What is the highest level you have won on?

[AJ Corp. The FAIR]

It's kind of sad that the deity level is overwhelmingly strong due to cheats (far too many starting units, other bonuses) and extreme tech devaluation, that flies by ways too fast.

IMO it's not serious that you actually haven't got many choices playing deity: you'll simply be running awfully behind (in terms of expansion, techs) throughout the biggest (and best) part of the game, hoping (or deliberately aiming) for a catch up later on.
(except if you're Aeson and keep on building and exploiting every single piece of territory available )

I've stayed away from these forums for quite some time now as I find most things already have been mentioned a thousand times ...
or maybe because I just love my prince status

But when PTW and MOO3 arrive, I'll be back.

Hasta la vista baby!

PS: the strategy forum has some new decent threads, I've noticed. Happily, not everything is declining

Deity level is tough, but it's not too hard to win. Since AI is cheating so bad, they could get to the modern age very quickly; that also mean that you could get to the modern age quickly too.

What is Ultra Deity?

It was a new level that I made up. I was going to claim that if you won the game with every civ on deity, you unlocked the new and harder Ultra Deity level. (Don't ask me why I can't spell Ultra correctly w/o spellcheck).

But I was affraid someone might take me seroiusly and spend the next 2 years of their life actually trying to do it.

Let's just says that

Ultra Deity = Bananas

I have won several times on Regent, always playing as the Germans. I think I have the skill to win at Monarch but right now I'm happy with the challenge Regent provides !

I won on Diety once then quit playing that level because it sucks. It cheats enormously and the chance of you winning depends mostly on luck. Diety just isn't an enjoyable experience. The AIs trade techs insanely, and they cheat with elevated science and production. I ended the game in 1300 with nukes. Something just doesn't seem right about that. Emperor is the best level to play.

Emp...until I found the DyP mod...

Yo alva848 (why the 848?),

the ALVA part is more or less my initials of my real name.
the reference to the infamous duke is completely coincedental, but a nice touch i guess
The 848 part was needed to log in at another side, ALVA was allready taken, so they came up with a few alternative suggestions, one being 848 wich i guess sounds better then 534 or951 or something

Onn topic: the higher the level, the more micromanagement you need to do. I don't think you can get away with putting yours city's on auto-pilot on deity
has anyone tried this and lived to tell btw

EDITED : typo's be damned !!!

You can change my vote from Warlord to Regent because I just won my first game on Regent.

[Fraze]

Do people lie on Apolyton ?

At least 3 voted for a level that doesn't exist, bet some others exaggerated as well.

I've not won yet but I've only played at regent so far. I think Ill take a step down and see if I can win at warlord.

[W4r_Machine]

I've won(UN vote) monarch just now.
