One thing I have noticed (and I noticed this in RTW as well) is that sometimes your production drops very low - almost to nothing - for a turn or two. I always suspected the AI made some rash decisions based on this production glitch.

They think you incapable of producing anything and go guns blazing, not realising you have about 20 cities able to pump out armies in a second.

I'm playing on VH/VH and I'm "supreme" and nearly always number 1 in all rankings and I have excellent relations with my allies, have never been back-stabbed and am getting a great playing experience from diplomacy.
