Deity Win. Attached is my article on making the jump in difficulty to Deity. These forums have been great; and I thought I'd add my two cents.
Here are my main points:
1.A good start position is required.
2.Trade wisely, getting communication with all civilizations as soon as possible.
3.Suck it up and swallow your pride (and most of your dignity too) and allow trespassing.
4.You will be out researched by ages.
5.Certain Civ traits really lose effectiveness on Deity.
6.Forget Wonder building early on.
7.You will be expanded by every civilization early on.
8.Early attacks are extremely risky.
9.Use one of the most glaring AI weaknesses, worker efficiency, to your advantage.
I give my advice and examples with each.
Enjoy and discuss.
