She's got extras, but wont share.

I've had a couple games where I took 3 or 4 enemy capitols by coup. But, by then the other civs had put up their surveillance webs, so I wasn't able to get a domination win through spying. :p

I detest Maria I of Portugal, with her snotty looks. I voted for Maria Theresa because she's usually a land grabbing whore.

In my current game (I'm Morocco), Denmark has put up the toughest fight so far. Started with 14 civs plus me, and I took out 3 or 4 clearing my continent. Then I took down Russia and France on the northern end of another continent. Denmark is sitting to the southwest of my mainland on his own...
