So after I lost Peaceful Americans I recovered for a while. And pondered on what I could do differently to win this variant. The prevalent opinion is that winning this variant depends predominantly on luck. IMHO, I do not think so. If the AI is not threatened and not provoked and kept happy always (a tall order no doubt) this can be won. In fact this variant has less luck factor than a typical game since there are no leaders (a big luck factor) and no combats (another RNG factor). So I decided to give this another try. My last attempt for sure.
Map Large, Continents.
Barbarians - sedentary
Difficulty level - Deity (yes, Deity. According to the analysis of the earlier game we have to lag the AI, which is more difficult on Emperor than Deity. In Deity I can be rest assured that the AI will surge ahead. Who knows, this may be a variant where winning on Deity is easier than Emperor.)
Civs - Random.
Here goes. Any wagers on me? ..... I didn't think so.
