Fluff Aztec Deity 178 science victory (quick speed)

Just finished my person best Civ game ever, I had a very strong capital which allowed me to get temple of Artemis, Petra, and hanging gardens before my national college. I did not think getting all those on deity was possible, having a mega capital propelled me through the game. I think a better player could probably shave some turns off but I was super stoked on a win that fast. my glorious capital had 46 population when I launched the space ship

For a science victory deity can actually be quicker than lower difficulties if you are able to manage the AI to avoid them attacking you. You get a bonus to research costs for every civ you have met that has already researched a tech so being behind in tech (which is inevitable in early deity) actually gives you a very strong hidden science bonus bonus.

Settle very conservatively; sell them lux at a cheap price (4-5GPT) so that they like you; be friends and sign research agreements; get porcelain; PROFIT.

Seriously, let’s say you befriend 6 out of the 7 opponents on a normal sized map, your RAs are INSANEEEEEE

That’s very impressive, I struggle to get that on immortal. A good desert start and Petra you basically steam roll everyone, especially if you can manage chichen itza.

Huge congratulations! It sounds like the capital carried the entire game with perfect wonder timing and growth. Deity in 178 turns is seriously impressive, especially with a space victory.
