One thing that rules about this game is that it's the most stable game I've played out of the box. No bugs, no serious balance issues. Really nice.
I have yet to play a non-combat diplomatic game, but I've exercised most of the other options. About the only ones I don't care for are "Sudden Death" and "Deathmatch". Sudden Death takes you out of the action after losing a single city (as opposed to the default -- losing your capital without being able to retake it in a few minutes. Deathmatch starts you with effectively unlimited resources, so it takes the building & resource management out of the equation.
