That actually happens to me a lot when I have a MA with another civ....very frustrating!
Things That Drive Me Crazy!!!

When you and an ally declare war on a third civ. You send 30 units to kill the defenders in a capital city, after you reduce the enemy defenders to a few redlined units with 20+casulties, your ally kills the last 1 or 2 defenders with a lucky unit or two.

Once I want to war just to capture GL in Kyoto. Japan had some military, so I bribed Aztecs in. I conquered the whole Japan except Kyoto, and then the first Aztec units appear. And capture Kyoto.
But it gets even more interesting: I declared on Aztecs and captured Kyoto. Many years lates, still before Edu, Kyoto flipped. I had to capture it again. It was a bit frustrating...

I forgot one:
When I clean up pollution, the computer doesn't assign population to the newly cleaned tile. You have to remember to do that manually. Of course, the computer whisks you to another part of the board, and you have to remember where the pollution was cleaned!

The worst is when you lose good units like dromons, tanks, immortals, to galleys warriors and spearmen- I actually save the game before attacking with dromons or tanks against bad units because i get so angry hen I lose, I stop building averything except for military units and rampage the enemy

How about when my Ansar Warriors lose attacking longbowmen? my record is 3 Ansars dead before the longbowman. And to think I thought it would be easy to kill a civ with no iron... not when they have super-longbowmen!

Trying to transport units in the late Middle Ages or early Industrial Age when the seas are crawling with privateers. In one game when I went to destroy Scandinavia and bring my 20 cavalries back to my homeland, every single one of my galleons got sunk right after collecting them. Very annoying. I researched ironclads just so I could go out there and sink every last privateer.

When you have signed a right of passage then you want to war with them and you have to wait several turns when you were strong enough to do it before.

I know this has been done to death but I don't play civ3 in any shape any more because:
1) The one on one combat system is archaic, booring, tedious and grossly unrealistic. In fact, it works out to be a great cheat for the AI.
2) There are no decent consolidated menus in the game.
3) There are major flaws in some of the peripheral concepts such as the regicide game. After you kill all the enemy king's cheat created defenders, what happens, all the ai cities turn to rubble, great concept.
4) Stack movement does not work properly.
5) Too many AI blatant cheats:-(((((
And so on.
I discovered this recently and it is a real though provoker, having my first full campaign game now after some practice.

However, it suspect it is too realistic for most civ 3 players.
