Well there might be someway a pikemen might beat tanks, just hide in the woods and charge the tank commander when the turret is open, then start stabbing inside, you want unrealistic try losing a fighter plane to a warrior.

I dont like spamming cities, they rarely get defended well so once you break through the outside the inner ones are quite weak and ripe for plunder, the only way to save lots of cities is if you are rich and have good technology so you can buy defensive units everywhere.

One fun but very mean tactic is once you have spies and nuclear weapons you just start infiltrating key cities and nuking them. Also early on in the game if you go to war early and have some horsemen, send them to enemy territory and start pillaging, get rid of the mines to slow productions and then irrigation to starve, then stay on thier most productive square so they cant get resources from it, but try not to stay too close to the city so they counter-attack and you cant run.

I think the best unit in the game in modern times is the helicopter, can capture cities, can fly forever, although fairly weak in terms of attack and defence compared to other units they are great for getting behind enemy lines, paratroopers are good as well for sneak attacks but they are not that strong either.
