Deity Challenge #13 - The Dutch

[The Pilgrim]

oh, its one sided requirement? that seems lame, lol. thx, i thought both need it...

Nope. The little spoils of playing deity. Enjoy them as long as you can. There aren't many.

ps. why crawl when you can fly?

Good food trap.

OMG Deity is hard!

I tried a Dutch deity game just before on the small continents map where all gets a large island for themselves + some other islands for later settling. Started out on a fairly nice island with an okay amount of resources and alot of marshes for the polder UI.
When i founded my second city, the americans move an settler to my island this forced me to declare war, otherwise they would claim and settle my island(they seem to have a habit of doing that). By the time I was half way trough the ancient times most other had reach the medieval age. All wonders had been built 2 or 3 techs before I even researched them. And there was several enhanced religions.
The US bombarded me with Triremes each time i sunk 1, 2 others appears. I finally gave up.

OMG Deity is hard!

That pretty much sums it up

But a sweet ride once you get it figured out, not I have quite yet, maybe if I can beat this one which no one complained of being too easy so far, I will be able to say that

I thought this was interesting.

Spoiler :

Manage to snipe La Venta from Mongols before they took it. (I just happened to have a spearman in range.)

I didn't end up doing too well.

Welp.

Spoiler :

Rome won via science at Turn 265

Lizzy had like 5 times Augustus's army, but Lizzy got nuked and couldn't stop him from turtling and getting all the shiny spaceship parts. Sigh.

This time, I managed to keep the Mongols at bay and took over Pacal. By the time I got that done, however, I was still on crossbows and both Rammy and Genghis were on rifles... so I sat and turtle... and well, it didn't go too well =\

The map is definitely beatable. All I needed was to make half a dozen nukes and cripple Augustus while Lizzy and Isabella clean up. I am not sure if I really want to backtrack 40-50 turns just to do that though.
