Rev is better described as "taken it easy" civ compared to civ4. You have no corruption , no unit upkeep, no workers and no AI to worry about. Well it does have an AI but it's a little too easy to rush them even on Deity. I've even captured their captial (empty) without a fight on Deity.
P.S I have a few interesting Deity games though where I had some really bad luck at the beginning.
