On Palehorse76s encouragement I am posting a more clarifying description of my perfect war:
As it was I was playing against one of my friends, we are more or less on the same level, but I still beat him 8 out of 10 times. We normally both play to win by the space race, and usually the only wars fought in our games are against the AI. We sometime have some border skirmishes but nothing big. But in one of our last games I suddenly felt like have a war big time, so I slowly started building up my forces.
At this time (1670) we were almost the only two Civs left on the planet, and were on the same technological level, and since we both play a mixture of expand, expand, expand and perfect cities we had railroads and farmlands all over our islands. I had 84 cities and he had 76, we both had each others maps so I knew where all his cities where. Since there were no enemies left and I had build the workshop, all his troops were still phalanxes/musketeers/riflemen, and he hadn't build any real unites. Our home islands and most of our cities were located near the center of the map so when he tried to attack on of my cities that was located right besides one of his, things started to go wrong for him. We were allied and he didn't know that when you cancel an alliance all your unites on enemy territory is removed. So first he tried to attack me, then he canceled the alliance and then his few troops were relocated back to his city and couldn't do anything that turn. At that time I had build 130 paratroopers and some 50 tanks with some mech. inf. and howitzers and lots of cruise missiles. So I just stood up and walked over to his computer and told him that he was dead!!
He didn't quite understand, so he told me that if I wanted a war he was in and started to change the production in all his cities. When I finally got the turn I launched all my paratroopers onto all the islands that I could and placed all of them right outside his cities and started to bomb him with ships, bombers and missiles. After the dust settled down I simply walked in and took 64 of his cities on the first turn of the war. He never knew what hit him and I just couldn't stop laughing.
