Most of your townspeople don't really have the time to walk umpteen miles to get freshwater every day. Building your city on a freshwater deposit (preferably a river) is ideal, as it provides a ready-to-access supply of freshwater and an easily-used trade network. This is why most of the great cities on Earth today are built on freshwater sources. Nobody's going to settle for "well the lake/river is only 30 miles away, stop griping!"
I've got one more:
111) Barbarians, Lions, Pumas, Wolves, and Bears were all united in an alliance against early man.

112) Every civilisaton has it's very own Scotland Yard.
aronnax
Let your spirit be free
113) All armies come in groups of threes
114) Everytime two leaders meet, they bring a wallpaper of their own country and put it behind them
115) Swords are more dangerous the axes when used in a city
116) It is possible that you country's army has a regiment of some men in loinclothes holding clubs
117) Oil can never run out
118) All Human Progress will stop in 2050
119) No one will read this
120) The Pyrimids were being built in China, then one day the Emperor got a message that said "The Great Pyrimids have been built far away" and his Pyrimid turned into gold.
121) Leonardo vanished in a bright light after he painted the Mona Lisa
122) Some guy walked up to the Eiffle Tower while it was being contrusted, waved a scroll and the building was finished the next day.
123) And Finally, its possible to have more armymen than civilians (I tried this before)

126. We've already established that Great People live forever. Once a Great Person settles in a city, he can never do things like build a shrine, an academy, or discover a technology (lightbulb), ever again.
127. Caravels can only transport single persons like Great People or missionaries. It is understandable that they cannot transport entire armies while still able to transport these units. Galleons, on the other hand, not only can they transport entire armies, they have space for 3 regiments. If you can imagine a regiment of troops to be somewhere around 1000 soldiers, then galleons are thousands of times bigger than Caravels.
128. Immigration does not exist.
129. It is possible to randomly find copper in a mine after 5000 years of mining and knowledge of the metal.
130. All good civilizations created workers before any military units or buildings.
131. 2049AD and desalinization plants still haven't been invented.
132. Common people and their cultures define their nations' borders, not politicians.

Clearly we're running a true global democracy. You decide what nation you want your house to be in.

135. Its possible to whip your people into an army.
136. The more religions in a city, the happier the people.
137. Your soldiers are automatically better then your rivals if your leader is aggressive.
138. Cities will break off and join another nations if that civ has greater culture no matter how many troops are in the city, but yet will remain under your control even if unguarded, and whipped constantly.
139. Humanity will never again make a significant technological breakthrough, from now on all new technologies shall be named "future techs".
140. The Egyptians were capable of running any form of government due to their ability to construct tombs, however they felt monarchy assisted them the most.

143. Bouddica had nukes.
144. The destruction of the Amazon Rainforest is welcomed by all, as this initiative is bringing food and health to all.
145. Unfortunately, the razing of the Amazon Rainforest is not bringing any production benefits whatsoever to Brazil.
146. In a National Park, forest preserves attract not only scientists, but also engineers and spies!

The best one so far! 151. A Spaniard turned Buddhist is one of the most aggressive forms of life on the planet.
152. Cowering behind large stone wall is the best way to breed great generals.
153. Making Rock n' Roll does not require any knowledge of the concept of Music.
154. Horses may be hard to find, Elephants even more so. But there is always a herd of Camels in your back yard, regardless of where you live.
155. After mounted warriors of Cyrus had subdued three neighboring civilizations, Persian Scientists proposed that their backwards nation finally learn how to ride a horse. They then spent whole GNP of Persian Empire for several hundred years, trying to unlock the Secret of Horseback Riding. They would have spent more, if not for their fear of developing judicial system.
156. The next President of Poland shall be the man, who convinces Firaxis, that Poles must be included in Civilization. After his PR-team assures that Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, Roman, or Empire, Poland shall convert to hereditary rule under his leadership.

That seemed to be the case in real life too...

157. The leaders of ancient civilisations not only had the power of immortality, but the power of levitation too. Hence, they could see any occurence in their empire during the bronze age.
158. Spies wore special light refraction suits so they weren't visible to the floating leaders.
159. Mohammed used his mystical powers to invent Christianity. It is quite possible he regretted this afterwards.
