Enemy starvation
I played this game til it came out of my ears back in 1991. I loved it except for one thing - the enemy tends to neglect their own cities in terms of buying grain, so by the tenth year, the enemy cities start to starve. After a while, the game gets too easy, as the enemy armies weaken, lose morale, and the enemy cities start joining my realm, one after another. I have to end up buying grain for the enemy so they don't starve and get weak, so they can remain as some kind of challenge. The first five years or so are the best, because the fighting is fierce, and it is a good challenge while the enemy troops are not starving.
