it's a good thing this is only a game!
Sometimes, CIV BtS games make me realize how much of a dictator is burried in my genes. A machiavellian monster.
and isn't it great fun to clobber hopeless civs with privateers, gaining several generals, settling them all in a coastal city, add a drydock, and punch out new privateers with instant 7-tile range? Then later upgrade to destroyer and declare war on the entire world - only to sink their wobbling galleons carrying the precious riflemen by the dozen!

You were obviously playing on Monarch or below. It is usually the other way around on Immortal+.

Prince - I dislike the extreme boni the AIs get at higher levels. Playing catchup sucks too much; I want to something else during the earlier ages, too

It is a well known phenomenon that people who start to a video game are first impressed and engrossed by whatever kind of situation is simulated. After a while the story fades and the player has more eye for the gameplay and its mechanics.
In that respect this post is quite interesting. Apparently, whatever story is told in singular games still triggers players their imagination. The game still rocks!

Fair enough.
Still, yesterday I got a Great Artist called William Shakespeare looking like Elvis Presley.

Awesome. I can't look at Elvis without recalling the sounds from Grand Theft Auto 2 (yes, 2): "Uh-huh huh, yeah!"
