Having just won Egypt's Historical Victory I thought I'd like to say a few things about the AIs' performance.
Barbs/ICs - Hattusas (Barbarian) was razed by the ICs on the opening turns of the 2nd millenium BC.
China - Not much I remember.
India - Uninteresting.
Babylonia - They once controlled a bunch of independent cities, but then those cities rebelled and eventually captured Babylon itself in the 9th century BC. Then the Babylonians, with their capital gone, collapsed into oblivion.
Greece - They didn't build their 2nd city (Byzantion) until AD years.
Persia - They controlled a formerly independent city in Central Asia and Babylon when I won at their extent. They played a little better.
Carthage - I remember once seeing one of their cities being defended by only 4 mercenaries. That was a sight.
Rome - Their empire extended from Sicily to the northern shores of the Adriatic Sea at its greatest extent. Disappointing.
Japan - They somehow converted to Taoism after I won! WTH?
Ethiopia - Nothing but a blight on my empire from the minute they spawned. Their 2nd city (Bonga) was occupied by a Native Impi for one turn!
Maya - Zzzzzzz...
More to come...
