I just can't seem to get passed Modern era if I'm lucky enough to make it there. I played as China and was doing very well. Gold was 2k Happiness was about 3-9 depending if I traded off my luxuries. I just don't understand as soon as I declared war and took a city almost all the civilizations declared war on me. When I got my Chu ko nu I took over One city that was owned by Brazil then 4 Civs declared war on me even though they were not allied with Brazil. Brazil is Southwest of me, Shaka Northeast, Byzantium Southeast and Japan was West of me. I decided not to take Rio because Shoshone declared war on me as well and they were West of Brazil so I eventually made peace with everyone and I noticed that Shaka was started to spam cities like literally every where, in the worst and most annoying places and right next to my cities. I knew that I had to take out Shaka or at least slow him down because he was about to go into a snowball affect and just own everyone. I tried to get Atilla and Japan to declare war on Shaka but they didn't want to and were afraid so I went to war with Shaka by myself and was doing quite well until Byzantium and Japan declared war on me and I couldn't fight 3 battles at once so I made peace with Shaka and fought off the other two. But by the time I was ready to fight Shaka again it was too late he had already built cities surrounding my cities and he was in modern age and had bombers so my Artillery was useless at that point, I was just easy pickings for Shaka. All the cities I took from Shaka I had to sell to England because she was my only Ally and she paid me like 200 gold per turn for some crappy cities but she would not go to war with me and to make it worst Shoshone declared war on me again and that was Game Over for me. I also dropped 1k on a city state with a lot of units but they got owned by Shaka and he came at me full force with all his units.
Basically I'm confused why no Civs would go to war with me but would declare war on me when I didn't do anything to offend them. I understand who ever was allied with Brazil was mad that I went to war against them but like the Shoshone was at war with Brazil. Just confused why the AIs wouldn't want to help me stop a Civ that is just owning everyone. For no reason Atilla, Assyria and Poland also declared war on me and they were not even close to my cities... The last time I let a Civ spam cities and own everyone I eventually was his next target and didn't stand a chance. Earlier in the game Shaka was at war with all the Civs that declared war on me later in the game that made me lose.
