New difficulty - between Immortal and Deity

[vanjito]

I'm kinda lacking the difficulty level between Immortal and Deity, Immortal is nice but the only interesting challenge is beating up first civ, after that it's kinda auto-win...

...and Deity is just... pain, of course doable, but I'm not enjoying it
(maybe I don't play that well?)

Or is it just the non-tactical AI?

(Domination victories only)

Maybe let the AI with less gifts in the beginning with same AI(Edit: deity) bonuses?

I concur with this. Deity is so hard it's not really fun for me, but if I play immortal without any restrictions it's too easy. My current game I'm trying for "no conquering no RAs no scientists". It's pretty fun.

I'm thinking we need also need a difficulty level between Emperor and Immortal.

That can be edited in xml, right?

Start surrounded by multiple Civs, and its out of question you only beat the first Civ. Only one neighbor drastically makes this game easier.
