Well, the AI tend to randomly attack you. That's why you need to do a few things, the most important of which is have ample and up-to-date defence for your cities. You should also pay attention to which AIs like and/or dislike other AIs. Another good idea is to decide what kind of victory you want before or soon after the game begins. Then, you can base your strategy off of that goal.

Also if an AI likes and he contacts you to make a deal. You should go for it even if its one sided. Because if you don't he will get angry with you saying

-2 "You refused to help us in our time of need"

Of course, that's only if you really can't afford to go to war with that AI. :thup:

War with an AI sucks, unless you can easily destroy them very fast (Which usually isn't the case if your on a harder mode). Otherwise your people get moody because of the War and if you make a peace treaty the AI keeps the longest grudge. (Which means you have to keep more units close to your borders and leaving less units in your major cities because he could invade at any time.)

War weariness can be avoided with the Police State civic. If you can afford to go to war, you should be able to afford to destroy your enemy.

I have barely played Civ 4 at all, but Galactic Civilizations II, now that's something. I can easily spend 10 hours a day playing this day and still feel I need to play more. I get into some uber-nerd-trance when I play it. I Totally love it too.

I have gal civ 2, but I find it quite slow paced. I like real time games better.

Yeah, it can be slow paced but I don't mind really. I like both RTS and turned based games. But that's the thing, when it is that slow paced it usually involves a lot more economy, long-term strategy, diplomacy etc.
