Deity
Damn, didn't even catch that OP wasn't playing above Prince! That makes the 1400 hrs even more impressive, really...I haven't played V in a while but I don't remember ever feeling challenged on Prince!
But my question to you all is.. are you guys ready to move on?
...But do people even want Civ 6? Would you guys buy it?
Why are you still playing on Prince ?
I've almost reach my saturation point with Civ5. Just last night I had free time and could have played a save or started a new game but just didn't have the desire. Would I buy 6 ? Absolutely...unless the demo leaves me with the same feeling that Beyond Earth left me with...
Am I ready for 6 now ? No. I'd prefer a break. Once I've gotten 5 completely out of my system I'd like a couple of months to recharge. If they release this time next year I'll be ready.
With 5 I waited until G&K to purchase. Not sure if I'll wait again or jump right in with vanilla.
Why play on Deity ? If the answer is "because I enjoy it", wonderful. OP has played and enjoyed thousands of hours of Prince play. Its clear OP is a sandbox player. If the AI would produce more troops on King, I wouldn't have ventured beyond King other than to be able to say "I can beat Deity". Well, more troops and a coherent strategy...but thats a topic for another day.
Point is OP has gotten a lot of enjoyment out of Prince. OP and Civ5 on Prince won.
I tried to play both Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis only to come to conclusion I should go back to Kindergarden, the learning curve is really hard in Paradox games.

My best guess is actually developing a civ like a RPG character by adding social policies, religious beliefs, wonders, etc. on top of the initial Unique Attributes of that civ. In other words going wild when selecting SPs and tech order, beliefs, etc instead of doing the optimal development. Is that correct, or am I totally off?
I agree with the OP stance on the level of difficulty. I find a good balance at King. I feel like developers don't give the AI the right types of advantages and it distorts gameplay and takes you out of the universe. All of a sudden your doing equations to figure out if it's optimal to chop the forest or hold off for the log mills later. It's just a drag.
