Arrrr, finally another Deity game. I skipped Cotm6 althogether to make sure I had time to play this one. Gotm36 took me way too long, and after a year off the net, I guess I didn't know what to expect out of viruses and spyware. My computer is totally 'jacked- it's like being darned to heck, could be worse, but very annoying.
I wanted to share a technique that I've only ever had to break out for Deity games, before RCP was a twinkle in anyone's eye... the Worm. Its a stack of defensive units covering fast units moving through enemy territory pillaging everything in sight. It works best with infantry and cavalry, or an army and cavalry, but isn't limited to that. The AI can build units way too fast, but if their cities become isolated, trades cut off, resources gone, basically a swath of destruction 3-4 tiles wide headed straight for their capitol and then burning their core like its Atlanta- well, even if you must declare peace with them, they're Way slowed down. Probably already obvious, but I love it!
Also, Deity games are the only gotms in which I've launched nukes. I recall nuking the crud out of Japan. Sure, I got nuked back, but it was worth it, it totally took the fight out of 'em.
I gotta go predator.
Good luck, have fun everyone.
