You win all the time? i never do.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

Usually "Noble," sometimes the next one up. I also enjoy the mods and the scenarios.

There's an OBAMA level??????
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Last one I had was Civ 2. I thought about getting the latest one, but I knew my wife would get mad for me playing all the time!

Have you tried finding some online folks to pit yourself against? I mean, the whole point of deity level is to just keep punching you in the balls. My favorite trick was to set up a "secondary civilization" out on Australia, while allowing the others civs to interact with my few mainland cities. At the least, I get a wonderful degree of knowledge that they're coming for me.
I also admit to diplomatting the hell out of my enemies, and keeping solid fortifications and military units up. This usually comes down to picking one civ that I latched myself to, usually one not directly bordering my own empire, and keep my diplomacy as high as possible with them, so that I can set up multi-empire pincer attacks to keep them from being able to focus solely on me. I will usually produce military units for a time, then switch focus to research to speed up my advance to next the next big weapons improvement

They really need to put R. Lee Ermey in as your military adviser... it would be a beautiful thing.
I still say Civ is the greatest computer game series ever.

Beating Civ 5 in Deity isn't that hard. Brave New World is a whole different matter. Adding that faith resource made the game a whole dimension more difficult.Necro post!

If you have no iron in your area, the best strategy is to build as much science as you can on a path to Engineering, build the Great Wall, then get on a path to Education, which includes Civil Service enabling you to temporarily build Pikemen. After that, get on a path to gunpowder to finally protect your civilization. Once you have Musketmen, gift your Pikemen so you don't pay maintenance on them to an allied City-State that is providing you good resources so that a rival civilization doesn't conquer them and have you lose those resources. Once you have Chemistry, build canons and take a city with lots of wonders and one that has iron so you can begin building your maritime technologies and build Frigates.
