First 93 turns. Will post more if this gets attention. https://imgur.com/a/DORVQ

I think you really nailed it on the last part. Play the first 80~ turns over and over and take a few minutes to remember what went wrong. Generally though my strategy at deity, scout/slinger, worker, slinger, settler, worker (for this second worker, time your craftsmanship policy change to 30%...

Yea I mean I'm too lazy to look at your math. More districts outweigh almost all other issues though - optimal population for a city is almost certainly 4, 7 or 10 depending on terrain.

Great library is great and I agree that it does give a very nice advantage. Problem is on higher levels you need to focus much more on military and the AI gets it a ******ed turn, 27 - 30 is correct for deity, turn 38 - 45 on immortal (i think?). Thus, I havnt once tried to get it on a deity...

A large part of the game is about balancing out hammers and beakers optimally. It sounds like you let your hammers get way ahead of your beakers. And I mean WAY ahead. Geez, Ive never even come close to a situation where I literally have nothing to build. But I play Deity and the games are...

One strategy I really like for fortresses is building two of them in front of whatever city youre trying to defend from enemies - forming a triangle if you will. Obviously if its a hill or a river tile its not worth a fortress. But up until fertilizer I rarely use any non hill tiles that arnt...

A few different things happening on higher difficulties: AI will expand rapidly and everywhere. AI will have much larger armies (on deity you will almost never have an army stronger than others, at least early to mid game). AI techs faster. AI will have more gold (largely an advantage to...

Ive always considered France to be kind of an overrated civ. Or at the very least, its far better on lower levels than higher. On higher levels, I rarely go more than a 2 city NC... more than 2 cities prior to turn 60 is just asking to be invaded and overrun early on (on deity at least.)...

Yeaa, you probably shouldnt have cbs sitting on the border. Also, you were Rome. Where were the legions? I play Rome all the time, legions crush anything in that era, its kinda a joke.

There are certain civs that really need to be taken out on deity or youre likely going to lose out on a science victory... for instance, india and mayan should not be allowed to live. Ive actually run into problems where Ive let these civs live to long for the RA's and even though my...

Ill nearly always build a scout first. That being said, sometimes if youre thinking liberty tree is the right way to go, and based on your start location you know by the time you get a scout out there is only a small possibility he'll find any ruins, I might consider going monument first...

Not sure what everyone is talking about... but on deity the tech rate is such that the CS will usually have fully upgraded units and lots of them. Its not uncommon for me to have strategically placed CS's that are capable of holding off a ten city empire by themselves. They will commonly...

Hah, as a player that beats diety pretty easily... when I play emperor it feels like the AI isnt even playing at all. The difference between emperor and immortal is pretty huge... the difference between immortal and deity is even greater. Thus, for a lot of players emperor seems like a joke...

This post made me think itd be pretty awesome if there was a Hun ability to move the capital to whatever city they saw fit at any time, new city would then become named "Atillas Court" and the previous city would get a different name. Just a thought!

Really depends on the game, but I pretty frequently skip even a pantheon altogether. In nearly every game Ill eventually have some faith generation though, if from captured cities or religion cs'. Remember, you can still purchase great scientists and great engineers even if you didnt found...
