It is kinda true what xDaunt said, it will make some AI disregard city states, those who try to go for diplomatic victory will of course not try that and because of that not try to get a lot of CS friends. But others like Siam, Alex and Austria will still take CS allies because that is part of their personality The other way to go is to let it activated but not try to go for it. Diplomatic victory is pretty much an economic victory, because you just buy votes. If people dislike you, it cost more, but it's only a question of money. Unless there is one of the civs taking out city states (Gengis, Venice, Austria). In that case, having the votes is clearly harder. The amount of votes you get from city states compared to how easy it is to control them in the late eras is pretty retarded. Easiest win condition to go for by far (city spam, trading post spam, buy city states, win). I often go for different win conditions, and end up being able to win with a diplo victory a lot earlier than the targeted victory (because in most case, going towards the victory condition and being able to reach it mean you're winning, so winning the city states shouldn't be hard). | ||

Dont even need to bother with patronage -- but if you do get that 25% gold effectiveness -- it means you buy 3 CSs per MoV and you generate MoVs in a cascade roughly around the time when you are able to win diplo anyway because by the time diplo victory is open you probably had 3-5 puppet states with the entire market-->bank-->stock exchange thing filled out. | ||

You get no handicap by playing at Prince, so your build order etc should be the same. Only the AI gets small bonuses from Prince to King. Source | ||

Go read the civfanatics forums for some tips on cleaning up your play. I never lost a game on King and I don't even have a "build". This is not starcraft, if you have to research "builds" to play its not fun anymore. | ||

Quite frankly if they wanted to make it a bit harder they should hard force the ai to go liberty city spam, nothing a human will be able to do because with their tech, unit and happiness bonus by turn 100-120 the game will be over (you might overcome your neighbors but holland on the other side of the world will have +300 gold a turn, go freedom and buy the spacheship) Diety wins = too many ais going tradition/piety/honor and other sub optimal approaches (sub optimal for the ai, because of its tech/happiness/unit lead, obviously for human tradition is strong ((although as an aside, i find that liberty early attack almost always works out better unless I am venice and there arent any CSs to puppet nearby, then of course diplo victory is lord))) | ||

-A diminution of the tech penalty at like 3%, or a way to diminish it through social policies like you can with culture for wide empires. -A boost to pre industrial melee, probably a huge reduction of city to melee damages -A smarter system for city to city food trade routes. Either something that is dependant on the difference between city sizes so that its useless to send food from a small city to a big one or a real transfer of food s that you control growth but don't create growth out of nothing. -A return to a more opportunistic AI. I mean even Ghandi should kill you if you hang out next to him with no army and many wonders. Thats what any Human would do in the game, even the pacifists. | ||
