Babylon 6
Songhai 7
Mostly because Babylon is powerful but boring, while Askia is powerful but also a blast to play

I'll do it.
Babylon 8
Songhai 0
This is to emphasize that we cannot ping a civ we haven't played, so Babylon win is inevitable.

I Still Prefer the super gold bonus of Pillage,because money is slightly more important than science here(you can't sign many RA or bride ALL the city states or even maintain science buildings w/out gold). But at least,Songhai has just lost to Babylon,unlike ALL the other civilizations. Guess Firaxis knew what was doing when they put babylon at deluxe edition.

*Sigh* I don't think this was entirely accurate as I don't see the Babylonians as being the best. As I said before, I think they are 4th at best. But I guess some Siam supporters really don't like 'em.

Science rules all in Civ 5, and Babylon is made to use/abuse that.
policy trees, increases in tile improvements, units, buildings, resources, etc etc etc... it's all based upon your science power.
Getting enough gold to handle RAs and CSs is simple enough for any civ. Not to mention, playing as Songhai, I don't get more than 3-4 barb huts on a standard map. After medieval rolls around, they don't seem to spawn much any more due to units being all over the map and the expansions of the AI. Only on maps (Archi/small continents) where you and the AI can't spread do they keep coming back.
triple pillage for cities is sweet though.

I guess I'm arriving too late to save Askia... my consolation is that I'll be pillaging the dreams of those who voted him out!!! HAHAHHA
Given how popular Babylon is I wonder if they will release a civ specialising in another victory condition. Pol, den, Spain and inca all focus on using certain map/terrain. Would love a civ with a blatantly culture bonus like great artists etc. Though I suppose we have France, any thoughts?
I had a blast playing as Babylon, i went wonder spamming while everyone tried to catch up in terms of tech. I had little to worry about in regards to military (Really technologically advanced army).
still prefer Siam though!

And Bluetooth comes in 3rd. 
He's one insane Dane.
And Askia comes in 2nd.
Because you have to be awesome to stand in front of a burning city
And Nebby comes in 1st.
Because when it's 400 AD and you have robots, you've won the game.
