Tips for Diety on Quick speed

[greenfieldpark]

A buddy and I play multiplayer together. We only play quick speed. For two reasons.

1st obv its quicker.

2nd we run into bugs and slow downs as the game progresses so we really cant play long games.

We have kind of surpassed immortal difficulty and are ready for diety.

However ive noticed a heck of a difficulty increase. Any tips from the pros?

We play small oval and hemisphere maps.

Also another question. We currently think authority is no good. We find we lag behind too much in culture and sciemce and even with many unit kills and terra cotta it doesnt add up to enough.

Are we doing authority wrong or is it because of our game speed authority is nerfed?

Thanks guys.

Authority, is indeed nerfed on quick speed, because game speed not only affects the amount of yields you can get (instant yields scale with game speed), but also the frequency of them. Current instant yield scaling feels like it's more designed for things like buildings in mind.

Any quick speed players who still think authority is viable?
