Isabella - pious or fanatical, according to ones fancy desired a political community that obeyed one king, one faith, one law. [...] In 1493 the Papacy granted the the Castilian Crown full control over Church appointments and a monopoly of evangilaztion in the New World. (S.E. Finer, The History of Government)
On that note, Id like to propose a religiously flavoured terra incognita Deity Challenge playing as Spain.
Playable Civ: Isabella - Spain
Number of AI Opponents: 11
Number of City-States: 24
Map type: Frontier Pangea
Map Size: Large
Difficulty Level: Deity
Game pace: Epic
Ruins are off/Barbs are on
Cultural Victory is disabled, rest enabled
Special: Spain starts isolated on an island just large enough for a single city and separated from the rest of the world by ocean; you will need Astronomy before you can explore the new world and start converting it; on the upside, the islands hosts three Natural Wonders

Depending on your comfort level and challenge appetite, there are three ways you can approach this:
1) Easy Mode just have fun smashinig the AI on deity
2) Medium the actual challenge: satisfy the following victory conditions before any of the normal VCs have been met
3) Hard - similar VCs but a few more restrictions: in addition to the above you should also satisfy the following:

- VC1 Science: You are researching Future Tech
- VC2 Diplomacy: You have enough delegates to be able to win a diplomatic victory
- VC3 Tourism: You are Influential with every Civ on the map (note: cultural victory is disabled)
- VC4 Culture: You have completed all 9 non-ideology Social Policy Trees
- VC5 World Wonders: you hold every possible World Wonder
- VC6 Religion: all cities must follow your religion (except Holy Cities)
- VC7 Liberation: each initial Civ and City-State must be alive
- Restriction no buying or producing of settlers (you may only use conquistadores for settling)
3) Hard - similar VCs but a few more restrictions: in addition to the above you should also satisfy the following:
- VC3+ Tourism: You are Dominant with every Civ on the map
- VC4+ Culture: fill all 9 SP trees + 14 Ideology Tenets = 68 Social Policies
- VC6+ Religion: every city follows your Religion, including Holy Cities
- VC8 Population: Capital has population of 100+
- Restriction 2 no city capturing unless the city has a World Wonder; as for other cities, if they do not follow your religion, then they must either be razed or liberated; if a city follows your relgion, then you cannot raze it and may only attack to liberate it (since you can't capture it unless it has a WW). You wouldnt want to hurt the people following your credo. Only a World Wonder could possibly justify that
.. i have been paying thru the nose for continuous ILTKDs in the capital (28gpt!)
