Quest for Glory - Deity Challenge #8

[ForkOfSpite]

Nice result - a few questions:

* What was the timing for the war? (i.e., chariots? comp bows? crossbows?)
* When did you take the tradition policies? (Planned or just extra waiting for when Rationalism 6 and Order 6 were appropriate?)
* When were Patronage and Commerce opened?

I start war with comp bows.

tradition opener is picked after having a culture ruin at the beginning of the game.
Aristocracy and patronage opener are good filler policies before rationalism, the order of filler policies and Libery right branch depends on the situation of the game.
The exact order in this game should be Traditional opener - Liberty to Collective Rule - Citizenship - Patronage opener - Meritocracy - Representation - Aristocracy.
Commerce opener is not a good filler policy but I don't have good policy to pick at that time (piety opener is useless in this game because we have enough faith).

Man, I just came from Qfg11 in full wonder-spamming mood, and I thought I would try this one as well, but I lost all the wonders. ToA, HG, Colossus and Mausoleum all went, and Elizabeth was working on Petra too. I made it to turn 62 which is of course not super early, but you need a little luck with Deity wonders, and I was not having any.

The secondary target is to beat my mediocre t233 win.

Thanks for a great map. I also got a ~t230 win; you beat me by a couple of turns.

The game was peaceful. I was tempted to make a frigate assault but eventually just used the navy as a deterrent towards Rome, who grew pretty powerful and grumpy, as they often do. I wonder if frigate conquest of a decent foreign capital would have made a difference.

I don't feel that I did anything wrong but now I'll peruse the other spoilers and see what could have gone better.
