BNW basically took any competitive value away from early war and wide empires. Look at this forum for instance, nobody here believes in having more cities than luxuries, every player will berate you if you play wide and not 4 cities tall. Then when it comes to early war mongering, if you don't have a trade neighbor you can't build a army. Trying to build a army means -23 gold and no science. This completely kills civilizations like the Huns that are reliant on having 6-8 horse archers, a horseman, and a few battering rams in the first 75 turns.
