Have you lost? If so, how?

[WiseGreen]

I haven't lost, but I did have to do some serious save scumming to keep a city. Teddy (who's supposed to want peace on the continent!) declared war on me in the ancient era, had a decent army of about 3 catapults, a couple of swordsman and a few warriors, and he did all the right things: brought his melee units up to the city, bombarded with his catapults, pulled back injured units and replaced them with fresh ones.

That's scary O_O

As Victoria, playing King, I actually lost London in the Ancient Era to Gorgo a few turns before I'd have walls built on it. I ended up recovering it, but having to rebuild an army twice and losing 10-20 turns of production in my capital put me on the back foot relative to everyone else on the continent, and Gorgo's walled cities were behind a wall of woods, so I was looking towards 10+ turns of war to even get one city. I ended up abandoning that game.

I rage quit one game due to an insane barb rush.

What i dont understand is why everyone complain about the game being so easy.
lots of players seems to lose games the same way i lost in civ 5 (not focusing enough on military) and that is on low difficulties.

I lost a game myself turn 48, started 8 tiles away from another AI capital on flat lands, 6 Warriors declaration of war when i had time to build 1 scout and 1 slinger...(immortal difficulty)

So yes i found king super easy, emperor pretty easy even starting in the middle of the map surounded by AI, having 0 ally because i did wipe the first ***** declaring me...

So i'd like to hear how a deity game can be "easy" when dealing with early wars is pretty hard, and you cant really war yourself cause warmonger penalty is stupidly unbalanced.

Gilgamesh, donkey kong rush. He was even listed as very friendly or allied or something, I let him have open borders or something and there were a lot of donkey karts in my borders. Then suddenly DOW and he captured it. Prince difficulty. Was my first game. I was expecting borders to work like civ 5, they didn't.

1. Gilgamesh warcart rush on Emperor, killed me good.

2. My first time on Immortal, I just didn't play very well--not enough campuses, not enough holy sites, no production to speak of. Ended up several eras behind everyone else. I gave up when it was clear one of the other civs was going to get science victory soon.

I quit my first game on Prince because it was too easy. Then I jumped to Emperor and got rolled by Tomyris.

 

[Sbordj]

Started as America / Prince ... Found Harald really close by and thought naively that I'd be able to play peacefully/explore/enjoy discovering the new features as it was "only" prince.
Got warrior rushed (about 10 of them) quite quick while only having a couple of archers close to capital.

Lost the capital (didn't lose game as I had another city) then decided it was time to go to bed
