If you're particularly good at being brutal and don't mind ending the game before the world gets to the medieval age, go with the horse-rush. It only really works on pangaea or continents games with just a few players, but if you race to horseback riding and beat the hell out of your citizens under despotism, your neighbors are there for the taking if you send a stack of 5 ponies out to to each of them.
I prefer to let the game get to the later ages, though. Nothing crazier and more difficult to conduct than a limited, 2-sided nuclear war.
