I've been experimenting with building the Pyramids in Deity games. Under Monarch and Emperor, the Pyramids come pretty naturally without resorting to extreme behavior.
But under Deity, building the Pyramids is fraught with difficulty. Even if I play an industrious civ and only build two Warriors before I switch to the Pyramids, it's not a sure thing. If I take the time to build a Settler first, the chance goes way done.
Then, even when I do build the Pyramids, I find myself hemmed in most of the time able to squeak out only about 6-12 cities without going to war.
So...what do you do? Conquer a city with the Pyramids? Build it right off? Something else? Not bother with it?
