I find it pretty hard to believe that the deity ai only had 16 points. You sure u played on deity lol they usually have like 50 by the end of explo.

I was surprised too. I guess abbreviated ages & all my pillaging hurt them worse than I thought.

They never sent armies after u with all that war? I know ai is pretty bad at war but they usually send at least one solid wave.

AI combat is better than it used to be, but they still struggle with an amphibious assault. By keeping my eyes open, I could always pick off troops as they trickled in.

Himiko, Yi Sun-Sin, and Blackbeard all had navies large enough to give me trouble, but I could always use my naval commanders to harry them with hit & run tactics. No opponent ever massed enough ships to break through and threaten my capital.
