There is nothing civil about Civilization V's Deity difficulty

  • You really think Japan would do that? Just slide into my DMs and tell lies?
    I have won the occasional game of Civilization V on Prince difficulty so how much harder can Deity be, really? On a Huge map with 11 other AI players, can I build a society that will stand the test of time? Almost certainly not but if there's one thing French people are famous for it's losing with panache.

      I love when that happens, I like to roleplay it out and imagine its elite mercenaries or specialist auxiliaries that have decided to join my superior empire and I take the time to name them when they get promotions. Especially when it's a unique unit that complements the unique unit of the civ I'm playing like when I got gifted a Swedish Carolean while I was Austria with a super Hussar unit and I had them always together with a general and some cannons and they conquer like half the continent.

    I remember my first multiplayer game of Civ 4 with friends, I was keeping to myself and doing science stuff, I noticed a unit at my border from one of my friends but thought nothing of it (without bothering to check the stack of units on 1 tile....), 2 turns later and he already had reinforcements on route to push on as soon as he declared war, and I had to broker defence pacts with my other friends to help me out, eventually it reached a point where my territory was a battleground for everyone else to fight on, I felt like France in WW2.
    However my progress of science meant that while I may not have had a big standing army, what I did have was tech that no one else had yet, and as my allies bought me time, I created an army and brought gunpowder to the table while my oppressor was still using swords, it eventually coalesced into me being too strong for him to stop and asking for a cease fire, but feeling far too slighted by his prior aggression I refused all calls for peace as I razed his country to the ground, I didn't even take his cities for my own I was too angry at him, and to me he needed to be wiped off the face of the earth, lest he recoup his forces and attack again in the future.
    I learned 2 lessons that day: always keep a standing army even if it's only small, and that if I get pushed too far I WILL resort to genocide

    Basically, prince is the difficulty level at which human and AI are completely equal. For each difficulty below prince, the human has equivalent advantages to those the AI has on each difficulty above prince. Therefore, deity difficulty has you playing with the same disadvantages the AI has on the easiest difficulty.
