      Continents or Terra with Low Sea Level are fun for me. Gives a bit more room.

            at last somebody who is playing above normal. Not that I want to boast, but is it not a bit easy if one play on normal? The AI has no advantage over the player, and a big problem: its only an IA, not a human brain...

            Just wondering, again it has nothing to do with boasting (I play above normal, in emperor), perhaps the game is more fun with lower settings?

              Higlands map, or Pangaea with Low water level. I like having more room to expand into. Large or Standard size maps are best as well.

              Bismark is my favoutite civ, but I like Isabella and Caesar as well.
              You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

                Map type: Pangea or 2-3 continents
                Map size: Standard
                Diffeculty: Noble
                Civs: 8+
                Map settings: random
                Without domination and diplomacy victories (The AI can't win those anyway)
                This space is empty... or is it?

                  Everyone has a different skill level I guess. I'm still on Noble and I can't win (yeah I know I suck). The AI always seems to have boatloads more units than I can produce.

                  I usually disable all victories except conquest, standard size map (want larger but computer can't handle it), 6 opponents, no barbarians, different maps. I've been looking for a map with a really harsh environment, but can't seem to find one. Tried ice age/highlands/desert. Anyone know of a really hostile map (lots of mountains/desert/ice, very few resources)?

                    I always liked the Heroes2 random map. You could give a % to various variables...

                    Tundra 50%
                    Grass 20%
                    Desert 20%
                    Sea 10%

                    Resources Few - Normal - Many

                    etc
                    etc

                      Many more games to play at many more settings, but the best so far:

                      Huge Lake Map
                      18 Civs
                      Noble Difficulty
                      Epic Speed
                      Tech Trading Off
                      All Victory Conditions except Space Ship On.
                      Permanent Alliances On
                      Played As: Isabella

                      Several decent wars were fought, was able to support a fairly large empire (20 or more cities, IIRC), religion was a very important factor as was diplomacy.

                            Also I forgot to mention I have tech trading off, this slows down the game a bit
