My First Deity Game

[Aceman101]

We unable to trade a map yet..

i think they are pretty happy... i need money for supporting the army

Ah yes, you havn't discovered map making yet. You get more than 70 gold per turn. That would support a large army. But when the golden age ends, you wont get as much gold.

Both map trading and contact trading was moved to a later, middle age, tech in C3C. For balancing issues.

Silly me, thinking I could understand how C3C works.

It's extremely difficult to keep up with a deity AI in tech at the start of the game. Deity AI's need fewer beakers to research a tech than you do, and they start with 2 settlers, and pop out more faster.

It's pretty disorienting to be so far behind - it gets worse. Maybe you build up 20 or 30 gold, to create an embassy - it's likely to get demanded from a nearby AI.

Of course, the AI gets out of despotism faster than you do, which just makes it worse.

That said.... you can overcome that. Find out what techs the AI won't generally research first and get those - writing, literature, math, currency - and use those in trade. Buy techs like horseback riding after everyone else has researched them and the cost is lower. Trade for techs that a couple of AI don't have, so you can use it for techs they have that you don't.

Keep growing, as fast as you can.

Pointy stick research - war on the nearest neighbor, take a few towns and beat up a bunch of their units and make peace for techs. Do the same for the next AI over.

Another strategy is to be scientific and not have other scientific civs. Your free tech will help you and the cheaper libraries will help a lot.

im just wondering, how do you know about the AI's advantages or disadvantages on any difficulty level? same with MAS

This thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=170282 is a FAQ that summarizes much of the information that you can find in the war academy, civilopedia and elsewhere. Included in it is a detail of the AI advantages per level (and disadvantages, for warlord/chieftain)

Hi Drakan, thanks. I have read urs article and found some useful "builder" trick. I'll use it for the next phase. I play Huge Map, Arch, Mass Regicide is off, 15 AI Victory : Conquest and culture, it has different setting from ur article. some trick could be useful but I think I couldnt win as a Builder in this game.

While wonders are fun, try to avoid building them in deity games.

Thats it, Aceman. Building Wonder is a heroin in deity games. Btw, I already had it one, in Athens , for a free.. Great Light House
