Settler cheat ? Never heard of it, but I have won at Emperor level.
Try playing the Americans on Earth. Remove the Aztecs, acquire 12
cities and research like mad (Republic/Democratic). Railroad everything 
in sight.
Build a huge army (armors and artillery), change to Monarchy and
attack.
Save a lot and go back if things go wrong - some consider this cheating 
but hey, the computer isn't fair either.
Another usefull technique is the "overnight city". Get 8 settlers
together, railroad and irrigate around a mapsquare, build the city
and add the settlers to the population. Buy the granary, library,
marketplace, temple and aquaduct. 6 turns, and it's already bigger
than 10.

Good luck.
