It seems Prince separates the men from the boys. If you don't have consistent and dominating victories in Noble - you're probably out of your league in Prince. The lower levels were "jumpable" when you weren't quite ready. And perhaps I've jumped too early now with Prince. I'm gonna keep...

I find the conquest, domination, and cultural victories to be the most challenging on noble and prince. The other victories just don't include the movement and interaction that I prefer. Raging barbs on huge maps becomes very tedious - I tend to just keep them at a normal level. Beating 6 to...

Yes, yes. But - can any of you heavy hitters win at the Prince level with a "conquest" or "domination" victory every time? - especially on huge map?

All of these replies have been very enlightening. PATIENCE, CREATIVITY, SPECIALIZATION, LONGER and MORE SPECIFIC RISK TAKING. My next game will be interesting. Thanks to all.

Pretty soon I think that Noble will become boring while Prince remains too hard!

I feel like I've been playing Civ for too long only to be stuck on a very medium difficulty. I look outside the box - heck there is no box. But it seems impossible that others can have success on much higher levels when I cannot acheive an encouraging loss.:confused:

Does anyone else find that Prince is about a thousand times harder than Noble? The other jumps in difficulty were not nearly so drastic. Is the jump to Monarch that exponential?

When u get to the uninstall file - instead of looking for those file numbers - try right clicking on uninstall, click "find" and type in "civ". A list of civ files should appear and you can delete them from there. I am hesitant to offer too much advice to a Vista user because I'm not familiar...

This seems to be the best way to accomplish uninstall. Be thorough and patient when trying this.

Just resolved a patch install/ uninstall issue. Had to search and delete files from registry for hours. I never play online - are these patches 1.61 and 1.74really going to improve my game experience? I don't want to risk another installation problem.:deadhorse:

This thread may be out of date. Thanks for trying.

I've been playing my generic retail cd version for years with no problems at all. I tried a patch and now I'm experiencing the same install/uninstall problems that quite a few others have mentioned. I've read and tried everything I can find on this issue. All attempts to resolve this have...
