Get Fundamentalist Govt. Tech. Make sure your good distance ahead of your opponents before doing this. Build massive fanatics and Spies/Diplomats Since Fanatics don't require matinence, u can build hundreds and have you spies/diplomats destroy city walls then move your fanatics in to get the city.
Simple isn't it?

Those crazy fanatics! Great units to use as missle shields and decoys too......... they're definetly open ground units-- wouldn't try using them to directly attack a city(unless the enemy is WAY behind), even with the walls down. They're great to pick off lone enemies, pillage and cause havoc.........I think thats all they really were designed for---they're not offensive or defensive, but get enough and oh yeah they can be dangerous...........just like any unit really......Fanatics just happen to be dirt cheap to produce...

Detonate a nuclear bomb in a friendly neighbour's city and get caught.

Armageddon when the whole World declares war on you!!

Nothing better.
