I have defeated the computer handily on Emperor, but I am having a hell of a time on Deity. It seems the jump from Emperor to Deity is ridiculously huge. The AI is insane on Deity. I am hopelessly last in every category on a consistent basis. Does anyone have any tips on winning on Deity?
 
ERmmmm - so far ive come with only one way to beat the computer on deity - go in to the editor and give your special unit 500 attack, 400 defense 200 movement points, multiple and make it never become obsolete and make yourself get it at the start of the game, and make its cost 1 shield

That might do it, though really I wouldn't bet on your chances
 
In my experience you're going to be behind until about halfway way through the third age, don't worry about the score. What I worry about early on is building a good military and grabbing some land and resources. At deity, early in the game, you will never keep up with the AI in the tech race, so don't even try. You can get tech's by buying or as part of a peace settlement. Latter in the game, there research rate seems to slow down somewhat, so you seem to be playing on a more even playing field.
