Hello everyone!
After the Deity+5 victory I decided to try One City Challenge (OCC) games. I started at King level and victory was achieved easily. After winning Emperor and Deity I decided to give a try at Deity+ levels.
Today I finished my Deity+1 game. Victory was achieved at 1941. The start of the game was more challenging as Colossus is a must-have Wonder so I had to take several restarts because I missed it.
My city site had 6 river squares, Silk, Buffalo, Fish and several Grassland and Plains squares. The city was not a coastal city so I did not have the possibility of building ships. I transformed the Buffalo to Coal as soon as I got Engineers.
Wonders I built were Colossus, Copernicus Observatory, Shakespeare's Theatre, Isaac Newton's College and Darwin's Voyage. I think that United Nations is also a very useful Wonder to maintain peaceful relations, but this game I did not build it as I chose to build lots of Food Freight instead.
Early game I traded techs with other nations enthusiastically but after the discovery of Automobile I decided that the technological advantage needed for late game had to begin. When I launched my spaceship the other nations had not begun building theirs yet. I blocked all my city squares with Freight units so that nobody could steal my technologies. Neigboring Persians declared war and destroyed a couple of Freight before a peace agreement was reached. As I did not have UN it cost me 3500 gold. At first it seemed that the Russians could build and send a faster ship in time but they did not discover Superconductor in time, I think.
It may be that it is impossible to win the highest D+ levels, but we'll see when the limit is reached as I try to climb up the ladder
