Hoping to start a thread about Deity Level Techniques Discussion:
IMHO, way I play:
1. Great library is a MUST. Actually I have to pre-build the darn thing. I started to build palace first thing in the second city, it has to be near the river with goooooood terrain around it.
2. required techs for Great Library (alphabet-writtings-literacy) are brought using my hard earned gold.
3. I never researched any techs until I have conquered enough land. which is actually in industrial age.
4. I started war with my riders or knights, you will get Chivery for free from great library.
5. every war I fought, I almost if not totally annihilated the enemy civilization, this will prevent culture revolts. But before I conquer their last city, I always make peace and get their techs first. Sometime I cant get all the techs in peace talk, I have to AGAIN buy the rest of them.
6. when my territory is 4 times larger than the biggest AI civ territory, I would say it is time to do my own tech research, now I am a little, just a little faster than AI.
7. when I get to this step, wining is for sure, just a matter of if I want to kill them soft.
I would really want to know other Deity addictive players strategies.
