a shitty little city in a spot that gives them absolutely zero of anything, then tell me off for expanding near them when my city expands due to culture.
That shit needs to go somehow.

You seem to think this isn't how it works in the real world?

I don't really see civ as a real world simulator, do you?
I'm fine with a challenge, but when that shit happens it's just boring and it offers no solutions to counterplay other than focusing on army/conquest, which is boring to be forced to do every time. Diplomacy in this game is just extremely underdeveloped, which is definitely noticable when you get to hear the same stupid punchline from the leaders 100's of times over the course of a game.

The city is named Buffalo, how appropriate.

How exactly should I transition from a wide/ICS opener? For example in the picture above I took most of Rome's land with ICS... should I just keep going on conquest? It feels so hard to do anything else with ICS.
