When it comes to 4X game Civilization VI, there are a bunch of ways you can challenge yourself. The one-city challenge is a fun one, but a more obvious achievement is beating the legendary strategy game on its most legendary difficulty setting - Deity.
This titanic feat is going to require S-tier strats, the kind of galaxy-brained plays that epitomise every single meme you can think of, and then some. For newer players who have less experience with Civ VI's systems, it can be hard to know what those are. If you're one of those people - perhaps you picked the game up while it was stupendously cheap - you're in luck. The Civilization community is here to help with their most mad-cap strategies.
User TheFreeloader from the Civilization subreddit started a thread to collect crazy or overpowered tips, with the aim of helping "newer players who want something that will allow them to beat Deity for the first time." We've had a look at some of these, and can confirm that there are indeed some next-level plays.
