My vote was influenced a little bit by the way Gramphos suggested to calculate the difficulty level from the votes. IMO anything below Emperor is no challenge for more than 30 humans!!. So I voted Deity. But perhaps it is a bit too much for the first Democracy game? Emperor is ok with me. Depends a bit on the CIV we play of course. If we also choose a "bad" CIV, I will even be satisfied
with Monarch.

Emperor, without a doubt...You saw what you wanted
You took what you saw
We know how you did it
Your method equals wipe outComment

I would like the regent level, but I'm open for higher if people think that is best. I only think we should start low and then try the higher levels when we know we can do it!

A lot of people don't have experience with the higher levels. Let's play at either Regent or Monarch, so that everyone knows what's going on.Comment

Hmm... Thinking about the other arguments here, I think that Deity might really be too much... Emperor or even Monarch sounds good.I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

I'm good with Emperor.
If people don't really know how to play... then don't be president or a minister.
Games like this take... a... very... long... time... to... play, so chances are we may not even have another game like this.

Please, that game really was over by the beginning of the middle ages. We're twice the size of anypne else. We need Emperor, minimum, or we will reach certain victory before the game is half over.Originally posted by Eli
Do you prefer a world where we grow 2x as fast as the AI and achieve dominance by the industrial era? Because this is what will happen if we choose Monarch or other "low" difficulty levels?
Though I must admit now that Deity might be really too much. At CFC they play on Monarch level and they are a very powerful civ, but not more than that.
Maybe Emperor?"I used to be a Scotialist, and spent a brief period as a Royalist, but now I'm PC"

I'm personally all for Monarch. Nice and... not-too-hard. I think Diety is pure madness, but, luckily, using our vote counting system, it has just about no chance of happening! Yay!Wojit - He likes riceComment

The problem with this system is that things like Diety or Chieftan can never win. It will either be Regent or Monarch (most likely Monarch), without a doubt, due to the natural distribution of votes.Comment

well, i think it's more fair...
It's like how the Electoral College system in the US would be if reformed. In most states, even if a party gets 49.999% of the votes, the otehr party still wins every single one of the electoral votes...Comment

And that's fair? [IMG]http://www.colute.net/cwm/cwm/3dlil/****.gif[/IMG]Comment

No, I guess I was a bit unclear. NOT averaging it would be like the electoral college. how we're doing it is:

Actually, this proposition would be more like having 5 different canidates, 1 on the far left, 1 somewhat left, 1 in the middle, 1 somewhat right, and 1 far right. You average up the votes for all of them, and whereever the most lies (nearly always the middle) wins. That's not the best way to do things, IMO.

My vote is for Emperor. Anything less would be too easy for us to face collectively."Corporation, n, An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." -- Ambrose Bierce
