Currently on my first Deity playthrough and already losing interest... score at nearly double the next highest AI.
It seems the tried-and-true Domination playstyle is still incredibly powerful, and to this domination player it looks like all the other victory types are just gimped Domination victories that stop half-way.
I can't play Civ games without war, unfortunately. It's too boring otherwise and relies too much on luck.
The diplomacy system also appears to be completely irrelevant for me: since every game I get denounced for playing properly and triggering AI agendas that are along the lines of "you got more stuff than me how DARE you"
So yea, I'm not seeing much replay potential here. This is practically on the same level as BE in terms of playability. At least CiV deity posed a challenge (in the heavy-handed manner of giving the AI ridiculous bonuses), but here I am having the highest score when I've only eliminated one rival when the same thing would never be possible in CiV
