Difficulty --- Deity Scenario ---- Beta Centauri Civilization ---- American or any other civilization
Once the game has started:
Change your government to Monarchy to start. Defend with your 1st Modern Infantry. Barbarians will most likely attack you, which in time is good for you as it’ll upgrade your unit making them better defenders.
Go into the city screen and immediately press which will switch your city from producing science, (which you don’t need because you have all technologies), and you start producing gold. Next go customize your workers, putting some on food, some on tech, and some on gold. Then change what you are building and build a temple. Once you’ve built the Temple, build the Cathedral.
At this point you should get your first Great Person or be close to getting them. You should settle any Great Person, unless it’s a Great Builder. In which case you should use the Great person to complete a wonder for you. Magna Carta should be the first wonder you build.
Next you should build a Courthouse, then a Market, then a Bank.
Once you have 100 gold and you earn your settler, use that settler to build a new city. In this city you should go in the same order building a Temple, Cathedral, Courthouse, Market, then a Bank. You should also immediately change from science to gold. Also remember, if you can’t settle a Great Person in your capital, move the Great Person to your second city and settle them there.
At this point you should build 2 more modern infantry for each city, and combine them to make an army, you should build 1 Artillery unit that will help defend the city. Build a road between each city. Once other civilizations start bothering you, defend with the modern infantry but use your Artillery to fight the enemies Artillery.
Once you have those defensive units in place, you can start building wonders and buildings as you desire. What you really need to do, is build the Manhattan Project so that no other Civilization has nukes but you. Also, make sure before you really start to produce units that all buildings are built in both cities, don’t be afraid to use your gold to help build buildings either.
Once you’ve got all buildings built in both cities, start mass-producing Flying Fortress or, if you’re not playing the Americans, Bombers. Once you’ve got three combine those into wings. Once you’ve got 8 wings of bombers, use one city to build Modern Infantry, and once you’ve got 5 armies of those, stop producing bombers and modern infantry and instead build Tanks in one city and artillery in another. 3 armies of each of those and you are ready to rock and roll!!!!
Keep your artillery with your Modern Infantry, and keep your army nearby also. Take your bombers, you should have at least 10 wings, and just attack the nearest city. You may lose a few wings, that’s ok though, have your 2 cities go back to producing bombers. Your bombers should whittle away and finally destroy all opposition in the enemy city. Once the next round starts, use your bombers again, if your bombers are no longer able to attack then it’s time to use your tanks to take over the city.
Once you’ve taken over a city, the first thing you want to do is build a temple, buy it, then start building a Cathedral. Then next round you’ll buy the Cathedral and start building a Courthouse. Next round buy the Courthouse and what you build after that is up to you, though Markets and Banks are a good way to go. By doing this you are increasing your Culture and chances are you’ll start converting cities over with your culture. Also, don’t forget to build roads connecting every city that you’ve taken over.
Anyways, dock all Bomber Wings in your new city, including new ones your 1st 2 cites have built while fighting, along with all your tanks, Modern Infantry, and Artillery. Leave at least 1 army of Infantry in your new city before you start to attack a different city, though I always found it to be a good idea to leave 2.
Pretty much what you’ll be doing is rinsing and repeating. Have your bombers do almost if not all the city battle and then let your ground troupes take the city over. At any point you can stop for a few rounds to replenish your army and then start attacking again.
I’ve found that after taking over an enemy Palace they will normally want to make peace with you, though sometimes there is an exception. Also, if you know where an Enemy Capital City is, feel free to go straight for the capital.
Plus you shouldn’t have to use your nuke at all. But there you have it, it may take some time, but when I played this, I felt like I was playing on Chieftain difficulty, I completely dominated the whole game, I could have won either economic or the culture victory, and that does get annoying because they tell you at the beginning of EVERY turn that all you have to do is build <insert wonder here>.
I will say that this may not be the QUICKEST, but I have yet to lose a Deity game using the aforementioned strategy. It's all about culture and gold, and everything else follows.

