I find that feature in AI very irritating. And yet they will happily accept peace from the infernals when offered.

This is wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start, so I 'll just answer in bits: Unit strength simply doesn't matter against AV summon hordes. It makes no difference whatsoever. When they fight, even at 100% chances there is still a chance that it takes damage. When it starts...

My assesment: Government Despotism Doesn't really do anything. Ok, for a starting civic, maybe change cost to none. City States Excelent if you are not interested in using order and building the all the buildings reducing maintanance. Pretty solid civic for expansion periods...
