Yesterday I managed to win my first Deity game, via Science on Archipelago, with Babylon, on standard size, speed and settings.
Prior to this game, I did some research and found that games on Deity usually end on turn 260~270(depending the settings I reckon).
Therefore when I was close to reaching victory around turn 230 or so, I was feeling pretty safe.
THEN SUDDENLY, Korea started completing all these ship parts. Needlessly to say I was like 'WTF???' I was over 20% above the average science value.
I somehow managed to avoid war by not opening borders to close civs after certain point, but Korea was even involved in some wars, and still managed to almost win.
I spawned on a pretty small island with not much land nearby so I could only settle 2 additional cities for a total of 3, but I thought I was doing well because I kept these string of RAs going pretty much the entire game.
I managed to barely win on turn 242; Korea was 1 Booster away from completing the Spacesihp.
Is this how it's supposed to be after certain patch? or was it because it was on Archipelago?
Technically second game on Deity...tried the same thing on Pangea before and got my ass kicked when 3 close civs declared war on me. Played 1 game on King(Science after pretty much killing everyone lol), and 1 game on Immortal(Domination), so I don't even have a general idea of how things should be on peaceful games at the current state of the game.
I read it's possible to win a science victory around turn 210(before a past patch though, not sure if it's possible to win even faster or nerfed things.), so is it plausible that AI can win even faster than turn 240 or so?
