Question: Which civilization AI plays is most annoying to you?

Mine: Aztecs by far. Then Zulu.
 
Germany and the Mongols tend to march a stack right up to your capital and try to take you out early every now and then. Germany starts with Archers and Spears, so they usually succeed if they do it.
 
They probably don't know if you capital gets under their command they are going to die(by starting a new game :D )
 
England, by far. I NEVER seem to manage to stay on their good side. EVER. They're always at war with me for some reason or another. I've learned to take them out as early as possible.

I get along fine with the Mongols and Aztec. If anything, they've always been my strongest allies in most games. Most odd.
 
India for me. Gandhi will pretend to be all nice and peace loving, even agreeing to ally with you against your sworn enemies...

.... And then declare war on you five turns later, completely outflanking you and forcing a two front war.
 
In games with lots of war... Spain... especially on a pangea map.
In games where I play more peacefully and want to research quickly AND the AI can do serious research, Sumeria.
 
India for me. Gandhi will pretend to be all nice and peace loving, even agreeing to ally with you against your sworn enemies...

I have to agree with psweetman there, India does seem to do that a lot!
 
The Hittites. They always make demands, sneak attack me, pop tons of huts and beat me to the slingshot.
 
Anyone who is near me and is considered "stronger" than me. Before iron age, I usually am war with atleast 5-7 AI's.

Personally I don't like Zulu and greece, both are tough nut to crack, Wich I cannot crack without using catapults or superior force (outnumbering defenders 4:1).

I do dislike Zulu due their sneak attacks (impi can move two tiles[means:bye defenseless border town!])
 
America is no slouch in the backstabbing department either. Another one I often run into is China, you need to guard your border towns well once Chivalry is out there. A Rider rush can really be a pain. Maybe we need a multiple choice poll to determine who the worst offenders are.
 
the Inca and Aztecs have always been quite annoying, although I've been finding the Mongols increasingly more and more annoying as I continue to play
 
The Japanese annoy me because samurai are too buff to attack and guarantee a win.

My solution - if they are on the map, I try to get to them before they can get samurai.
 
I have another tribe on my you-know-what list: Korea. They always seem to end up my enemy, and if they get nukes, they use them.

When I nuke them back, it feels goooooooooood.
 
Iroqouis. The RNG always picks them, and they always end up super-powerful. I wasn't to pleased to see "The rampaging Iroqouis forces have destroyed the Germans" or something the turn after I met them.
