Playing the others just seems kind of boring.

Is it more interesting to do culture/diplomacy/science on higher difficulty? It may just be the bad AI making it too easy.

I like diplomatic but that usually just ends up with me killing most people anyway

cultural is impossible/takes forever without going to war if you have any strong tourism competition

Culture is pretty boring until people start attacking

The longest victory I had was diplomatic since the whole world seemed to hate me for razing a couple cities.

Had to have all the city state votes +2 extra from almost winning to win out. But only one civ ever attacked me since I just built a huge army nobody wanted to deal with.

I think at Prince difficulty the "build a huge army and nobody will try to touch you + you can easily race ahead in culture/science/economy if you focus on one" strategy is just too easy. I'll probably crank up the difficulty next game and see how it is.

It's the most fun when it works out. It can be quite difficult to pull off though

Yeah, I think it's just Prince difficulty being training wheels.

Domination was also an easy win for me. Just spammed units until I took the first continent (4 civs I think), then put all my investment into science until I built up enough for an invasion on the next continent.

On Prince, the AI will never preemptively declare war if you're gathering a huge force outside their borders. I'll just say I'm moving my units then move in 4 or 5 siege units in a couple turns. The AI could have turned a lot of situations on me in they just took the initiative instead of letting me start the war on my terms.

Use that science investment to get bombers + aircraft carriers and bam, easy win.

I got so much uncontested development on my first continent that I was getting science and money like crazy from it.
