Maybe there&#8217;s a way to co-exist with England, but they&#8217;ll grow more powerful than you will be, and eventually, just like in real history, they&#8217;ll come for you. The following post describes both my failed Deity attempts and the relatively straight forward Emperor play through granting me the achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Edit: Encouraged by doing some research on Scottish history and by writing down the Emperor Strategy, I felt the urge to go for another &#8211; third &#8211; Deity game. And I made it! \ud83d\ude00 So I shortened the Emperor strategy in favor of a more extensive Deity guide.<\/p>\n<h2>The Celts on Deity &#8211; A story of failure<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the short history of my 2 Deity attempts: To weaken England early, before they can amass loads of units, I founded Newcastle and declared war on England in turn 10 already. Fighting off the initial attack (they already start with several Swordsmen and three (!!!) catapults), I garrisoned the forest hills in middle England. Not killing enough units, they overwhelmed me in turn 40.<\/p>\n<p>In my second Deity attempt I not only founded Newcastle, but also used the first Great General (from choosing the Honor Social Policy tree) to build a defensive citadel. England will continuously try to conquer and pillage that citadel, but the spot I chose is very defensible. So not only could I fight back all English attempts to march North, but I also chose to build 2 more citadels, advancing deep into England. Constantly killing English units, I first captured York and eventually London in turn 138. Later the Welsh Longbowmen bombarded Ireland, I captured my bridge head there and wiped out England.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately all of that took way too long. I did not send any caravels west for Exploration Victory points and I also was unable to build an army to conquer Almohad cities (in modern Morocco). The fleet I sent there was just too little too late.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-square tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"688\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.kalle-online.net\\\/blog\\\/renaissance-never-take-freedom-steam-achievement-guide\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:61551448}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 688px;

London in turn 83. I settled two cities on Ireland in turn 79 and 90. To keep the money flowing (getting Gold for kills from the completed Honor tree), I attacked <a href=\"\/blog\/into-the-renaissance-france-strategy-deity\/\">France<\/a> in turn 103. The first cities fell quickly. Paris in turn 142 even granting me VP, because they converted to Protestantism.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the (French!) coastal cities in Spain and Portugal, Lisbon (Muslim) fell in turn 165. After that I turned on the Almohads, capturing their coastal cities in turn 167, 169, 170.

You can fire all across the hills and the grassland, so no catapult should be able to fire (more than once) at your city. Unless your unit is at about 80HP (healing 20 each turn) always use promotions to heal in this state of the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Turning the tables &#8211; Conquering England as the Celts on Deity<\/h3>\n<p>Most likely England will have built a city on Ireland as well. Go for that city first. You can&#8217;t afford units landing in your back, while marching into South England. Strategically well placed roads can help bringing units from Edinburgh to the Irish battlefield in only 2 turns. This is essential, since you&#8217;ll lose a unit every 2 turns and it needs to be replaced! I razed Nottingham (turn 51-53), because its position would have allowed one more city at the west coast of Ireland. In fact England even sent a Settler there <strong>while <\/strong>I besieged Nottingham. Bottom line you don&#8217;t want more than 2 cities on Ireland, to not drain your economy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-square tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"688\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.kalle-online.net\\\/blog\\\/renaissance-never-take-freedom-steam-achievement-guide\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:61551448}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 688px;

Some of my Composite Bowmen had been upgraded to Welsh Longbowmen, some Pictish Warriors to Pikemen. London got captured in turn 99, only 16 turns later than in my Emperor game!!! Speaking of Welsh Longbowmen:<\/p>\n<h3>The Celtic Unique Units<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Pictish Warrior<\/th>\n<th>Welsh Longbowman<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Pictish Warrior has 2 key advantages: It earns you faith once you kill an enemy unit. Didn&#8217;t happen too often for me as I mainly defended with them, but it might be a nice bonus taking out some enemy archers or catapults (without endangering your Pictish Warrior). The second treat is: Pillaging doesn&#8217;t cost a movement point! So you can for example move an injured Pictish Warrior into enemy land (with a worker), pillage a farm, repair it, pillage it again (healing 50 HP!) and still attack an adjacent enemy! Unlike the &#8220;earning faith&#8221; ability, pillaging without movement costs stays with the unit even while upgrading to Pikemen.<\/td>\n<td>The Welsh Longbowmen, just like their English pendant come with a range of 3. This is incredibly powerful when besieging enemy cities.

The libraries actually aren&#8217;t the important thing itself &#8211; building the National College in Edinburgh is! So time your libraries well &#8211; no reason to have it in one city, while the others lack behind 15 turns. Here&#8217;s my Research order and the turns I got those techs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Guilds &#8211; improving your economy early on is important. Especially some trading posts next to river tiles are helpful.<\/li>\n<li>Civil Service (turn 57) &#8211; Pikemen are nice, although it means you can&#8217;t build Pictish Warriors anymore.<\/li>\n<li>Machinery (turn 82) &#8211; upgrade your veteran Composite Bowmen to Welsh Longbowmen for the siege of London!<br \/>\n&#8212; ignore Metal Casting! It&#8217;s not essential right now!<\/li>\n<li>Theology (turn 89)<\/li>\n<li>Education (turn 101) &#8211; switch ALL CITIES to build Universities immediately! In your high production cities you can finish the current project first, but the low production cities should switch right now! Why is this important? Once you have a University, set the city to Science focus, so you got some scientists working in the University. This will speed up the next techs:<\/li>\n<li>Compass (turn 109) &#8211; by now you should have all your Universities and set all cities to Science focus. A research agreement back from turn 78 (with the Netherlands) finished in 103, helping to research Compass in only 8 turns. So don&#8217;t waste the money from your England-conquest &#8211; invest it wisely!<\/li>\n<li>Astronomy (turn 120) &#8211; Once you start researching Astronomy &#8211; start building University of Oxford. But DO NOT finish it before finishing Astronomy! Ideally it should finish the very next turn, so you can choose:<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exploration (turn 121) as your free technology!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1558\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1558\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/renaissance-never-take-freedom-steam-achievement-guide\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1558\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1558\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/renaissance-never-take-freedom-steam-achievement-guide\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Civilization 5 Into the Renaissance Celts Deity Caravels Heading West\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;An overall 1500 Victory Points for building 5 caravels in time.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Getting VP for all 5 Expeditions&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west-300x168.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Civilization 5 Into the Renaissance Celts Deity Caravels Heading West\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-134-caravels-heading-west.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getting VP for all 5 Expeditions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Getting Exploration this early should give a quite high chance to score the full 1.500 VP for Exploration.

