Other than t7-10's as Atilla on a Deity duel great plains map, I have very little in the way of Deity victories under my belt, and I most definitely don't have a solid strategy for playing Deity, or even a half baked one. At best I can say this DV was a fluke. Here's some files from my HoF...

Marathon small inland sea, 921 turns to DV. I played poorly, so poorly that I swear I was going to lose at any turn for at least 500+ turns, yet I somehow managed to pull a DV outta nowhere while running two wars, 3 eras behind in terms of war tech, and a poor economy compared to the AI's (I...

I've won deity games before, but they were all domination, and most were Atilla runs lol. I finally managed a DV against Diety AI, and I must say it was one of the most boring, and stressful, games I've ever played. I barely won by the skin of my teeth, having my game-long ally, Korea, back stab...

I usually pick pantheons and religious effects based on what my goal is, such as Messenger of the Gods if i'm trying for an SV, or Monument to the Gods if i'm trying for a CV or DV (CS's love wonders). If the terrain is a nice desert or tundra setup, then I'll default to the respective terrain...

Yea I read that one earlier when I was scouring for helpful articles prior to posting my plea for help, that's actually where I got the idea for trying as Egypt. My first attempt was Denmark, with lackluster results :sad: I was thinking about Byzantium, I've used their approach with 3...

That's exactly what I did lol, or at least tried to do. I came very close on a duel large islands map, didn't need to build ANY military units, but at my trajectory I was not going to overcome their culture fast enough, as the wonders I was passing up (Stonehenge, Artemis, Halicarnassus, etc)...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for an understanding of methods involved in achieving a very fast Culture Victory. HoF has a few BNW CVs at 0BC, and a few earlier than that, with the earliest one I could find achieving CV at 525BC. I figured it involved getting Parthenon ASAP, immediately...

I find it interesting that they only got 12,400 score for that entry, as I have two entries with similar settings for t7 victories, and got 24,100 for both. Interestingly one entry was Standard speed, the other Epic, and both have the same exact score, so clearly game speed wasn't calculated in...

IDK if this is something that's new to BNW or a recent patch, as I have been out of touch with Civ for several months, but I just lost units to a "neutral" citadel, which has never happened to me before. I don't have screenies, as I was so irritated that I rage-quit, but I'll describe it the...

Some great advice here! Pilgrim, I don't insist on domination, I try to go as peaceful as possible for as long as I can, just kinda hard to avoid war when the AI spams so many cities and units :crazyeye:

in my current diety quick attempt I quit bothering to "practice" on duel/tiny maps, and started a small continents standard size. got lucky with my own private continent. Im surprised ive lived so long in the game (100 turns) without having been DoW'd, actually made some AI friends through a...

In tiny/duel I can manage to take some caps with CB's, but I can't do a thing on quick. Yes I've done some pangaea immo, i hate pangaea lol. Idk why but quick speed seems impossible, standard/epic/marathon are doable for me.

:eek: I can't really survive past an AI invasion, usually t60-80 i guess. I spam units, but then fall on science. build infrastructure and lose units, try to balance it and aim for petra, miss every time. I must suck something fierce, yet I can handle the game just fine Emp/Immo, it's...

So I can manage diety on duel/tiny maps, marathon, but that's it. I can only win those by early DoW and rush for capitals. I try to emulate what I read in various guides for Diety, but I can't really get it to work out. I'm asking for hints, tips, and tricks, etc., for winning Diety games, of...

Only times my CS allies help me (other than being a meat shield) is on water-heavy maps. AI seems to neglect it's navy, but CS love to spam pirates. Any time i'd DoW with CS allies, they would send all their ships to harass the AI, quite effective actually. On land, forget it. They seem to be...
