Do people have any recommendations on what would be the most challenging/best AI for a Civ like game, most challenging being defined by what game is most difficult to beat with the AI playing on a difficulty level where it has no artificial advantages (like production bonuses etc)?
I haven't played Civ for a few years ago, and eventually massacring swarms of idiot AI units on Deity got old, whether I ended up winning or losing. The gameplay was predictable and basically most of the challenge was micromanaging and cheesing the AI with various strategies to make it act even more stupidly.
I know I could play multiplayer but I like to play at my own pace and set my own challenges.
