i have really no idea.... i m still a noobie anywayz..... in the start of the game... my opponment has 2 town already + archers and workers.. etc etc.. but me... just have one time... building my first worker.... any ideas how to fasten this??

What level are you playing? The Ai gets free units at the beginning on harder levels (1 workrs on monarch, 2 on immortal etc)

i c.... im playing the diety level...

Hmmm...in that case I can't help you, as I'm only worthy for noble-prince level. The Ai gets a free settler on deity, as well as additional tech, units etc which makes them a few centuries ahead of the player.

ok..... tanx.... ill just play prince difficulty from now on.. :)

as noob, you shouldn't play deity, try settler instead.

All I can say is even when you were a pro at former CIV games where you beat the highest difficulty levels it is best to start at noble again with part IV. In my first game I got my ass handed to me because there were too many things I didn't understand. Now starting at a much higher level where the AI gets so much extra advantages is a real challenge so I guess you did the right thing and went back to prince level which is a very good challenge.

I'd agree that if you've played previous versions of Civ noble would probably be the level to start. If you're completly new to civ then start with tutorial and have a game at settler. If that's too easy go up to warlord to get used to the basics. Higher levels are obviously tougher and it can be disheartening to start on a losing streak.

Lol, I hope you don't play the way you write. Just start with settler difficulty.:goodjob:

I started at settler and went up. To be precise i played the demo then moved up a level. Played one game on each up to monarchy and settled. Mind you i did a lot of forum reading before playing. Get the start right and your game play follows.

If you've played a lot of Civ games before, (Civ 1, 2 or 3) or you're very good at strategy games, start at Noble. Otherwise, I would suggest Settler.

Jokks, I've been playing this game for six months, and I have trouble on Monarch - I would be slaughtered on Diety. No wonder you're having trouble, that's the single hardest difficult level! Knock it down to at least Noble, then give it a shot, K? It's a fun game, you just need to find what level you're good at, then work your way up.

Wait, are you guys saying that the game is very hard when you set it to the hardest difficulty level? WTF was Firaxis thinking, I want a game that's easy on the hardest level and hard on the easiest, I'm returning my copy today.

I found Settler a hindrance-better of starting at warlord or something.
