How far behind is too far behind when playing?

I got really behind in the Middle Ages and somehow caught up in the industrial age. I had 0 luxuries because Spain was hoarding them on our continent. I struggled to get my citizens happy enough to build my cities up. I had to start building a bunch of temples, cathedrals, and colosseums to keep my people happy. I almost gave up on the game but someone I caught up in techs.

Anybody ever experience this? Anything to do in the future I could do better or help myself. No idea if what I did was right but it worked. Playing Monarch difficulty

I enjoy speeding up the game a little but is there something I’m missing out on since I play this setting often.
