I remember back when I used to play in real life, some more skilled players sometimes went easy on me... only for me to end up winning when they weren't expecting :P Also, I had a friend who somehow once managed to beat the top deck at the time.

Games in Civ have little to do with real life geography (Viborg had deserts nearby, and Ribe was smackdab in the middle of a tropical jungle ), so that's definitely something I didn't know. The whole concept of a country divided into local landmasses is pretty out there for a continental like me, but really cool.
