Olympians need a buff/change

I'm definitely playing it wrong, but i feel like playing to optimize olympians feel soo frustrating with the ai constantly being unreasonable and unwilling to be friendly (they forward settle me and become hostile that my cities are too close to theirs djjdskdn)

I love love loooved the concept of olympians and the game mechanics that i tried suuper hard to make it work but BEST case scenario i was only able to get 2 diplomats out at a time before one of them declare wars on me.
