Do you guys ever play?  I play on deity and I am happy if I can just beat the game.  I see dudes winning in 1200 AD.  How the heck do they win so early? 

They cheat

I dont play it but its possible.  Its a matter of playing the same map many many times.  and knowing the game mixed with luck.

Check out the civfanatics forums they will outline how to.
