Hy all!
I think every civ strategians ultimate challenge is to win on deity on large map.
For practice I tried deity tiny& small with aztecs& persians conquest. The game was quite manageable (~11000-9000pt)so I skipped standard& large and start immediatelly the huge.
But it wasn't so easy then I thought...
Good guides like Did; civsrating; how to win: a short guide; Revised strategy for Emperor and Deity levels which is mostly a militaristic solution is writed for tiny to standard game. You should modify it.
Great problem is the huge distance between the civs. My ancient army (Jaguar warriors) isn't able to reach a civ in time.(no road)
Another problem is being turned out to a continent with only 1 or 2 civs. (I can solve this choosing pangaea).
Another one if we don't get iron or horses that wasn't unsolveable on tiny or small maps but it is on huge map.
I think we should mix the militaristic solution with some building . Let them just build the roads as logistic. But I think i can forget the aztecs& persians (too early or slow).
So I thought to write here for help. With which civ and how do you win on deity large?
(1)Maybe I can choose celtic(PTW) or iroquis with a later conquest.
(2)Or even later chinese or japanese
(3)Or something much more different and focusing to the economy like egyipt(rel, ind) with less war.
Which one? Which way?
Thanx for any help or thoughts!
