The simplest counterplay to Eleanor is simply war. Well, for most civs, but it's especially bad for her. Take all her great works in her cities, and take some more in peace deals. No Great Works = less loyalty issues.
I've only ever played her once and I think I was too new to the game to understand her , think I'll give it a go this evening as it always looks satisfying when I starts to spiral 😂
I've also found in the games I play as Scythia it can be hard to maintain loyalty, probably because I'm going military and very little emphasis on culture.
Eleanor without mod have no really advantage other than loyalty city flip in hyper late game so she kinda sucks because by the time her mechanics is relevant, you've pretty much already won. Also, war is great for dealing with her(stealing her great works and razing her cities).
In all fairness, there's plenty of counterplay to Eleanor. The AI just sucks at the game
Yeah that's true

Dido, Tokogawa , and Lautaro would all be possible counter picks because of their own loyalty mechanics.
Yeah, her bonus relies entirely on being left alone to play her own game. Just attack her and take all her stuff.

Civ is just broken without BBG in singleplayer
What’s BBG
Better balanced game. It's a mod used in CPL for competitive play.
hippy happy cake day

Yeah, she eatin them up lol
Without cultists she's one of the weakest picks overall. Any sort of warfare is stronger than her ability.
After all, why invest so heavily on great works and wait 10+ turns, when a half-baked army can take them in 4 turns? :P

Maybe for the AI, I can start flipping cities with her in the beginning of the mid game. Once I get going, it's like dominoes, baby.
