[BTS] Please help with Deity level, and some tips with OCC

Hi, I win most of time in Imm so I trying to move to Deity. It's fun, but so hard. Here is what I am wondering about Deity.

1. I can not handle worker steal in Deity. All AI, even Gahni, is so hard to make peace after I snatch his worker. I tried to build 3-4 warrior, tech TW, Mining which often get me peace easily in Imm but Deity AIs say no all the time, no matter what. How could you Deity players get peace for worker steal?

2. I was able to win a few time with Deity by using the most broken leader, HC, and I was not satisfy :(. How could you peaceful REX against AI?

I often play small maps, with 6 AIs. And I never got enough land to do anything. Is war the only answer to Deity AIs where they out produce us in everything?

3. One of my challenge is Deity OCC. I think the answer to keep up with tech is EE. With combine hybird EE, GP bulb, normal research, I manage to win Lib race and become tech leader most of time. My earliest win for OCC is 940 AD, conquest, with PA option. Is it good enough? Is there anyway to win sooner? With the normal start: stone, 3-4 Food resources.

Thanks in advance for any tips and hope for a good discussion :goodjob:
