[VTRGR]

Deity on vanilla is so hard almost no one tried iirc.

Really?....Hmmm...i think this is a real challenge!...this is an invitation for everyone is interesting....come on , let's share our thoughts and ideas , perhaps...i will wait for a while and to see if there is some interesting , and then i will start writting my thoughts very soon. Thanks Dirk1302!

PS: Just someth to ask...is "vanilla" the original game with the newest patch 1.74.0 , and no modifications?

 

[shyuhe]

Yes vanilla is the original game with the newest patch. And as Dirk stated, it's so much harder than bts deity that it's ridiculous. You'll see liberalism completed before 500AD almost every game, sometimes in the BC years.

I've seen it won a few times, but it was harder for sure than it is now. Of course, the initial release of that game (before patches), made their deity about as easy as Monarch is now.

Especially if you used the praetorian + incessant anarchy strategy.

I may try it on warlords (~same as vanilla regarding deity difficulty). Sure they tech fast but i also remember from the immortal warlords time that the ais hardly build units on warlords, fighting at tech parity was just a winning option in that time.

The whole blocking scheme is typically a bts thing, On warlords if someone bothered you you just removed him/her. There was much more emphasis on vertical growth compared to horizontal growth and the whole idea of whipping loads units running some specs to tech the basics (called SE then) was very popular. Of course this can work on BTS sometimes too but you'll have to invest far more hammers making peaceful early expansion much more attractive.

Vanilla and warlords still give you cavalry without needing rifling right? That's a pretty big loophole to exploit lol.

 

[Dirk1302]

Not so easy on deity though where Apollo program can be built 1250 AD.

As i have understood from the comments since now , there are expansion packs like WARLORDS and BTS , which i dont own and dont know at all... so , i would like to stay just only in CIV IV (VANILLA ORIGINAL GAME)..and perhaps later we may talk about the expansions packs.
In fact i think i will ask from admin to close this thread , as i am thinking to open a new thread with the title " CIV IV - Vanilla Game- Deity Level 1.74.0 patch version" and i invite you all to participate there . Thanks all friends for their comments

 

[Dirk1302]

It's clear your thread is about vanilla. As i said vanilla and warlords are rather similar. Almost everyone here plays BTS nowadays, some never played vanilla, for others it's long ago so i doubt you'll get more comments than you got now as deity was very seldom tried on vanilla. What i said about warlords is generally also true for vanilla, not for BTS which is a different ballgame altogether.

Actually, come to think of it... Duel-Deity was rather easy in Vannilla. I remember all the (I beat deity with Que rush!!!) posts.

 

[Dirk1302]

Yes you're right i remember but i consider that an exploit.

And then we got the never ending "OMGGGGGGGG Que's are so overpowering!!!"
