Hello everyone,
I've just completed a regent level game where I was specifically aiming for a diplomatic victory, and I lost. I was by far the world leader in tech, power, and score, and I only fought one major war with the Russians, who wouldn't leave me alone (I was the French). I even bribed everyone else to enter the war so they would all hate the Russians too. After the war, however, I couldn't get anyone to like me, even after bribing all of them with thousands and thousands of gold and many techs. After building the UN, I lost in a landslide to Persia, a mediocre civilzation.
I would like to know what are the best stratigies for achieving this type of victory? My assumption was that I was so far ahead of everyone in tech that they were resentful. Any ideas?
A general explanation of how to achieve such a victory would be great too.
Thank you!
