Multiplayer Game Hosting
For the multiplayer game hosting on Firaxis' site, perhaps they should have several 'doors' for players:
1. The Chieftan Level is for beginners
2. The Warlord Level is for mediums
3. The Prince Level
4. The King
5. The Emperor
6. The Deity Level is only accessable by invite.
On each level when you win you accumulate points based on how badly you "whupped the Babylonians @sh"
With those points averaged with your score:
1-1-1
Wins-Losses-Disconnects
You can have a rating like so: 1-3-4 75% (The 75% is the average you beat your opponent by)
Then Firaxis can assign ratings:
If someone has a win-percentage under 20% his rating is "Chieftan"
of 20% then his rank is "Warlord"
of 40% then his rank is "Prince"
of 60% then his rank is "King"
of 80% then his rank is "Emperor"
of 100% then his rank is "Deity"
of 70% and up and plays on Emperor Level with at least a 30% average on beating people; the player is 'invited' to the Deity level where all the high-rollers play.

Another option is to have five gaming type rooms:
1. Merchant (Wins by trade and nothing else)
2. Warlord (Wins by total eradication)
3. Diplomat (Wins by diplomacy [any option])
4. Spaceman (Wins by going to space)
5. Random
