First Deity win today. Babylon, small map, continents, science victory at turn 320.
While I am elated at the achievement, I have some concerns.
I feel as if the victory was, well, maybe not lucky, but let's say fortuitous.
I spawned on a continent with Morocco. Never engaged in a war (save for a four turn war when I captured a Moroccan settler very early on). And just RA'ed and bulbed my way to victory. I was fortuitous in that none of the major civs declared war on me. For most of the game, I could have been crushed like an egg. Because I only had four cities, I didn't have enough iron, coal or oil to build a substantial military. I'm used to getting domination wins on emperor and immortal, so to stand by and watch frigates float by my galleas, and watch musketmen appear near my swordsmen, was a bit unnerving.
Is this how everyone else plays diety SV games?
For my next trick I think I'll try and play arabia and try to conquer with camel archers. thoughts?
