Someone else may have already done this but Im too lazy to search the threads so I'll post it any way.
I was fighting the Egyptians (I was Rome) in my most recent game and they put up one hell of a fight outnumbering my units about 6 to 1. I had a slight tech lead and more cities than them so I knew that if I concentrated on defense sooner or later I would gain the advantage.
The advantage came when I started to press the war into their territory with my shiny new tanks against their infantry and calvary. I had managed to maintain rapid research and get well ahead of them so I began cranking out the tanks like nobodies business and set about cutting the roads to their capitol and pillaging all their resources.
Sure enough their unit production slowly ground to a halt and my tanks had to deal with the occasional longbowman. I now began the job of removing them from the face of the earth, they had started this war and I was going to finish it.
My empire was IMO already large enough so I did not want their cities but instead of just razing them as I would normally do in this situation I started accepting control of them, selling everything in them ie improvements for gold and then abandoning them after a couple of turns when my tanks had recovered a little. I had Sun Tzu so I always got barracks in them as it was on my continent.
They had built lots of improvements in their cities and I got about 100 to 150 gold for every city I captured by flogging everything off.
As I said someone else has most likely already done this and posted here already but I was quite pleased with myself.
