It is the year 1900 AD in the game I am currently playing. In the past 50 years since my last map, I've fought a lot on the Old World, and gained, oh, 50 cities, maybe, and killed a few of the 8 civs that have been destroyed between 1850 and now (3 were killed by Russia, Egypt, and Zululand).
By now, it's to the point where I'm assured victory, and now I just have to choose how I want to win.
Definately not culture, it's too late, and also not Diplomacy- I'm currently at war with Russia, Egypt, India, Portugal (Stupid Henry betrayed me!

), Zululand, Rome, and Spain, more than half of the 12 remaining (including me) civs.
But, then again, half the AI's in the game are also at war with 7 civs, and Japan's at war with everyone but me and Russia (It's a wonder nobody has killed them yet), so I guess I'm not doing as bad as I thought.
Anyway, here's the world in 1900 AD:
