The ability to hold off city assaults is incredible.
Today I had one city with three civs (Monty, Bismarck and Bodicca) all at war with me at once. Fortunately, my city was on the coast and my population simply migrated to the ocean tiles and kept on bringing in the food.
I had one frigate in the city and one crossbowman. With those alone I held off everything that was thrown at me - knights, warriors, composite bowmen, musketmen, trebuchets. I wish there were a KUC (Killed Unit Counter) so I could report the total. Promotions piled up, more than enough to keep up with enemy units improving.
During all of this I was building wonders, running up a huge pile of cash and an impressive amount of happiness. I was buying up CS alliances and sending out Great Prophets by sea to spread my religion.
One by one the three enemy civs agreed to peace where there was no penalty for me - after over 125 turns of war.
