Yeah, actually I'm playing a "fun" game on regent, as France.
By now, only the Babs are not in awe of French's culture. I'm working on it. :D
 
i win 75% on regent and sometimes do chieftan to watch the ai suffer
 
I do not share your point of view as I do not have fun (anymore) playing chieftain, where is the fun if you do not scare ?
I just won my first game at emperor, will try again a few more games before stepping into Diety.
But like dojobo wrote, I may try one cheiftain game to attempt a space race victory.
 
for the first two months, I played on Chieftain exclusively. After building up some skills I made the switch to Warlord and found it to be much more entertaining. When season 4 (tournament) was announced, I decided it was time to step it up again to Regent. After playing through season 4 in the regular division and winning every game by the right victory condition, I am Making the jump to Monarch.

For some fun and slaughter, I may load up a game at Warlord, but that is not likely.

PS: If you just wanna kick some butt, check out game 4-5 in the tournament thread. It is sooooo much fun.
 
I don't know about "never will I do such a childish act", but I certainly wouldn't play Civ 3 on Chieftain. It's just, like, "there goes 10 hours of my life I'll never have again".

I'm surprised that so many people (over 40% at time of writing) play at Chieftain level some of the time - no disrespect intended, but isn't it just so unchallenging as to be wasting your time ?
 
Yeah pretty much. But I still played a chieftain OCC recently just to kill a few hours (think it took me 3) when I felt a desperate need to procrastinate.

I always play chieften because i always get shafted with bad land.
I mean in my last huge map game I only got horses and oil naturally. I had to conquest everything else.
Additionally china got put in a virtual garden of eden with no opponents and i get shoved in a shoebox with three other civs...
ARRRGGGH!
That's why I play chieften, to avoid insanity.
 
I started on Chieftan and have gradually worked my way up. I just won my first Monarch game last night (I was stuck on Regent for awhile). Why go back?
 
Regent has become my easy level, and it's about to become monarch.

I used to like messing around and making cool seeming empires, but one day it hit me how boring that was so now I only play things that can at least offer SOME challange (regent).
