Why worry about diplomacy ai naval assaults rarely happen.
I think the slow teching is down to poor resources and map settings. Huge increases tech costs. Marathan tripples research costs? I think the issue here is the land.
Conquered land will have colonial costs that cripple you. Okay with police property?
If you don't have land to whip you need other solutions to build armies. Weak vassals do you no good if your cities run out of steam production wise. Cuirs rushes for me involve continual whipping of most cities with maybe one strong production unit pump. On these settings that should be OP compared to whipping?
