This is my game report for the Epic 10 event held at:
Realms Beyond Civilization
Game Setup
This extreme adventure was sponsored by Sulla and didn’t really have any variant
twists, except the only victory condition enabled was conquest. No scoring was set for
the game, submitted games would be split into 3 groups: defeated, survived until 2050
and victors… Neat. Here’s the basic setup:
- Map Script: Continents, Tropical
- Sea Level: Normal
- Game Speed: Epic
- Difficulty: Deity (!)
- World Size: Small
- Opponents: Four
And we are playing this guy:

Initial thoughts:
Ok, I’ve only ever win one game above normal difficulty, and that was on prince. So a
jump to deity is not going to be smooth. The main thing that made me even consider
playing this one is that I’ve recently been able to play quite a few games peacefully
through diplomacy, I’m mainly a builder at heart so maybe, just maybe I can survive
until 2050, that would be cool. Winning this thing by conquest or even highest score
at 2050 would seem to be a dream.
As the above shows I choose to go into this with the sole aim of surviving, in
retrospect that was a mistake as it often leads to somewhat sloppy play with no real
strategy throughout the game. The classic words of Yoda come to mind: "Do, or do not.
There is no try."
