Well,I would like to know if you could help me to make my game funner...so how could I expand without becoming a superpower and making other superpowers?

dont expand for 30-40 turns and let the AI factions turn into beasts and also dont blitz the AI factions

Use Force Diplomacy to stop other factions dying.

Become immensely rich and bribe cities and armies so that no faction ever dies and to even stuff out.

Or build barriers of Free Cities around all of the factions. I'd like to see someone try that....

Try to kill of every faction with peasants! First on easy, and if you can do that, then it is time to overspawn the peasants! Good thing about is that you can destroy every other building

i usually give other factions money and i dont expand right away, i usually wait 10-15 turns

I'm trying to expand historically as Rome.. Which means a LOT of waiting between wars and such.

like some said,
be patient, build up your economy, let the AI build up its strength, then try to expand historically according to the faction you play (or not).
force diplomacy, when used right is very useful.

Ha Ha, taking over the world with peasants, that's a good idea...

tIPS ON EXPANDING? I find making one full army and then sending it into the middle of nowhere, on the other side of the campaign map is quite enjoyable, just attacking armies, not settlements, I then see how long it lasts... Quite fun I think but maybe not you.

Play as Iberia and invade the British islands, thats what I did, pretty fun.
Block of the Iberian peninsula with forts and try to maintain you little Empire.
