So I just need to wait until people tech up a bit? Most civs have 3+ cities and at least Obsidian soldiers. I've fought off some trained dogs but that's it.
Yeah, its easy as it takes time to make units.

I like war with Barbarians early in the Game and with other Civilizations when they get angry with me.

There's a warning in option's pop-up that AI fares poorly with this on.

i have 300 levitan artillery pounding it every turn but still it has like 200 defenders

Advice? Don't camp too close to cities you're attacking in later ages. The damage city defenses can do is quite overwhelming.

Might wish to take this up with Flabbert on the Discord server.
From my game with the latest SVN "Immortal" difficulty. It would appear Abraham LIncoln is waaay too trusting of me here. I'd already destroyed one civ in the prehistoric era in this game after they dumbly thought they could declare war on me, they were not ready for my Master Hunter who almost singlehandedly cut a swathe through all his units in the field and then i just sieged out the only Iroquis city. However leaving a city completely undefended and so distant from the rest of his land next to an extremely valuable resource has to be a new low in AI stupidity for me. I normally wait for an AI to declare war or I've filled all available land and I can't expand further, but there's no way I'm ignoring bait like this! Lincoln apparently has a military over 5 times mine but none of it was spared defending this city!

Have you Considered Recruiting a 5 star General from Virginia Named Robert who rides a horse named Traveler???
Recent AI fixes have made the game more interesting. At least the bot now knows how to create a better stack of doom (earlier it mostly consisted of dogs and guards). Late Renaissance-era armies now mostly use real guns (a lot of them, actually). And they are really big - last time I saw an army like that in ROM. And I didn't expect a horde like this to come to my nearly undefended city. That is really great, finally the big wars are here! But there is the other side: the AI doesn't know what to do with all this stuff. Stack of doom ("Immortal" difficulty, "Size matter" off, 70+ musketmen, 12+ swordsmen, pack of trebuchets and so on) came to my city, bombed fort near it (didn't even tried to occupy it - maybe, my single rifleman was too skary), looked at city (defence 45%, 1 rifleman, 2 sheriffs) and moved away from it.
Barbarians are acting the same - their huge stacks of top-tech units mostly just stare at enemies and fortify near cities. I am not a pro, but, maybe barbarians must act like, em, orkz? "Waagh" and "Kill em all"?
