Deity increment apology !!!!!!

[JFL_Dragon]

I make no apology for my comments on the deity level,
but I apologise to Firax for saying it not harder than emporer.
(I've edited my Deity Level is a poor effort thread)


Its my very poor playing style that is different and it
is for this reason I find deity easier.

I give preference to core development ahead of expansion.
(because Im not good at expanding)
In emporer I get a bigger core but it takes longer to
develop it before I attack, by this time the emp level
has good infrastructure.

In Deity my core is smaller, it develops more quickly,
and deity level has little infrastucture when my
core development is complete, resulting in an easier
game than emporer.

So yes, my playing style sucks.

You have to manage all three. Development, expandion and military building. I can't expand good either, although I seem to be pretty good in rushing, so I can take a good land grab and get more land that way.

I did that with the Zulu after I got my immortals. It didn't come a moment sooner when I decided to attack, too. Soon after I captured their capital, Egypt declared ar on me. So I made peace with Zulu and moved my 30 something immortals (My army was still quite strong. few losses in the war against Zulu) back south to help with the war against Egypt. Because I had no standing army. They were either occupying Zulu cities or garrisoned to protect cities.
