Please use this thread to post any Machiavellian strategies you use to fool the other civs.
I'll start by giving my favourite one which is to buy everything a civ has (tech, etc.) using ONLY a per turn transaction when I'm about to declare war on them. The declaration of war will erase my obligation to continue to pay for 20 turns/years and still gives me the upper hand with all the acquired stuff. Muuaahhaaaaahhaa!!!