This is quite likely for <a href=\"\/blog\/into-the-renaissance-spain-strategy-deity\/\">Spain<\/a> and France, since they will explore the unknown area between Spain and the border of the map.<\/p>\n<p>After scoring all Exploration VP, I researched first Metal Casting (building workshops and Ironworks) and then Navigation. Seaports tremendously improve production in your coastal cities!<\/p>\n<h2>Never take our Freedom &#8211; Operation &#8220;African Liberation&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Right after conquering London, embark your units into the English Channel. Buy open borders with France if necessary, and move your units towards Africa. Take most of them. Only leave the weakest (or not upgraded Composite Bowmen) as garrisons in your cities (for Happiness and Culture). The timing should be okay: Soon after that you&#8217;ll research Compass, allowing for faster embarked movement and to finally cross ocean tiles. The army I shipped South consisted of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 Swordsmen<\/li>\n<li>3 Welsh Longbowmen (2 of them already veterans with Logistics)<\/li>\n<li>3 Pikemen (former Pictish Warriors)<\/li>\n<li>2 Catapults (which were useless, because the heavily fortified Moroccan cities already killed 1 Spanish Trebuchet per turn &#8211; Catapults wouldn&#8217;t stand a chance)<\/li>\n<li>1 Horseman<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I had arrived in Northern Africa in the late 110s. Positioning my units around the first Spanish city, I could place 3 Longbowmen in a way all 3 could fire on Granada. And so the war started in turn 121! Problem was: Spain also attacked the Almohads at that time. This is both blessing and curse. It&#8217;s nice to have someone help you, deal with the Moroccan fleet etc. But also it&#8217;s a threat to the goal: <strong>We<\/strong> need to capture those cities to score victory points &#8211;

Conclusion<\/h1>\n<p>As of the &#8220;Messages&#8221; tab of the winning\/statistics overview this game took me 13 hours, 55 minutes. Of course that doesn&#8217;t include loading, saving, a little bit of back and forth here and there. Probably it&#8217;s been rather something like 20-24 hours of play time just for the final, successful Deity game. Together with the successful Emperor attempt and two failed Deity attempts this have been about 80 hours play time! By now I can say &#8220;Into the Renaissance&#8221; is the scenario with the highest depth of gameplay so far! Even better than the <a title=\"Civilization 5 Scramble for Africa Scenario Strategy and Achievement Guide\" href=\"\/blog\/civilization-5-scramble-africa-scenario-strategy-achievement-guide\/\">Scramble for Africa<\/a>. 200 turns give you plenty of time to identify with your empire. While the first 50 seem to crawl by, normally they are crucial to later success. 50-150 is mostly build up, while the last 50 turns are purely warfare.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1545\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/renaissance-never-take-freedom-steam-achievement-guide\/into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-expansion\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-expansion.gif\" data-orig-size=\"545,409\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Civilization 5 Into the Renaissance Celts Deity Expansion\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Secure Britain first, then advance into Northern Africa for Victory Points&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Expansion of the Celtic Empire&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-expansion-300x225.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-expansion.gif\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1545 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/into-the-renaissance-celts-deity-expansion.gif\" alt=\"Civilization 5 Into the Renaissance Celts Deity Expansion\" width=\"545\" height=\"409\" \/>Even in warfare there are huge differences between civilizations and the way you play: Some civilizations rely almost solely on land war (like the Turks for the <a title=\"Into the Renaissance \u2013 Mehmet the Conqueror Steam Achievement Guide\" href=\"\/blog\/renaissance-mehmet-conqueror-steam-achievement-guide\/\">Mehmet the Conqueror achievement<\/a>), while others tend to be 90% naval warfare. The Celts are a nice mixture between both: Your navy will only be defending your Celtic homeland and (and maybe later goes on the offense). Meanwhile you&#8217;ll have a good share of land war in Morocco, mostly fought with a small pack of veterans. The final map on the right represents that quite well: All conquest in Norther Africa took about 80 turns. The conquest of most of Germanys and Denmarks coast on the other hand was a thing of only 20 turns.<\/p>\n<p>Also: Making the &#8220;Never take our Freedom&#8221; Steam achievement is an incredibly rewarding experience. That was on Emperor though. Finding a way to repeat it on Deity difficulty, especially after the first failed attempts, makes it even more special to me. This probably is the reason, why in this post I included 3 images of the Main menu, highlighting the fact, that this was really really Deity difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this provides a bit of help, should you struggle with this Steam Achievement.
