    I know this poll is a day early, but these are the last batch of polls, and I am eager to get this process over with........

    I'll still open the public polls on the correct date though......

      Not too sure exactly what differences are made now that BtS is out, but have put some feelers out, and am working on the data......

        I think if you want ALL the differences, then someone needs to paste handicap.xml.

        That might also be slightly different between 3.13 & Burhic's. I assume that the next offical patch's handicap will look closer to Burhic's than 3.13 to the extent they differ.

        In a nutshell though, as difficultly level increases:
        1. Human's maintenance cost & inflation increases slowing the economy.
        2. Human science cost increases, slowing research
        3. Human bonsuses against Barbs decrease and evenually disapear entirely.
        4. More chances of barbs appearing from goody huts at the expense of good items, often the best advaible.
        5. Human free unit support decreases.
        6. # of defenders of barb towns increase.

        Following only apply if "No vasal states" unticked & a team for whatever reason grants a landmass indepence.

        7. AI build costs decrease.
        8. AI free unit support increases.
        9. AI gets free units when it got set free?
        10. AI gets free units when founding or capturing towns?

          Prince.
          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.

              I was debating between Prince and Monarch level but decided that because we are all human players then the difficulty of the game will be higher anyway because of our combined brainpower. Also, it looks like BtS's difficulty levels are made up differently from previous versions of civ.

              So I voted Prince.

                I'm thinking the AI should be Monarch+ due to the fact that there is multiple people evaluating each civ choices, leading to better play as compared one person playing a SP game.

                  The difference in happy and health caps are gone,right?
                  If so, with 7 human teams, not a great change.
                  Best regards,
