I just started a game with France. At the beginning it all looks quite normal, but after some turns strange things began to happen. I made the screenshot the moment the Americans spawned.
1. The Germans have been destroyed by the Romans, just one turn after they've spawned. This also gave me the chance to conquer Frankfurt.
2. At around 1500 AD The Vikings conquered the Maya and nearly the Aztec, too.
3. Since Rome destroyed the Germans they became a super power, always leading the scoreboard.
4. Nearly all Europe is either allied, vassal or an ally of an ally. The big alliance: France with his Vassals Netherlands, Inca and Aztec, Spain with Vassal Mali, Rome and Russia with his Vassal Viking. The only country not in this alliance is England, but that should be obvieous
EFIT: Just two turns later England became the vassel of Russia and America became the vassal of Rome.
5. Russian Colonies in Africa.
6. The Vikings still control half of England. Oh, and the reason why their Capital is there too isn't and OMG. I attacked him and he lost his normal Capital.
That's a very good one.
