. so these are all gifts . for others right ? <| sep |> Any of you pros have tips for playing at deity ? I see tons of people already bragging ' oh I can fuck up deity huge maps like no problem this game is easy . ' By turn 25 I have completed 1 civic , 3 technologies , 3 units , and a monument . I am working on producing a settler . My neighbor , Russia , who ' s capital is 6 tiles away has built farms , produced at least 4 military units , produced a second city , and produced at least a lavra faith district . As well as completed early empire closing their borders . That ' s when I quit . There is no way I can compete at that rate . They are at least 20 turns ahead of me and it ' s only been 25 turns . If I play at king though I never face a challenge . I usually play by tech advantage , that is definitely not possible at this rate . The only thing I could see is exploiting shitty ai military to get a dom victory which is just not enjoyable .
