Welcome to the twentieth installment in the Community Deity Game series!
CDG 20 - Maria asks, “Can you hear me Nau?”
We aim to post an interesting challenge twice each month. We try for a variety of starts and difficulties. There is a suggested Victory Condition and a list of Achievements for each map, so each game has a theme or gimmick to it.
The idea with map is to see if you can get something from a Unique Improvement widely regarded as useless. Since the extra happiness from Feitorias is probably most helpful when warmongering, the suggested VC is Domination.
Please see the CDG Series Discussion Thread to express yourself if you have remarks and ideas. Some maps use mods. Please note that maps you wish to share must have the DLC map packs disabled, so those who do not have them can enjoy the challenge. To do this, you go into the DLC option from the Main Menu and untick the options for ‘Explorers Map Pack’, ‘Scrambled Nations’, and ‘Scrambled Continents’. You will need to do this every time you start a new game that you might want to share.
When posting about your victory, please begin the post with the turn number, victory condition, and achievement points in bold text, e.g. “T247 DiploVC, 10 points”. This is so the kind volunteer who updates the finishers spreadsheet can see it more easily.
Also please provide a screenshot of your victory turn, and maybe more related to the achievements and keys point in the game — because it’s fun to read for all of us! Restart and reload as you like, but in your write-up (which does not have to be long) please describe the challenges you faced.
We welcome all comments and questions, but please use the SPOILER tag if you attach a picture, make a comment about which civs are in the game, about natural wonders, locations of ancient ruins, terrain features, luxes, resources, etc. In short, if it’s information you can only know by playing the game, don’t spoil it for others by divulging this information in the open. Thank you for your co-operation, and have fun!
Quick combat is on but quick movement is off (change them if you like).
Game Version - 1.0.3.279
Downloadable Content includes: Wonders of the Ancient World DLC. Gods and Kings expansion, Brave New World Expansion. The map packs are intentionally excluded.
Before you download the map, please take a moment to speculate here in this thread on your initials thoughts plans for the game. Will you settle in place? What are your plans for getting the most from the UA and the UU? Will you bother with the UI?

Spoiler UA, UU, and UU :
In this game, you will be playing as Maria I of the Portugal. You possess Mare Clausum: Resource diversity grants twice as much gold Gold for Portugal in Trade Routes.
You can train the Nau, which replaces the Caravel but has an extra movement point. Each Nau can perform a one-time ability next to foreign lands to earn gold Gold and XP. If you have not used the the trade mission before upgrading, it is retained. The extra movement ability is lost upon upgrading.
Once you research Navigation, you can build Feitorias, only in a City-State's lands, on a coastal tile without a resource. It provides one copy of each Luxury Resource type that the City-State has connected, regardless of your status with that City-State, but that copy cannot be traded. It also provides the same +50% defense bonus as a Fort.
