How can he
1. Have an army bigger than me
2. Be ahead in tech
3. Be ahead in social policies
4. Befriend all city states with hundreds of favour
5. Have a reformed Religion
6. Have more money than me
WITH ONLY 2 SELF FOUNDED CITIES??
He killed a CS, has 2 cities of his own. I have 5 cities, 1 is called Bablyon, the other are my 4 core cities. I'm playing the Aztec, Tenochtitlan is huge (21 pop in the late Renaissance Era).
I have NC, and University in all my cities. I also grabbed rationalism. I stole at least 3 techs from him.
I am on Immortal.
I can uderstand everything except for the city state buttbuddy friendships. Now that he has all the CSs on the Island I can't even trade with anyone. I can probably kill him within 50 turns or so, but the other continent is a diplomatic Haven with 0 wars going on, 1 of them is Korea and while this d***head is forcing me to train units they will just snowbal out of control.
This is just so annyoing. The only way to make this game challenging is to make the AI cheat like crazy.
Can somebody just analyze the situation please? I can understand the massive Army, it's Askia after all. But his Religion is a mess, he's not getting anything out of it, he shouldn't be making half as many CS friends as he does and for the love of god, at the very least, he shouldn't have a tech advantage by this point.
Did I mention half his Capital's territory is on Tundra? -,-
