Here's a super cheap trick to find out who your opponents are early!
On turn 2, attempt to rename your capital "Rome", "Moscow", "London" etc, working your way through every Civ.
The ones that do not let you do it are your opponents, who have already founded a city with that name.
Won't always let you know the exact leader, but it will let you know the Civ.
(This assumes all AIs have already settled - you can do it on turn 3 or 4 to be sure, but it's slightly less useful then).
Why is this tedious and ultra cheap trick useful?
- knowing who your opponents are may help inform your decision as to whether to chase an early religion or not
- also, later in the game when you haven't found the other continent yet (or especially if you're isolated) it will give you some idea who awaits you across the sea...
Anyway, to me it seems totally cheap so actually I don't do it... thought some might find it interesting though!
