Deity is absurdly easy. There's no challenge to be found in Civ 6.

It does need a lot of optimization.

Units cost different things (growth, civics, etc) and are built with the rate the city they are built at gains the respective resource (say a 100 growth settler will take 13 turns for growth +8 city)

A zillion years ago I proposed a "Gamist AI" checkbox to differentiate from the regular "Roleplay AI". Back then the series even had an "Aggressive AI" checkbox but it actively made the game easier because the AIs trashed their research while attempting to warmonger. That being said, Civ 6...

If I remember correctly literally the only two people who won a CIV:Warlords GotM were Rusten and I. That's two. Meanwhile Civ 6 first Deity GotM had dozens (50?) winning submissions a month or so after release, many of these players probably playing their first game ever the way I did and...

No iteration of Civ 6 represents a challenge to CIV Deity veterans. My initial assessment of Civ 6 Deity difficulty was about on par with CIV Monarch difficulty, and there was a long way from Monarch to Immortal, and then the Immortal-Deity jump was as big as all the levels between Noble and...

I had enough ways to deal with stacks. CIV:Warlords difficulty arose most from how fast the AI developed. They could upgrade to fully medieval army just past 1000 BC (imagine how that would look in Civ 6), hit fast victory dates, etc

I didn't know anything about the leaders, I identified a powerful leader the way I identified other powerful strategies in this very first game. That's what good players do. Even so this walkthru is at small fraction of what I (or other CIV deity players) can bring to a strategy game we've...

If you want to know how Civ 6 Deity is seen by CIV Deity veterans, here's the recap I wrote for my very first Civ 6 game Here are some quotes from it: All in all, our immediate deity neighbors performed very poorly...I probably cannot do justice in words on how much more precision such early...

Confirmation bias. Somebody sees a thread title they agree with, they post. There are more objective (yet still not fully objective) ways to check difficulty, for example GotM Deity results. Civ 6 began as an extremely, extremely easy game with the first Deity GotM about a month after release...

Age of Wonders 3 Dominions 5 Sword of the Stars 1 (not 2!) Eador: Broken World vanilla Stellaris Looking forward to Planetfall.

A lot of people detest sliding down the levels due to patches. A better approach would be adding new difficulty levels the way "Sid" was added to Civ 3.

Is it, though? I thought they use the lakes to the west (at least on the European side).

Not at all. My initial assessment of Civ6 vanilla Deity was approximately as difficult as CIV:Monarch. The two expansions hardly made it more difficult.

Bruh, if you want to play a difficult game, uninstall Civ6 and install CIV:Warlords or at least CIV:BtS. Even on Deity victory in Civ6 is a done deal. It's about 'trick shots' now.
