Goal: Diplomatic victory - Emperor difficuluty - continents map - "large" map (10 civs)
Background info: I've never gone for a diplomatic victory, but I've gotten a domination victory on emperor difficulty - Earth map. I got all the victory types on prince difficulty (accept for diplo of course).
I get the impression that diplomatic is a pretty easy victory, but I don't want to go into it without a plan. As far as I know, the way to win is to have all or most of the city-states allied with you. The most obvious way to do this is to have a lot of money to "gift" them. Obviously, you want to max out the patronage tree ASAP. I would think the best way to make money is to expand the empire and build a big network of money-producing cities. Do I need to have all the civs friendly with me, or is it enough to get all the city states on my side? What else am I missing in my plan?
