I’m not a prodigy and this is a time where it doesn’t matter. Four ages (six millennia) of six regimes and dozens of Wonders, City Improvements, techs, units and two to six rivals from the dawn of civilization in BCE 4000 to the end of the nation-state in CE 2020 is already a bitch. But on higher difficulties? You're out of your mind. Maybe to Emperor is doable (though it's still hard). But Deity? Likely impossible.
Settings are the “recommended” ones. This means Large (75*120, 8000^2) Map with all seven (me and six others, the barbarians don’t count) nations, random planet form, and Raging Hordes Barbarians. The difficulty level is Chieftain ("lowest"*). This episode ends in 1912.
Game Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Length: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
*I say "lowest" vaguely because running a whole empire is harder than it looks regardless. For the curious, I agree it’s stupid you need use Google Ads due to alt-right abuse of algorithmic flaws.
