We've decided about every start option of our game, except for one of the most significant one: What difficulty level shall we play?

This poll will be scored cumulatively. For those new to the DemoGame, cumulative scoring is used when there is a set of responses which can be ordered from biggest to smallest, earliest to latest, etc. To determine the winner of a cumulative poll, start on one end of the responses with a cumulative vote of 0. Go through each option, add its raw votes to the cumulative total, and then give that option a score of the total. The first one which has a cumulative total greater than half the number of votes cast is the winner.

This poll is public and will be opening for 2 days only, because we may want to start the game this weekend already. (And the absence of such a poll so far can be seen as an indication that people don't really care about it so much.)

Thanks for opening this! One important question, is this a binding poll according to the rules? It may not be, though we'll probably treat it like it is.

Since this is our first Civ4 Demogame, I think we should stick to the lowest challenging level.

Its binding because umm... Science is hard, and umm... Blkbird is the Minister of Science, and umm... I second that motion!:mischief: :rolleyes:

I'll leave that headache to the honorable justices. :lol:

"Lowest challenging level" according to what?

Personal preference when one votes on the poll, of course. :crazyeye:

Noble is my current "safe" level, but add +1 from combined brain power and I'd suggest Prince.

Prince is my lowest challenging level on SP. I have attempted a Monarch game and failed miserably. Prince is easily winnable given that you aren't stuck on a solo continent while being isolated from everyone else until Optics.
