Ok I'm being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but consider the evidence:
A game start with absolutely no luxes anywhere near capital
A game where from the off my happiness just kept bombing whatever I did
A game where at T72 I got invaded by an infeasibly huge army of Celts
As posted, all of these have happened to me recently, together with some less dramatic examples - and all have happened when I've started a game from the main menu after a victory, not when I've loaded up the game and started a new one.
You know how some of the conquered civ messages are along the lines of "You've beaten me in this life, beware the next"? Well I'm starting to believe that it isn't just hype...
