Okay on my first "Map"
I was playing a game as the Celts and had a peninsula of the great pangeal world cornered off to myself and had set of a defensive line (the thick greay line). I had expected that if any of the AI civs were to attack that instead of going through the jungle they would just take the quick way on the road into my defenses as they usualy do from my experiences. But NO! My defenses proved to be exactly what they were modeled after, The Maginot line! One of the AI civs declred war and the other two (playing on a tiny map) fallowed suit. I thought to myself "HA! they will tremble before my power!" but instead in the next few turns they sent 50+ mounted units of various sorts around my wall, through the jungle and straight to my capital!! All the meanwhile I left my guards at the wall because I didnt want the enemy to take it, and in two turns my capital was bye bye, along with my king, and any hope of winning.
I was beaten by the AI for only the third time in all of my civing experience! and all because I hung on to my old ways of war, well rest assured I promptly tossed my outdated startegies out the window (or so I had thought) and started a new game.
This time I hade an entire island to myself, built it up all nice and purdy and then WAR! A civ half way across the this time standard world had declared war. "They dont know how to use boats, they'll never see the glory of death at my hands" Two turns later a galley pulls up off my shore (2nd map grey dot) I figured that if they had anything in the boat they would unload right onto the shore and attack the closet city, meeting thier quick and painful death. and if they had nothing they would simply skim my shores and then disappear into the distant fog. I saw them start heading north so I figured they were empty, but I was wrong they went straight for my least defended, most out of the way city I had and landed right next to it. Needless to say they were still helplessly crushed when they attempted to attack, but the idea that the AI actually "thought" before making an attack impressed me
