Win on Deity?

[Alquest]

Hello,

As I can't play GOTM until .... very soon I hope..

I figured I would try a bts game.. which went horrible wrong..and again, and again..and again..

So I started worldbuilder to give me the start which would garantee my win ...but got defeated again! And again, and again.
So I am loking for some advice.. and as I have had some fun playing this you might have as well. Below the stats, but I have ''balanced'' the game a bit to compensate the ridiculous start..

Game settings:
Civilization: Dutch (Leader: Willem). Traits: Creative& Financial)
Rivals: ?
Difficulty: Deity
Map: Continents
Mapsize: Huge
Climate: Temperate
Water level: Medium
Starting Era: Ancient
Speed: Epic
Victory Conditions: Cultural Victory DISABLED

Cultural victory disabled as you start with 5 cities that would be too easy. Also considering to elimate the SS vistory, but, as I have not reached that yet..

(spoiler for the godlike players, might be required information for us mere humans)

Spoiler :

-You will NOT found Buddism
-Elisabeth is on the same island.. long walk though
-Around 0 AD the AI catches on

I'm stuck at Emperor so I am unable to advise, but over the course of a game there are thousands of decisions you have to make, so I don't think you could guanrantee a win just based on starting conditions alone.

What difficulty level do you normally play at?

Have you seen the starting condintion?

Ah, now I have. Nice starting location - LOL

But

Land mass is to small, so your core cities would all be coastal leaving your most important cities wide open to AI pillaging / blockade and naval invasions mid - late game. Your core cites would by then be reliant on the mega seafood resources, and playing it on a huge map means the AI civs will be to far away for you to to get at before mid - late game. Assuming say 8 - 12 AI civs then your navy would be outnumbered between 4:1 and 10:1 at that time, because with that many resources your power graph would be silly, so the AI will all come for you big time by mid - late game.

Dream start, but I bet 90% of players, including me could still manage to lose on Deity.

Nice mushroom though.

Winning on Diety require 99% luck + exploit and 1% skill.
