My first thought was whomever has a good early UU and starts on an edge or especially the corner is probably going to win.
I was a little surprised just how easily Greece rolled the map once they brought those cannons to bear. Ashurbanipal's large empire collapsed practically overnight. Those obsolete siege towers and crossbowmen were no match for Alexander’s cannons and riflemen. The Ottomans put up a better fight, but the AI loves the UU a little too much and they were obsolete by the time the Greek army showed up, but at least they put up a fight. More aggressive targeting of the cannons and they might have prevailed, or at least delayed the inevitable a bit longer.
Also, LOL at the AI for building so many settlers.
I'm a little disappointed he turned off religion, but I'm guessing the missionaries would be unable to move through enemy territory very well due to all of the military units and they would clutter the map.
Warsaw changed hands 18 times. At that point the residents have to check out the window every morning to see which flag is flying.
