1. This post is primarily intended to help less experienced players how to win on the deity
level. I ordinarily play CIV 5 at king/emperor. I played this scenario at the king level (all 4
Civs) about 10-15 times before coming up with this plan. I've won on deity with everyone
but William. I haven't played this since July as I was looking to get other achievements.
Again, I repeat that this post is intended for newer players so a lot of the things I explain
may be elementary to the more skilled player. I chose Norway because this was my first
deity win since civ3. ok.. I believe the first few turns are critical. so with that in mind....
Set Up phase
Tunsburg to work specialist in workshop. this is only city that will have a specialist. the GE
that will appear is essential to this plan. Build CB, worker
Trondheim build order.. triremes, worker, worker. this 2nd worker will go to Lincoln to
build road from shoreline to existing road system.
Bergen.. triremes
All other starting cities.. worker, lighthouse harbor, if necessary, then set to wealth.
Note: all land unit combat promotions should be instant heal (70 turns and game is over)
triremes promotions should be land unit promotions only
The starting triremes (as of turn 0) goes south/southeast for a couple of turns then east.
The triremes that are built head south for about 9-12 turns the goal of the triremes is to catch
reinforcements in the water to destroy/damage these units before they reach England.
in this scenario, reinforcements appear every 10 turns. its paramount to cripple/ destroy
these units as much as possible. these triremes will be kept busy throughout the game.
Eventually, you may decide to sent a few to find and destroy William’s reinforcements.
The fighting units in starting cities start toward York. it'll take 8-10 turns to get there.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 0 - deploy units as follows: set up to attack York with 4 BERS and 3 pikes. the BERS
do all the attacking and take York on turn 1. the pikes set up to protect York from the
attack that will come from the north or west from Northumberland, Scotland or barbs.
move 3 cats, 1 CB, and 1 pike towards Lincoln. set citizen management in all cities to
maximize production. the initial goal is to obtain and work the iron resources in York, Lincoln,
Nottingham and Stamford. this will enable the building of 10-15 triremes and a few more BERS.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 1- take York... then set up to take Lincoln with the cats 1 BERS, 1 CB, 1 pike
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 2- Lincoln falls. (if it doesn't, you may have to reload and play with the units until
it does) might not have to purchase iron tile. build walls, then doomsday shire court
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 3 When York comes out of resistance, immediately buy the iron tiles and then buy worker.
Send the worker you bought to work the iron resources in York. Set York to build walls and shire court.
Eventually this will become troop factory for this continent.
Send full strength BERS in direction of Nottingham while avoiding Nottingham city attacks. Set
up units so that when you start attack.. They get to one or two tiles away from Nottingham at the
same time. By this time English reinforcements are enroute to Stamford and/or Nottingham .
Longbowmen will soon appear also. you have to watch out for your cats especially.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 4- send cats and CB in direction of Stamford - they will set up to attack with 1 pike
( when healed near Lincoln). Send new triremes in search of Denmark,
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 5- 1st triremes comes into contact with Danish units set Bergen to wealth
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 6- move all 5 BERS to one/two tiles of Nottingham.. will attack next turn. 3 cats, pike and CB ready
to setup for attack on Stamford on turn 8. by this time, Englasn has allied with several CS's and
Longbows(lb) will soon be attacking triremes offshore Denmark coast
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 7- Nottingham falls with 4 BERS attacks. 5th BERS goes to one tile of Stamford to
assist in attack. Nottingham builds walls then shire court. Trondheim starts armory
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 8- Tunsburg starts wealth. CB to Lincoln.. Stamford falls next turn
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 9- I lost one cat..now have 9 iron.. Stamford falls.. send all 5 BERS to attack Stafford. Taking
Stafford and Chester prevents England from having those two shire courts plus, the sooner
I take them , the sooner I will be able to build and add them to my total. Send a York pike north to
Northumbria to pillage the road between York and harridans road...
