As I initially said, I don't really care about the choice of language... I could name some other posters who can be a little difficult to decipher.
A while back, 1337 had suggested some interesting and valid strats, so when I saw this thread, what the heck??
And I was sort of having a bad hair day... so the boasting set me off like fireworks.
Since then, it's just been amusing...
And what the heck, a new challenge. I'm game.
(That said, I don;t imagine tiny pangaea as Romans can be all that hard, even on deity... naw, 1337, you still gotta try some of the others, like Alamo).

X-posted with you, Aeson.
I'm getting promotions, although I can't comment on the 2x win promotes in one turn issue. Actually, I have sort of the opposite problem, as most of my Legions are elite, and I can't get a GL.
It's sort of a fun little map (I'm still in the very early game, but I said that on purpose... /Howard Cosell voice/ Tiiny pangaaaea, viewers, is NOOT, I reepeat, NOT, Naational League Football /end voice).

Well, I've done it, I've won a conquest victory on deity, and boy it is definatly difficult to do so when there is more then one continent. On Pangea maps you can constantly bully you opponents to keep them weaker then you and to get technologies from them. This isnt the case on this map. The ocean between you and Persia means that you have to either keep the Egtptians and Greeks around and in a somewhat decent condition so you can bully them periodically for techs, or you have to try to conquer the continent your on and go the builder approach. I did the latter, and it was VERY difficult keeping even remotely close to the comp. Corruption was quite high, and to make it worse I didnt get a great leader from crushing the Egyptians and Greeks, and that meant I had to actually BUILD a FP. Technologically, it was quite difficult keeping up with Persia even though I had more cities. In terms of Military technology I was able to keep somewhat close to Persia, but when it came to the the non-military techs I lagged far behind. Persia managed to take almost every single middle age wonder, and all of the Industrial wonders. So many in fact, that I was worried that the Persian capital might score a cultural victory. That however, did not come to pass as I was able to destroy their civilization, though it did take quite some time (espically since I didnt have cavalry or tanks!). Victory came in 1822 and I scored quite well (as you can see) but not as well as I could have done. I think I might go to where I saved it right before I crushed their remaining city and simply hem them in, while I tech and get sanitation and then proceed to the modern era so I can get some wonders and see just how high I can get my score. Anyway, if anyone has any questions on how I managed to do this feel free to ask. I'm going to enclose the save before I crushed their last city in t he post after this one so you can watch the replay if you want to. Hope you all enjoy it, talk to you later!

Oh, I forgot to mention, I did get 2 Great Leaders, but they came much too late to do any good. I think The GL generation rate might be reduced on deity to make it even more difficult for the human player. Anyway here is the file I promised.

Well, I conquered the Egypts, allright. They declared war very early when I refused their request for iron, and then it took a few millennias ( or what is it called in pluralis) to hurt them enough to give me all their tech for peace. I only used legions in masses. Was the use of legions regarded as a cheat by the the cryptic rules posted by 1337? Then, just a few turns later, Alexander wanted a Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to share Greece between us. That short and dirty little war was the easiest part of the game so far.
I got two or three leaders, can't remember exactly. At least one of them was killed, as he was generated by a weak defender that died on the next attack. Used one for a 3-elite legion army and one for a wonder (iIrr).
Now I don't dare to continue the game and attack the Greek, as I expect my Legions to be useless against 12-pop cities with 8 Hoplite defenders. And the distance to the Persians are just unbearable, especially as they probably will have infantry when I come with a few galleons full of knights. Good game, but it seems lost to me.

Doesn't sound like much of an elite hacker pc if it's too slow for huge maps!
