I would like to start saying that I LOVE Civilization 5. This is not a complain, just asking for information from those with larger experience than me.
Ok, here is the thing: I never lost a game if I got to the Atomic Era. Last game I played Babylon (First time!)/Emperor/Standard/Small Continents with 1 extra Civ was pretty rad up until Modern Era, where I got the top place from Lizzy for the first time. After that, the game just became dull; I eclipsed every other Civ in Technology, had almost every City-State as an ally, had the most wonders/policies/happiness.
When it came to the Victory, I had all City-States as allies, Lizzy was gone, 2 Civs Guarded and every other 'Afraid', every Spaceship part built, 3 Capitals (mine included), 47 Delegations + Dido and Pachacuti's unconditional support (39 needed to win) and won by Culture. People are just too nice with each other, when pressing F4, every thing on the Global Politics details was GREEN! Nobody denouncing, no wars, just happiness and friendly talk every where you look! I had to bribe people into fighting, but just 10 turns later they make peace. ALWAYS.
I already had researched FIVE Future Techs, and most of them were still entering Atomic Era, with only Dido left behind in the Renaissance.
I'm wondering, do this still happen in higher difficulties? This was just my third game in Emperor and it just feels boringly easy. My first Emperor was awesome as I struggled to build the first Wonders I wanted and was even nearly wiped out by two neighboring civs, and went so-so up until the end. The second one was just boring, but I believe it was because three Civs were wiped at Medieval thanks to Shaka and Attila's unseemly alliance.
Just now I started a game with Babylon again, 15 Civs, Huge map, Small Continents (I loved this map setting!) on Emperor again. I don't want to play Deity because they start with too many Techs and I would never be able to build the Wonders I like.
TL;DR: The games becomes too easy/boring near the end. Not enough fights, not enough challenge as well. Any solution?
