    How challenging do you like your games?

    Me. I like it fairly relaxed but enough to keep me on my toes.

    The longer it takes to become apparent that I'll win, the better.

      I prefer my games to be moderately challenging, because I often want to play causally without putting that many efforts in the game, yet I don't want ti to be a no-brainer either

        Normal starts on diety. The only problem with diety games is that war is the only way to win.

          Nomarl start on deity, but if it's an unpromising start position I'll quit early. I like to at least have a chance to win.

            Very challenging. I like a game that will test me, but I ain't gonna play a deity game where I'm stuck with 5 tundra tiles.

                As a builder, I prefer them moderately challenging. In fact they are often quite challenging during Ancient Age et quite relax at the end of the Industrial Age.

                  I want to win, but I don't want it to be apparent with map making that I'm going to win. My current game had absolutely no wars until early industrial.. sometimes I just like expanding.

                      In a way the game is more fun before you start playing on Diety and it turns into a pure wargame. I miss those monarch builder games.

                        Moderately challenging. Monarch level games meet this criteria. Emperor level games increase my anxiety level significantly which adds to my satifaction after the fact.

                          My favorite games are moderately challenging come from behind wins. Moderately challenging for me means - once map and opponents dictate what kind of goals I am going to set - I am able to work on my long term game strategy with a fair share, but generally normal, challenges and adjustments. I do not like playing a completely reactive game. Nor do I like starting out ahead, staying that way, and doing whatever I want unimpeded.

                            I often play relatively easy games for two reasons:

                            1) I suck.

                            and

                            2) It's more relaxing to play an easy game.

                            But when I want a more deep game, I crank it up a notch or two.

                            we should also know when to stop.
