Difficulty You Play on The Most

[drkodos]

Deity is my favorite. I like an uphill battle because I thrive under that kind of challenge. Plus you pick up the game quicker because you are forced to act rather than think.

Do you play it "straight" or do you contrive all the settings to make game more favorable?

Just wondering.

I play it straight, no advantages, I play it as it comes. This setting isnt usually about winning so much as its about losing with dignity. Peace is rarely an option as most civs are already far advanced. Will generally start wars with you just for taking up space. So the question is how to handle fending off an advanced empire that learns new techs faster,produces units faster,expands faster at such a rate that you could never keep up. Any favorable settings would take away from the experience.
