The other reason you are feeling deadlocked is that you probably don't have quality and quantity of offensive threats. My suspicion is you are like i was when placing cities thinking 'Place cities at these locations and maximize resources, delicious cosmite om nom nom.' Then 50 turns later you are deadlocked putting out fires. Eventually it gets back to city placement, and scouts allow you to place cities properly. City placement creates awkwardness (but also can resolve it). You can load previous saves at 40, 30, and 20, and look at your map and think about how these threats manifested.

Those are threats that have been realized. Load up an autosave at turn 50 or 60 and look at where you have been putting out fires.

Locating your opponents threats on you is pretty easy.

Your map is awkward and you haven't made the map awkward for opponents. How is my map awkward, and how can I make the map awkward for my opponents? When you say you are in a deadlock putting out fires, i suspect that means the quality and quantity of the opponents threats on you is vastly superior to the quality and quantity of your threats on opponents. Roughly translated, it is threats, aims, targets, and options to threaten later. There is a wonderful term in Go called Nerai. Nerai, Awkardness, Defensive Threats, City Placement The simple advice is probably just to build more scouts before turn 12 and be careful about putting a city on the stretch cosmite tile.
