I think this is the biggest problem I currently have in domination games on deity. For example lets look at the last game. I was China and I had Greece and Japan near me. I found a natural wonder after a couple of turns and I thought I'll rush a Stonehenge for the Crusader and/or Defender of the Faith. I managed to pull it off just in time when I was dowed by Greece. I had to go for the Defender of the Faith and it worked well, my Archers were destroying the greek army inside my cultural borders and after that I quickly started to take down their cities with Archers and Swordmen. He never asked for a peace so I had to conquer his whole nation and at this point it was about turn 80ish. One of the problem was that I had only one iron and one horses near me so I needed to build an Encampment to produce my units. Now at some point Japan was sending his Apostles towards me so I needed to build this Holy Site with a Shrine and a Temple to get Inquisitors and was also racing for the Crusader belief so I could have the +10 strength against him at some point.
One of the problem was that Greece had build only Holy Sites and Theater Squares so I couldn't steal any Commercial Hubs or Campuses from him. At about turn 90 I was ready to take on Japan with the full force of my army, only to notice he already had Knights and Crossbowmen while I only had Archers, Horsemen and Swordmen. This was alright due to the vastly experienced army I had with loads of upgrades and I took his first city with ease. But when I started moving towards his next city, with a couple of Knights at this time he already had Cavalry, Field Cannons and Musketmen. His cities were now near strength 80 while my army was only near the 60 strength mark.
So the question is, how do you cope with this in your domination games?
