very true bloodlust. the AI never uses their forts in the correct manner. Although this does help with pre-railroad warfare... they always put the fort 2-3 squares away from the city.

Yes! In a recent game I played, I took every city the French had by buying them, one after another in rapid succession (thanks for building those railroads, guys). Then, when only Paris was left and bribery was no longer an option, what message do I get? Yep: Joan of Arc has been declared President (and now, of course, has to waste shields supporting her units). I laughed out loud.
I would add to this that the AI seems equally reluctant to rebuild its capital, even when it has the money. In the last game I played, I had sent a ship to AC only to have the Sioux fire off a faster one a few years later (I got greedy -- mine had more colonists). In a panic, I threw everything I had at their capital, including sending my hard-earned stealth bombers on suicide runs. I sacked it -- just barely -- and, inspite of having several thousand in the bank, the Sioux chose to go capital-less -- and there ship came back, and I landed on AC and won my first Prince-level large-map game. Of course, they may not be dumb; maybe they're just cheap!

This has to be my favourite!
Yesterday, I started a game with the sole intenetion of Space Flight, I wasn't planning on fighting anyone but barbs. The Romans had other ideas though, and kept annoying me until I decided to wipe them out (the extra cities wouldn't do any harm, after all!). Not having much of an army, I sent dips and spies to sabotage and bribe their towns. When they only had about 2 or 3 left, I got the message "Romans discover Democracy", swiftly followed by "Spies report: Roman government overthrown". Damn, I think, they're goign to change to Democracy so I can't bribe the rest. What do they pick - Fundy!
