There is nothing sacred about Civilization V's Deity difficulty

I like my strategies grand and my city names grander.
I have won the occasional game of Civilization V on Prince difficulty so how much harder can Deity be, really? On a Huge map with 11 other AI players, can I build a society that will stand the test of time? Almost certainly not but if there's one thing French people are famous for it's losing with panache.

I think Prince and King are by far the best difficulty settings. Above and you get ridiculous AI bonus that makes the game way too tedious and you can lose a war despite being technologically and numerically superior to a foe without any real mistake on your part, just because the ai gets too many ridiculous buffs. King is as far as I'm willing to go in terms of handicaps, above is just a mess

Deity Mode AI supposedly has like 140% bonuses to all resources, but that is bullshit. Upon testing, the AI has no limit to number of units they can spawn as long as their food number is greater than 0. Best way to beat it is to get the steam tools Civ 5 map maker and make a small map with set spawn points. Spawning on small maps ignores start bias, meaning players spawn in order from bottom right to top left. Just set the AI to spawn higher up than the player on a desolate foodless tundra. I used this to troll my friends once, as player 1 always spawns in first you can use the same trick on them, and it might take them quite awhile to realize you spawned on hills of bountiful resources while they got a single grass tile.
