no allies
One of my games I will always remember is one of my first games (exactly: the 2nd) in deity mode. I was Alexander of Greece. My people settled on a big peninsula. My direct neighbours were the French and the Americans. I didn't manage to make them allies, so a 4000 years long war began. On the other side of that continent there was a big civ, too: the mongols - so the fate of France and America was clear.
Separated by a small channel, there were the Zulus. So the game promised a lot of "fun". There were some other nations, too, for example the Romans and the Egyptians. During the Game the Egyptian Empire was split into two Empires: the Persian and the Egyptian (the first and only time I saw this in a real game).
The Zulus managed to nuke one of my biggest cities, but my revenge was cruel: I nuked 4 or 5 of their cities (using spies), including their capital Zimbabwe. I also nuked Paris and some mongol cities. I won the space race, building the fastest spaceship (all structurals) by selling factories and other city improvements, one year before the mongol spaceship could land.
