post here if you've beaten deity

[TCO]

This is totally rediculous that Firaxis tries to tell us you can't beat Deity.

Please post here after you beat deity and give us your settings (#civs, barbarian setting, world setting) and the type of victory (bloodlust, cultural, spaceship, OCC, etc.)

*Phew* I just saw "replies - 1" and started shaking.

Looks like I am still in the race!

At least for another 2 minutes till The Post hits!

I just finished at chieftain. Does that count? Didn't break any records getting there, either. Took into the 20th century for a spaceship victory.

I expect the "newbie/cheiftan crowd" to have a hard time. Guts like Ming, Paul, X-pack should have no problem...or at least that's what we were all prediciting.

No it doesn't count! :P

Your post (replies - 3) scared me, now go away!

I figured you'd be grapevining that AI, you wrestling rocket scientist, you!

I'm not sure where this came from. I am 100% convinced that Deity is beatable, and I don't believe that "we" ever said different. However, I do think that Deity in Civ3 is more difficult than Deity in Civ2, which was our goal in defining Diety.

I've been playing the game for 2 weeks now. I started off at Deity and won my first game, haven't had problems with the AI ever since. Really, that game is way too easy for my level of playing, I just don't know what problems you guys have...

... in my dreams that is

[EnderSword]

What do you mean by "win" at Deity?
I'm sure most people, well not most, but good people could atleast pull out a cheap Diplomatic victory or high score victory. I'll try it when i'm through with the one i'm playing

[Ecthy]

I'm talking about a military victory, of course... only conquering the world is a real victory...

i actually doubt this. Ive found it easiest to be militaristic so far, and have conquered 3 civs so far (out of 7) but now im planning to settle down and explore the other victories

[Ecthy]

oh well, getting a ship to AC is also a decent victory

as is a cultural victory and a victory by diplomatic superiority

you see, it's not easy to win a decent way

Just hope you guys know how much AI tush we've been kicking in Civ2.

1. One City Conquest (OCC) (routine, and done in the 1500s!)
2. Diety +5 wins (edit the text files to raise the difficulty 5 layers harder than diety.
3. OCC in despotism.
4. OCC with a size one city!
etc.
etc.

Tell Sid about it. Bet you he'll be impressed what the crazies here were doing.

Yeah, I figured you all would make sure that the game was playable at all levels. That's how civ2 was done.
