So after reading these deity challenges, I thought I would apply the same strategy as was discussed there in my modest emperor games. The strategy is basically to snatch early workers/settlers of close enemies to prevent them from progressing and not having to spend much time on building workers yourself. However this is not working very well. First of all, science, within 50 turns (epic), the other civilizations have managed to scoop up around 4-8 sciences, I only have 4. Second, I attempted this against Germany, but there is absolutely no way I can build as fast as him, I had two worriers and a scout ready to kills the escorted settler, but that did not work out as he moved the settler around so that it is always protected by other warriors, which he moved up really fast. As I have to attack in forest and hills, i stand no chance in this battle.
Do I have to go Honor straight away (I went tradition) to stand a chance? Is there a specific build order? I built a shrine, which I think is quite important. Was that still wrong?
Any tips would be great!
