Here's a short story how I managed to win the Deity level via diplomacy, I hope this helps you too to finally get a good night sleep This was my first standard map size game on Deity difficulty and I won it - I'm a little bit disappointed that the game isn't harder. But I can sleep again! Okay, let's go:

GAMEPLAY
1. Founded Persepolis 3950 BC. I had a goal of at least conquering my island and just try to survive as long as possible - to see how hard deity level is and how fast they would develop/spread/kill. Made two warriors, another worker and barracks. Developed Iron working and started making Immortals. I founded no other cities during the entire game.
