Blimey, I can't even imagine Deity level. I'm still getting a resounding kicking at Warlord.

[Special_Olympic]

Chieftan because winning is everything.

[jdd2007]

i play......on warlord. shhhhh!

[Kolyana]

Currently playing Warlord. I'm giving the comp a run for it's money at the mo, so stepping up a notch in the next game or two is probably in order.

[MattHiggs]

I used to play Deity on Civ 2... but I am still learning Civ 3 so I am on Cheiftan until I start racking up some good scores. Then I'll progressivley move up as I learn moer and more about the game.

currently I start my games on emperor,
but played much regent last month because of the tournament.

I'm beginning to understand and win emperor, thus I'll soon move on to my favourite civ2 level...... deity

[laurentius]

Yeah, emperor it is. Tried regent and monarch. The conclusion:
Theres no point winning if the AI doesnt cheat anough
A bit challenge, but hey winnning then tastes hundreds percents sweeter!

[Nevs23]

Monarch.

I tried Regent at first, but was so far behind that my prospects were for survival only. I decided I'd learn the game better at Warlord. I'm still in my first game at Warlord, Large Map, and am again leading. Been playing the same game for about 3 1/2 weeks! Whew! I'm not likely to move up for another game or two.

[tishco]

ceiften cos i'm only a warlord mostly on civ 2 or thingy, librarian i think, on smac

[Velociryx]

Started testing at Regent and playing "serious" games at Monarch, and recently bumped that up a notch (Testing at Monarch and playing for keeps at Emperor).

Deity soon to follow....just wanna play something OTHER than the rush strat....I'm workin' on it....

I played regent once and had such an easy win (was it luck, don't know... i guess not) that I won't play easier than monarch from now on.

So I've played a dozen games at monarch, but only trough the Middle Ages, since in my opinion, the rest of the game is no problem usually. I would say someone's better to work on improving his early game than his games' end. So I have to win yet at monarch, but I never ended a game either. But I swear to God I'll win a monarch game, oh yes I will or my name's Buckethead no more !

But I'd like to know something from all of you : for the same difficulty level, whatever it is you're playing, what map size do you use when you're thinking : "ok, i must win this one" ? I played small, standard and large. And maybe experience will prove me wrong again here, but so far I had better success with the large maps. Note that I always play the "continent" map ; this might be a factor too.

And for those of you who are playing deity : damn ! What planet do you come from ? I could sometime get a deity win playing Civ2, but the game's mechanics have changed so much in Civ3, I'll need a couple of months to even try deity.

Nice poll subject btw,
