This was the first diety game I have completed. It was a spaceship loss to the Vikings shortly after 1990ad.
I went for the slingshot and didn't get it. Due to the high tech prices and my lack of experience I was behind the rest of the game. I fought a few early wars with the Zulu over the Ivory off our starting island's Southeast coast, but was not able to hold the town I founded there. In the middle ages I fell further behind in tech. The Vikings became a world power, and for the first time I learned what a runaway AI was. They absorbed the Babs, germans, English and Egyptians for the most part. I helped dispatch both the Babs and English.
By the end of the game I was slowly conquering the Zulu but the Vikings were way too far ahead of me for me to attempt a coup. They looked close to a cultural win, had the UN (I helped ruin their rep so they never held a vote), could have won by Dom, and could have easily conquered the rest of us. They had several hundred modern armor at the end of the game, I wasn't even building tanks yet.
I did learn how to assault an island, but it took a few attempts.
Overall it was a nice learning experience, and I'm quite happy I was able to fight winning wars against diety level ai. Staying level with them and taking out a runaway will be my next hurdles

The slingshot is not possible in PtW: no free tech for Philosophy... That feature was introduced in C3C.
