Deity is the level I play, so all that I say is true at least there. I use the patched version of the game.
As I have told to people how to play to win, they have told me to enjoy the game. I don't understand. I enjoy the game. To me, enjoying means: Try to win using every possible in-game method. So I try to win. If you are not interested to hear the perfect plan to master civ, there's no point reading further.
Think it like this: Anyone can drive a car in a summer's sunshine on a highway. But only true pro's can drive F1 or indy-car. And they drive it fast. I play civ's the same way. To beat them all.
This game has several bad flaws.
1. The ships are too slow compared to walking units. There's no point to use ships to move troops on the same continent. Historically, a failure.
2. There's no group move. Why has every individual unit to be moved individually? Why do I have to give GoTo orders to every unit? [Editor Note: v1.17f patch added stack movement]
