Your favourite Civs to play against?

I'd have to say: Aztecs, Incas and Zulu.

Whenever I see these I usually attack them since they are pretty lame little groups of savages. Especially Zulus. I mean, who ever heard of Ollyilytambo or whatever (one of the Inca cities). I usually just burn the cities as well unless there is something of worth in them, then rename them with proper names.

Yikes. Little groups of savages, well I wouldn't go that far. I think the point of having those included in the game Civilization 4 is that they're just that, civilizations. Aztecs were an imperial power in Mesoamerica pre-European conquest, and the Incans were pretty sophisticated. Zulus may not have had the awe-inspiring cities that the Aztecs and Incans had, but managed to give the Brits a run for their money in Africa..

Calling them savages is only funny if there's a punchline or a "haha" after it, and even with that its not very tasteful lol. I really hope you're joking or trying to provoke people, because you were being almost comically racist!

Regardless, Civilization does a good job at making me very pissed at Monty and Shaka quick.. although I like Huayna Capac.

I'm merely calling a spade a spade. Obviously these are the weaklings of the bunch. You can add Celts to it if you're all concerned about white/non white. They're also lame little savages They sucked off the dying Roman culture, contributing little of their own, and contributed to the Dark Ages brain drain.

The Zulus are probably the limit though, as far as concentrated lameness. They're just barbs.

suprisingly i have had very few problems with monty, just a few wars that i started, napoleon on the other hand...

civs that i like are korea cos they are fun to whip, and i seem to get on well with saladin

I like Montezuma of Aztecs because he's so easy to KILL. Usually most of his empire isn't worth much, but I still like killing the insolent #@%!...
I hate Catherine. She is always at least annoyed and she almost always discovers me as soon as she gets cossacks...

 

[Kietharr]

Tokugawa
Alexander
Montezuma
Isabella

If my alliances allow it I always wipe these civs out in this order as fast as I can. The ones I always try to ally with are Russians and Americans, Catherine in perticular. She ignores standings when asked if she would attack someone so she makes the ideal attack dog.

I like Hatty. She is easy to kill, friendly and not a threat. Chairman Mao is the Evil Incarnate. I always try to kill him, because a couple of times he has nearly rubbed me out in ancient times. I also dislike Qin.

Surround me with the "dream team": Hatty, Gandhi and Wang - feed them fat and collect their yummy cottages, Holy cities and Great Wonders once my army is ready

 

[Polycrates]

I like Isabella and Montezuma. They're no threat, and if you pick up their religion and throw them a tech or two they'll happily go beat up on pretty much anyone for you. And they just generally make a game interesting.
Gandhi is great just because he's so soft, I've never seen him put up the slightest resistance to my axes/maces/whatever, so he's basically a free empire.
Tokugawa is a tough nut to attack, but he mostly just sits around and stagnates.
Shaka is cool because...well because I just like Shaka.
Freddy once gave my macemen a city with seven wonders in the middle ages, which I thought was pretty cool, and the Germans tend to always be nice soft little whipping dogs in my games.

Yeah, Isabella is hilarious! I despise Mansa Musa, Asoka, and the likes, whom every other AI seem to be in love with. You can always trust someone like Isabella to go nuts at some point and liven things up.
