Favorite Civs?

I'm having a ton of fun with Assyria, but what has most surprised me with them is that they're well-rounded, VC-wise, but play very differently from other civs. The Royal Library points towards Culture, the Siege Tower towards Domination, and the UA towards Science. And the way the UA let's you beeline and fill in the gaps elsewhere means that you can get some nice legs-up on Diplo Victory as well. ALl around fun and awesome civ.
