I am getting Owned

[Dolla_Dolla]

England declared war on me, and then they asked for help from a bunch of other civilizations, and some of the other civilizations asked for help from other civilizations. They all want peace treaties and large sums of money. Its like an 8 on 1. I was getting sick of this so I allied with like 4 of the civs, and then a couple turns later they declared war on me again. There goes all my money. Any tips on what i should do?

TY

When you sign an AI into alliance do not pay lump sum nor Tech but GPTand/or Luxury, Ressources instead. That way if they change their alliance later they will loose your payment/luxury/ressources.

Trading luxuries to your closest AIs will help to keep them friends.

build more military so they get scared and hesitate to declare war on you light-heartedly.

You need 300 marines and 140 Tow infantry units to scare the hell outta them, trust me on that one!

Make sure that they loose reputation by declaring war on you: useless ROPs (Right of passage w blocked entrance to/on your territory). Look for your "friends" early on, keep him polite (or even gracious). Trade luxuries or make gpt deals - they will hesitate if they loose to much on a war. Be extremely careful with the MPPs! MAs are ok. The AI understand numbers very well - increase your military (as HamaticBabylon says).

Next time watch your rep more carefully. Now it is time to protect your empire. Place your stronger defenses in your outer cities as they might get invaded by land or sea, it will take longer for the other nations to reach your inner cities. Try to switch from Normalcy to Wartime if you have the tech, and aim at your closer weaker foe. Conquest it. You might want to contact them after taking a few cities and offer peace, or just wipe them out (better). Try to hold as much as possible, if you manage to survive try to contact other civs and offer peace, gpt + lux for MA against the others, by all means try to get them to fight each other.

At this point your rep should be spoiled enough, so forget the peaceful empire, build your army and kick the other's butts.

I don't think reputation matters a damn bit to the AI where other AI players are concerned.

Rememeber one very important thing Dolla, if you have an MPP with Civ "A" and Civ "B" also has a MPP with them then the first one that fires a shot on the other will have war declared on them.

Always build a large military and keep it upgraded. I am in a game where I have been at war with 18 civs for at least 30 turns now in the industrial era. Build arty and make them pay for crossing your borders. Right now, most of them are cautious towards me even though we are at war. Within no time you'll be on the offencive (or should be), then they will offer you cash or techs to get you to make peace.
