Another Deity game. Easy or not?

@RedKi-rr: Tried again from turn 100, managed to get steel around 1300AD... Just before this I DOWed on Korea as Vikings+Maya also DOWed and I thought I could grab a few cities easily. Two turns after that Spain DOWed on me, I could grab one Korean city then Korea got vassalized by the Vikings... So I gave up again no so much because of Spain than because of the Vikings (they have two vassals now).

Oh well, I'm wondering how you are doing on this map yourself

As I understand usually it is good to get Lib around 700-800 AD picking nationalism or military tradition. So, the cuirs attack can follow at ~1000 AD. Usually it allows to capitulate 1-2 AIs who has longbows and maces.

I didn't play any of games yet. But I doubt that I would do much better than you In fact, now I know pretty much theory about Civ4 but almost never can realize it at practice Anyway, I want to continue that game, at least my position looks fine for me.

Sometimes, it is better to settle right on a strategic resource with connection to the capital. The capital should start a unit the strategic resource enables right away and whip it the following turn. That unit can then be used to defend the city settled on the strategic resource.
