Environmental: Difficulty level

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!

I'll leave that headache to the honorable justices.

"Lowest challenging level" according to what?

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

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.

Did anyone else realize that the result of the vote creat a perfect Bell curve?

1 7 14 7 1

Interesting.

lol

well i voted the the last 14, prince just seems the most obvious one to choose given that this is our first demogame on civ4