Send 2 York CB's west to clear the fog of war.. may have to swing them
south to assist in the Chester attack
Trondheim.. continue armory then three triremes
Bergin.. continue wealth
Tunsburg.. change wealth to armory, forge, then 3 BERS
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 10- begin Stafford attack because of cats vulnerability.. garrison one in Stamford and the other in
Nottingham for now GG appears in random city.. send to Lincoln taking care to avoid the coastal
squares because of archer units and /or triremes... I’m not sure if the other Civs build triremes or not
or if enemy triremes can enter the ocean or not. I’ve never met any though.
send Trondheim worker to Lincoln to build road from shore to existing road system
CB and pike arrive at York shore... send pike to Lincoln and garrison CB
Spotted Danish units in water near Ribe.. start of a game-long battle to kill/damage these units. Attack
melee units first
OK, from here on I’ll try to avoid all the minutia of troop movement. it’s somewhat random on the AI's part
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 11- Stafford falls... walls then shire court... England now has 4/6 shire courts... Denmark should take
cities in east and William in the south... Trondheim will produce armory next turn, then start pumping out
triremes every 2 turns
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 12- send worker to Lincoln to work iron, then to Nottingham
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 13- the battle for Chester will be hotly contested
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 14- set frisk, Iona, thrush and storm citizen management to default. Set Bergen to worker
Tunsburg 8 turns away from GE. the plan is for the GE to rush build the doomsday book
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 15- Stafford is now garrisoning the CAT that was in Nottingham
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 18- pillage road tiles from powry to Stafford
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 19- GPT now 12
Turn 20- pillaging of road tiles complete... captured powry worker... send captured worker to Stafford
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 21- worker arrives at Lincoln shore to build road send birsay worker to Lincoln
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 22- send CB from Trondheim to thrush... Chester should fall next turn
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 23- chest falls... GE appears.. send to Lincoln.. England now has 3/6 shire courts.. build walls/shire court
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 24-CATnow garrisoned in chest... sending BERS to Stafford to heal and prepare for Warrick attack..
Bought mountain tile for captured worker to mine
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 25- found Ipswich.. now Danish territory
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 26- send chest pike to pillage road to Gwynedd. purchase forest tile between Lincoln and Nottingham.
GG appears in frisk... send to Lincoln by water along with frisk and Iona workers
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 27 GPT now 34
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 28- tuns has completed armory and forge.. build 3 BERs. found Dover.. now Williams territory
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 30- purchase BERS in Tunsburg England counterattack chest set up to attack Warrick next turn with 4 BERS
2 CB's and 2 GG's.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 31- set Trondheim citizen management to default, build 3 BERS
GE arrives at Lincoln
found William’s territory... 2 triremes will harass
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 32- start Warrick attack.. should fall next turn
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 33- Warrick falls.. next is Northampton.. walls/shire court
I must say I’m really surprised by Denmark keeping his troops on land. he must have dozens.
I have 13 triremes but, only half are in position. he could burst thru easily. England shire count is 2/6 GPT is 60
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 35- begin Nottingham attack... same crew
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 36- Nottingham falls.. walls/shire court purchase 2 production tiles for Chester
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 37- main attack force healing. London should be next target
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 39- GPT-78. set Chester city management to max production
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 40- England counterattack against Nottingham and main force. have 526 gold and GPT-89
York armory in 3 turns... will buy 2 cats and build CB's until/unless iron becomes available
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 41- England counterattack and Danish attack make healing necessary. I’ll have to wait for the BERS and
cats to push the London attack CAT that was garrisoned in Stamford enroute to be garrisoned in Warrick
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 42- sent BERS to pillage road between Nottingham and Thetford (Danish territory)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 44- both cats purchased... England now has one shire and in 3 turns I’ll have my six
my thought is this should a win. I need to take London and move my GE in order to rush build the doomsday book.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 45- changed almost all cities to no specialists, gold focus and no locked tiled York is going to be pumping out CB's
every 4 turns, a couple of cities need walls and Chester has one locked tile so that the shire court can be completed in 2 turns
my goal is to take London NLT Turn 60. there is a period of resistance(8-10 turns). I need enough time for
London to end the resistance and still have time to build the doomsday book.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 46- the GG and the 2 workers arrive at Lincoln. one BERS does too. there are 5/6 more BERS
enroute to Lincoln.
GE moved to Stamford from Lincoln
Cat in Warrick moved to Nottingham
Cat in Chester moved to Warrick
I think I should build an extra shire court in Warrick just in case.
London attack starting
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 47- have 648 gold and plus 100 GPT purchase CB in chest
GE moves to Nottingham London - red damage
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 48- London falls - in resistance for 8 turns
now it’s just a matter of absorbing/defeating all attacks and getting GE to London
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Turn 56- London out of resistance... doomsday book will take 41 turns to build. lucky we got the GE. rush
build will take one turn so I win next turn
Thoughts about game: pillaging enemy roads leading to cities important.
building lots of triremes essential(try playing w/o doing so).
Won game with a ranking of Louis XVI(15TH) and a score 834. guess I could of played better.. but, hey a deity win is a deity win!
