    Doesn't matter as much with no AIs (and that's the way I voted in the other poll) so how about Prince?

    Barbarians show up more often and the empire management gets more difficult as the difficulty level gets higher.

    I voted immortal. The reduced free happy and healthy faces make resource trading more important, which I think makes MP games more interesting.

    Good point, but Immortal may be stretching it a bit......

    I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

    Can someone (Keygen) clarify how this poll is going to work??

    Is it the majority wins, or an average, or a run off etc etc etc.....

    Surely if two options are tied - then we would have a second poll with just the tied options - that is the democratic way after all.

    I vote for the average... meaning Monarch would be the level at this stage.

    If we are working on an average I vote Immortal so the average hopefully falls at Emperor

    The votes now are: Noble-1;Prince-3;Emperor-5;Immortal-3.

    So, it looks the average would be Emperor (5+3).

    Am I wrong?

    It's trivial to finish a game in Deity. Winning is another matter, although that's not too difficult if you pick the right settings. Winning under 'usual' settings is much more difficult, though by no means impossible.

    Upkeep, happiness, health, and barbarians are the main differences as I recall (I may be missing some, can't remember off the top of my head). Plus of course research becomes more expensive the higher you go up. So difficulty level actually is fairly relevant.

    I would say absolutely no lower than Noble, since otherwise technology progresses at breakneck pace. I personally voted for Monarch (the first vote ), but I'd be happy with anything higher than that too.

    I think the Immortial level is best because this is the replacement for the old Demi God level, and the DG level for a DG just makes a lot of sense.

    Emperor precedes pretty clear, with Immortal and Prince following in the 2nd and 3rd position respectively.

    I voted Monarch.

    Puts more emphisis on resorces (like someone mentioned earlier), plus makes expansive/charismatic traits more important.

    Emp or Diety will slow things down too much imo, but are prefered to Warlord or Cheiften.
