The easiest way to defeat the AI is to use sacred units. The AI have no way to adapt. This could be fun to try a couple of times. It will also only work for certain nations.

I do find that some comments here are wrong.

The AI will stop attacking you if he looses interest and you are not attacking him. This has happened many time for me. I guess I play more defensively then other here. If you have a strong border the AI fails his attacks he might stop attacking. You will also get a new message about him declaring war if he is going to attack again.

I find pd to make or break a war. Always read in the manual on how strong your pd is. Nations with really strong pd like LA Then Chi is very easy to play against the computer since it will just send wave after wave to die. If the pd is fair I have no problem to buy it up to 35 or higher if I know there is going to be a battle.

When I play the AI I usually expand quickly and will then have war at 4-6 fronts. Then I start predicting his moves and crush his armies with as few looses as possible. Here tactical skills are important, learn your opponents units and device a ingenious battle plan. Fort are also very useful since the AI will never leave a siege. So once his army is stucked at a fort You may surround it and eliminate it.
