Every civ to the right starts progressively further ahead. Civ 6 deity challenge.

In this custom civ 6 scenario, you need to work your way right. The catch is, the first civ you encounter started the game in the same era as you while the next one over started one full era ahead. The last civilization started a full two eras ahead. That's right, they get all of the techs, civics, monuments, starting population, and all of the other insane bonuses that deity ai's start out with in civ 6.
Download the mod for yourself and try it out! Can you do better? Better yet, join my discord and try out some deity challenges with other people!

Hey Otter! I have a challenge for you! Did you know you can use Archeologists to raise zombies in other civs' territory?? I bet that would make for a fun video! -Use Sparta for the half cost Theater Squares and for the Culture Boost every time you kill a zombie -Get Vampires for the extra military, plus the extra defense structures that are the Vampire Castles -Build lots of Barricades in your own territory -Beeline Archeologists -Use Anansi to help get Archeologists faster -Use Hercules to insta-build late game Theater Squares -Use strong melee Heroes like Beowolf to protect your territory, as well as at least one central Encampment City -Lots of Harbors and Commercial Hubs to be able to purchase Archeologists late game -About midgame start killing off zombies as much as possible (as they get stronger each time a zombie dies) -Then for the execution, once the zombies are nice and strong, send Archeologists into foreign cities to raise the dead! Each time you extract an artifact, it raises 2 zombies. Every time a zombie dies or kills something, it should do two things: 1. Create another spawn point for a zombie 2. Create another artifact to extract with an Archeologist, thus raising 2 more zombies I know zombies can't take capitals, so you'd have to bring a vampire over to take each capital once the zombies got it down to 0 health. I call it the Necromancy Challenge. (could even throw the twins in since they technically raise the dead too!)

My suggestion is to make your first neighbor Gaul, and give them m9re hills. Make your next neighbor Vietnam and give her a lot of swamp. For your final boss, I think Korea was a great choice, but if you leave the coasts open you might consider swapping Korea for Norway so you face the risk of a naval invasion. Next, give your opponent's one wonder apiece. Give Gaul the Giant's Causeway. Give Vietnam The Fountain of Youth. And give your final civ Patiti.
