I recently moved from Immortal to Deity and I'm doing OK on Standard maps. But when playing Immortal, I occasionally liked to play on Large or Huge maps. Is that even viable on Deity? Or is the "runaway civ" phenomenon too much of a problem?
I decided to try it out, and thanks to my God-tier civ (Poland) I'm actually holding my own, although I'm not sure if I'll be able to fend off the Zulu empire to my South. But playing as Poland, I was able to go both Tradition & Liberty. When playing a normal empire, does Liberty usually outperform Tradition, or can a tall 4 city empire do OK when facing the larger AI empires of a Large map?
