Honestly I really like it when Potato spends extra time planning and pinning his empire while explaining his reasoning. It's cool to see and really helps me understand why he does what he does in his games.

[@metalsalsa]

It's interesting and also stresses me out because I put the pressure on myself to plan everything out and obsess to the point I don't have fun :(

[@McFallenOne]

@@metalsalsa I feel that. I've gone overboard sometimes trying plan out several cities at once. When it starts feeling too much like homework or perfectionism, I do something kinda chaotic and loosey goosey to compensate.

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Methodical playing help tremendously. I love it. That's why I also loved Arumba and his EU4 plays.

@@metalsalsa Personally when I do it, it makes me feel smart, which I’m not, but I like the feeling.

*Pledges to get even better at the game.* *Rolls hero lottery after painstakingly planning empire.* Never change Potato; that is exactly why I learned to play well on Deity, while memeing by wonder spamming, from you.

[@JainZar1]

It's not a lottery if you savescum the outcome...

[@Sidnv]

I think rolling heroes till you find Sinbad is probably optimal as long as you have a coastal city. The amount of gold he generates in the ancient and classical age is broken.

[@stormrider1049]

@@Sidnv nah, in deity it’s either you’re building an army or infrastructure early. If you roll a good hero, then naturally stop by. I’m currently playing a game w/ Australia memeing as usual. Aka building wonders and trying to soak up as many heroes as possible, the ones that appear to me naturally that is. Due to production costs of my hubris, can’t exactly afford to roll the lottery. I do have Sinbad in Medieval Era, and he’s still real good going into the next. Any lower difficulties, sure, roll til you find Hercules or Sinbad. Personally, there’s infinitely better things to do than read a tale, even when you’re memeing.

[@Sidnv]

@@stormrider1049 I play exclusively deity and Sinbad is still gamebreaking. If you have any space to greed, it's absolutely worth greeding heroes over other infrastructure, they pay themselves back manifold. The returns you get from Sinbad, Himiko, Hercules and Anansi are more than any other infrastructural expenditure. If I don't have to build an army and have reasonable expanding space, then I will get one or two settlers and just spam till I find one of the gamebreaking heroes, preferably Sinbad. Early game is all about expansion, culture, golden age and faith if you can get it. Hercules will probably win you a war on his own and finish three districts, which guarantee golden age. Anansi gets you to Political Philosophy asap, which is the most important infrastructural landmark in the early game, since it gets you to the Ancestral Hall and better production via policy cards. Himiko buys you envoys, and more importantly, faith, which turns into crazy monumentality in classical. She also acts as a super general if you need her. And Sinbad just gets you 6 settlers in monumentality. The only reason to not greed for one of these four is an early war. Horse rushes are still strong and not getting rolled by a close neighbor is important. Wonders, on the other hand, are basically never worth it early. Districts, aside from ones with big adjacency, don't do that much for you early either. It's all about expansion, which the top heroes do better for you than anything else in the game. If you're also playing with Barbarian clans, you never have to worry about military either. It's not worth producing them for the most part, you just buy the barbarian offerings. Pillaging the clans gets you enough gold to keep doing this and buying is much more efficient than production before you've unlocked the policy cards.

[@stormrider1049]

@@Sidnv …and if you do exclusively play deity, then you know that consistency is worth more than variance. I cannot imagine how much you have to reroll (starts and heroes) before you’re satisfied otherwise. Edit: also, you keep mentioning golden ages too… like really? Classical is tight, and the only Civ I’ve found to consistently get those independent of luck is Russia. Cuz they’re busted. All you’ve said still talks about perfect luck, landing on those specific heroes. More often than not, you will be sitting duck sifting through heroic tales if you’re not just playing the game normally and going from there. I’ve only seen Potato go through heroic tales if he’s alone, wants to meme, or after he has infrastructure. And clans is also RNG. Sometimes they don’t spawn near you, near enough for you to raid without someone else clearing, or they just give you the opposite of what you need in a sea or land locked game. Also 30 gold is not going to compensate for a bad tale run. My point is, I’m not arguing that heroes aren’t game breaking, as you mainly explained how to use them like I couldn’t figure that out. I’m saying, that on average, good deity players know to play the game and win normally rather than rely on luck. I’ve never gotten Hercules in my science wins for example, but I’m not going to be zealous and waste my time ~8 turning a tale or more when I could’ve gotten a scout to stumble on that naturally. If I did get lucky, then the potential # of turns gambling is converted into actually getting a monument and hero and THEN you really start break the game. But you should be doing that already without fishing in the lottery, heroes are just a nice bonus. So no, it’s not “optimal” until you roll for Sinbad… and yes I noticed you moved the goalpost. Only Sinbad and Hercules are worth any tales and even then just do something else. Besides, fucking monopolies are the real game breaking hero.

In regards to religion beliefs and buildings, I've found the Computer usually goes after Cathedrals and Feed the world first in my games, even on the rare occasion I play on Deity. Not quite sure why Cathedrals are such a hot topic in my games, but they are, so I can usually snag Meeting Houses or Wats. Not a clue why though.

[@mattkrambeer6113]

Honestly, on water heavy maps, doing the heroic tale lootboxes to try to get Sinbad is a legitimate strategy. On water heavy maps, Sinbad is God-tier, even better than Hercules. He can get you thousands of early game gold, he can circumnavigate the world in the classical era, and you can meet every civ in the game in about the same amount of time. You will be rolling in gold and era score, and you can easily clear those annoying coastal barbarian camps as well. With all that early game gold, you can jump start your new cities by either buying builders or the city center buildings. It's just so unbelievably good, especially if you get lucky on your first or second lootbox.
