      Sometimes I just crank the bar up to Diety and play my normal style, just to watch my arse getting kicked. I find that it helps my gameplay a lot.

          I almost always play on Emperor, which usually gives me a fair fight (I win maybe 50% of the times, but I admit that I restart if my starting-position is really bad). I've never won on Deity, though - I guess I am not offensive enough in the Ancient times...

              I mostly play regent and monarch levels. I think monarch maybe the perfect balance for me but kind of difficult sometimes. It depends on the map and its settings.

                I prefer a middle way. Of course it would be boring to just walk over the competition but on the other hand it would be annoying to start the game every 10minutes because you got beaten.

                A moderately challenging game is best. At first build up your country, get the economy on the road and afterwards clash with your enemies with huge armies and mega-battles WOHOO

                  Always playing on monarch and emperor level.

                  For me the game is always challenging in the first half of the game, whatever the level. If I survive by the development of nationalism, things are looking good.

                    It depends on my mood; sometimes I like a major challenge, at other times, just an average challenge. I don't want a cake walk, but I also don't want it to be almost impossible to win.

                    I have restarted on maps that I have considered too easy, but I don't usually restart a bad start location. A bad start location can make the game even more challenging.

                        I think, like most human beings, I'm not a big fan of being beaten thoroughly, although there are masochists out there. I don't want to know that winning is only a matter of time, but at the same time, I don't want to know early on that I don't have a prayer. I want to earn my victory.
