Just wondering if any of you merkins out there who have civ 3 played deity yet? How does the AI kick your arse? Do they send over waves and waves of armour and heavy bombers to pummel your spearmen equipped with shiittty sticks and harsh language? Do you get massive battles and Barbarossa style warfare with mass casualties?

Good question, if somewhat provocative.
I wonder where the people are who said they would break Deity within 24 hours?

I don't have the game yet so my clock is in a holding pattern.

LOL if people claim that they can break Deity in 24 hours they have their head so far up their own arse it's popping out their stomach. I'm playing on PRINCE (Regent) and I have my hands full, and I'm not exactly a bad player...Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Did really no one play on Deity yet?
Come on, the first who kills himself on Deity for the sake of AI evaluation will get a favourable mention by your Comrade.

i think to even have a chance on deity, we will have to wade through the 250 page manual if we are going to just jump right into it. who is going to do that? hehe"Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)

I've already read the important parts of it, and playing the game hands-on gives a much better tutorial anyway IMO...Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

My first game was at Diety and it didn't last too terribly long. I managed to establish a four cities before getting wiped out by a Barbarian invasion. I had about 5 Barbarian riders appear next to each one of my cities, and they went to town until I was totally wiped out. I guess difficulty determines barbarian activity as well as the barbarian setting at the start. Time to give it another go...Comment

Are you sure that the barbarian riders weren't you own citizens rebelling? Same thing happens in CTP2. Maybe that stuff happens on Deity.Destruction is a lot easier than construction.

Well, it's nice to know that the game isn't a "push over" on the Diety level!

Well, at least we have one player brave enough to challenge Deity. Be sure to tell us of your next game!

The Best Way To Break Diety is to use Kill Civ Option in the Cheat MenuComment

Hopefully there isn't a "cheat menu" in the game...but if I know programmers...

I'm a born victim! Second try at Diety goes as follows....
Trying as the Germans again, I found manage to found four cities, but I get behind pretty fast due to bad terrain placement. Fortunately, Berlin and Liepzig are well placed and they get pretty big fast. I manage to pump out enough shields on the Colossus to complete the Great Library pretty quickly when I develop Literature and switch over. With the G.L. built, I manage to snag a LOT of technologies and catch up very quickly in the science race. Catherine of the Russians then gets very angry with me and demands I hand over Hamburg. I refuse, and she declares war, sending a hefty army at my hapless city. Fortunately, my Elite Spearsmen make a dramatic stand and Catherine's attack is halted. So, rather than pound her head against a wall, she establishes an anti-German alliance with the French, English and Iroquois all within two turns. I get attacked from four directions, Berlin is put under siege and I am knocked out before 600 BC.
Time to tone it down for the next try.
