People that say "deity is super easy" or "I recomend deity for beginers"...
Stop trolling.
And if you are not trolling I honestly don't know what is wrong with you.
There is a very specific type of player, minmaxer, or optimizer, that aproaches the game as an optimization formula, trying to improve strategy and moves to perfection. My cousing, another fan of the game since Civilization I, Is one of them.
I play with him online, and honestly he destroys me.
He rerrolls bad starts, but he does not use exploits. He plays in deity often and his strategy is the kind of trategy that requires very speciphic conditions: Such as "by turn 20 you need to have accomplished this, if you dont, you already lost".
I dont like playing like this, and sometimes I think my cousin has an obsession and is not really enjoying a game. He even says you cannot have "fun" at deity, it is a totally different experience that is very frustrating and unforgiving.
Credit where credit is due, though. It takes patience, passion, and years of practise to learn to play like this by yourself.
He wins less than 1/3 of deity games he plays. And Im sure there are better players out there, but Im not aware of a simple player in the world that wins on deity more than half the games without exploits.
Only 5% of players have ever won at deity. And most of them have used exploits or guides to get the achievement.
In other words, you have to be insane to recommend deity to new players. What is wrong with you people?
