Things to Do During a Boring Endgame Suffering from ads?

1. Attempt to get every tile in every cities radius improved using the optimum improvement available. This becomes more challenging if you are haven't reached the genetic ages yet, and so every now and again you have to start all over again. You may wish to put the farms down last, or your cities will grow while you go round the earth, and you'll need more turns. Attempt to do this in 30 turns. Allow for at least 50k per city. It doesn't count unless you have more than 100 cities.

2. Rush-Buy in every one of your cities all at once! You should have enough gold by now, but it doesn't count unless you have more than 100 cities.

3. Make a queue of Wonders - 5 should be enough if you can time it right... Load the queue into 6 (or more) cities at once in such a way as to get all the wonders to finish on the same turn.
The first city builds one, all the rest reload the queue, reallocate production, and the second city builds one. Then the rest of them reload the queue, reallocate the production, and the third one builds one. Then the rest of them reload the queue etc. etc.
NB: Save your game beforehand, I think it was this that caused my run-out of virtual memory and a CTD.

4. Disable Peter's surrender script, and see how many civilisations you can knock down to one city and no units. Then attempt to cajole them into giving up their last city for some feeble amount of gold.

Oh yeah, a friend of mine did that once in Civ2. And then of course they can't harvest resources from those tiles either.

Place a ring of forts around your land all with 12 Fusion Tanks in and pillage all your own roads/rail and build a perfect spiderweb of undersea tunnels and maglevs so it looks pretty

Nothing beats leaving one poor civ with 2-3 cities alive, putting Fusion Tanks all around it, and using your Lawyers and whatever other units you have on em .

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

... Build sufficient cities and improvements so that all tiles except those in opponent city radii are within your borders (Or slightly easier - don't worry about the sea tiles).

-22 what happens then do they start commiting suicide.

Another you just reminded me of but not necessarily end game, but certainly when you get bored, try winning a game using governers in all your cities from the start and never alter anything like tile imps, specialists or build queues, see how it feels to be the AI.
