As Phase said, the AI isn't all that great at combat, and you can exploit this pretty easily. Granted, it does take some experience, but once you get used to proper scouting (know when and where the attacks are coming), proper defense (know which cities are defensible, when to pull back and when to stand your ground, drawing proper battle lines), and most of all patience (this is where I fail on Deity, I always go to early and it's just not feasible against more than one Deity opponent.) If you can get a +1 range promotion on any ranged unit you have basically won the game, the AI is really bad at dealing with them.

Now, there's a lot more to a successful Deity game than combat (timing wonders and GP, holding GP, the science race, etc), but you shouldn't let the bonuses scare you, it's not all that bad once you learn their tricks.

Granted that's assuming you like to play that way. To be honest I find it kind of dull sometimes myself.

I play on Emperor for casual game, Immortal for challenging games, and Deity on occasion when I want to play certain ways (I'm not co-ordinated enough to win a military victory on Deity with more than 3 opponents, so I mostly play OCC Cultural in Deity). Not sure why King would be the best difficulty though, Prince is the one where everything is even.

Played a game as the Mayans, I think they might be the strongest player controlled civ in the expansion. All 3 of their Unique items are amazing.

Diplomatic Victories feel too cheap to me. It's just how much gold can you get in one turn.

Cultural victories are where it's at.

It's the only way I can win on Deity at least.

Warning: sort of long.

Tried out the Byzantines because they had a basic UA related to religion and dropped myself down to Prince to test out the new stuff in the expansion..

1) Dromons are very, very powerful compared to Triremes. Which was a good thing, because:

2) AIs seems to have gotten much better at combat, specifically naval combat. China was the nation right below mine, and while I was building culture buildings she took the opportunity to make a big fleet and launch an invasion. Luckily for me the turn before I had decided to get a few more Dromons to protect my borders, or I'd have lost my capital. Was a 5 land/8 ship fleet on Prince. I ended up crushing her pretty easily in the end, but it is only Prince after all.

3) Diplomacy seems a lot more stable now. After finishing off China 2 of the people I was not friends with called me a warmonger, but my friends didn't bat an eye. I have held steady friendships for over 250 turns now (on Epic) without a single breakdown. It's a nice change.

4) Religion seems very powerful to me. I made it a goal to get first pick of abilities and took the +1 production to fishing boats, which gave all my cities at least a +3. Used my UA to pick up the culture from Pastures (aiming for a Cultural victory, as those are my favourite) which amounted to +12ish, and all this came in before I had hit 100 turns. I do wish I had picked the option to buy units with Faith though, as after I built my Padogas it's been pretty worthless unless a city state quest comes up.

5) Espionage is a bit limited, but I like it as a hedge against runaway civs. I'm using my spies on Napoleon right now, as he's going up the military half of the tech tree and I'm going on the culture path. So I get free military tech upgrades without having to divert my beakers. I do wish there was a steal culture/sabotage building sort of option to give me something to do against people that aren't out-teching me, but that might be intentional that I cannot.

6) City states feel a lot more involved now. I actually aim for quests to keep my influence up, rather than throwing money at it. Faith ones might be a bit overpowered at the start of the game though. I like that the Military ones can give out specific UUs as well, makes your choice of city state relevant.

7) Love the new tech tree, and the archer line upgrades. Not so sure about the change to how hard cities are to capture, but I guess now that siege units don't have a resource cost it's okay.

Overall, glad I spent the money, would buy again.

If Boyle didn't want to get in trouble he shouldn't have put a headlock on Karlsson while punching him repeatedly.

At least we gave him the chance to fight back, not our fault he's a coward.

A+ penalty kill though.

Mostly because they cut away immediately before the ref brought his arm down.

Blue->Wolves->Wraiths->Red->Golems

You can usually start at wolves if you have good team support (or are Mundo/Shyvana/Udyr) before blue pops. Can gank at 2 or 4 depending on champion.

Champions with built in sustain or superspeed do not need armor+pots to jungle, especially with a good leash. Can go like boots+pots or armor+pots+ward.

Buy armor yellows if you haven't already.

Edit:Forgot to mention, manaless champions should do wraiths->red->gank. You should be level 2 while they are level 1, gives you a big advantage.