But once you have those defensive units in place, you can start building wonders and buildings as you desire. Make sure that you build The Internet, as that wonder will help the most. But really what you’ll be doing is collecting the gold…building buildings and wonders just help the time go by. And once all the wonders are built, I would switch government from Monarchy to Democracy.
It should be noted that you will be challenged by other civilizations, but you should have no problem defending your cities…and while your waiting for your gold, you can always build more defensive units.
Once you’ve reached 20,000 gold, go into wonders and start building the World Bank, and you should easily be able to unlock your achievement. |

Choose the Lightning Scenario. Choose the Aztecs as your Civilization or the Greeks.
To achieve a technological win in the Lightning scenario, one only has to get into the modern age, (24 total techs researched). So there will be no space station launching going on. Aztecs will help you achieve this since they get +3 science per temple they have built. Or the Greeks will help you achieve this as they get more Great People.
You start off with 3 cities with an archer in each.
The best thing to do is to go into the city screen and customize the workers. You're gonna have 1 big city, 1 medium city and 1 small city. All cities should have at least 2 science production. This is how I like to have them set up. Small city = 2 science, 2 food, & 2 production. Medium city = 4 science, 2 food, & 2 production. Large city = 4 science, 2 food, & 4 production.
Now please note that those are really just estimates, but should be close to that. I’m also going to warn right now, that you can find out from the beginning if you have a good chance of winning or not. If your cities are around a lot of land and not a lot or water, quit right away because you're not going to win easily…if at all. If you are around a good bit of water then let me warn you when I say that a lot of this can and maybe will fall down to whether you get a certain great person or not.
Once you have built a library and a temple, customize your workers again. Maybe this time give some cities some more science, and for your largest city bump up the production just a bit while still managing to have science. Pick the quickest science you can research every time UNTIL you see democracy in the list, (if 2 techs take the same time, figure out which one helps towards getting Democracy and research that). Research Democracy then switch to Democracy as soon as you have it researched and then continue researching the shortest tech.
SOME EXTRA TIPS
- Once you reach 100 gold and receive a settler, settle him into your largest city that’s surrounded by water. Don’t bother making a new city, it’ll be a waste of time.
-
After building the library and temple, you HAVE TO BUILD the Courthouse. Doing this will allow you to become a high science producing city. Once you’ve got about 15-17 technologies researched, you should have a courthouse in every city, and all you have to do is put your production on science for each city.
-
Also, make sure that once you have enough gold, build roads connecting your cities, and use 1 city to build some defensive units Archers or Pikemen and then ship them to other cities. Your gonna be at war with other civs…you can’t stop that unless you manage to get a great person early in the game and you build the great wall, so your gonna have to build some defensive units. If you get lucky enough that they only focus on one city, then make sure that city has an army of Archers, and maybe a back up and you should be good.
-
DO NOT GIVE TECHNOLOGY AWAY FOR PEACE. I mean seriously? All your asking for is to lose.
TIPS ON HOW TO USE GREAT PEOPLE
When you get Great People, the best thing to do is to us them for their powers right away. If you get a Great Person, don’t settle them take their gifts!
There is only one exception, if you get a great scientist, settle him into your largest city that is surrounded by a lot of water.
If you should get a Great Person that would allow you to complete a wonder immediately, I would definitely recommend that you use that to get the Great Wall built, (meaning you’ll have peace while researching techs so you won’t have to worry about building defense units), or the Colossus of Rhodes, (which will up the amount of science being researched.)
If you get a Great Person that will give you gold, take that gold.
If you get a Great Person that will give +1 population to your cities, take the +1 population.
Know that this achievement is tough, but this scenario is quick. If you get half way and they suggest that you save, don’t even bother, if you lose just retry it again. This scenario is an easy way to get a difficult achievement, and luck of the draw when it comes to Great People is going to make you or break you. |
