I am pretty much a noob for Civ 5 and have never bothered standard deity before BNW,but ever since this new DLC things go way much easier than before imo,plus more fun!So far I have succeeded twice on deity as Poland and Spain(u are almost guaranteed to discover a natural wonder nearby which equals an early settler!)Anyway the only reason I could survive is that my neighbours are peaceful guys(Catherine and Sweden),also buffered by city state allies,I never even bothered building an impressive army,never bothered any wars,so eventually 1 turn before diplomatic victory things are like(This IS on deity):

Yes!My impressive army is~~~one warrior and two archers,that's it!And yes,122 out of 214 of my income is generated from trade routes from AIs!All the dark magic I use is provoking wars,Babylon has been warmongering all along and close to me as well,so I really have to keep him busy,Theresa is the best target,they've been in war for almost the entire game!I provoked unbelievably 10 wars throughout the game!Good points are,once they are at war they won't bother bribing CS that much and I am allied with every single CS I met!Not to mention that there are almost zero competition in building late game wonders !here are some of my cheap deals:
