Highest level you've beaten?

[SirJethro]

Okay...time to be honest. Using STANDARD RULES, NO CHEATING, what is the highest level you've beaten? Games modified in any way do not count (it is too hard to evaluate what throws the game out of balance).

From the results of the Deity GOTM....I'm not expecting to see the majority of people beating Deity right now.

 

[SirJethro]

I meant to add a poll to this. Too late.

ok so I suck

deity. but it's hard, and I fail often enough.

 

[SirJethro]

Monarchy for me. I started a Diety game once, but got tired of it in the Ancient age. You really do have to micro manage to win.

I was so proud of my first Monarchy conquest win. I flew right to the website....I was certain I had a HOF candidate. Missed it by 2,000 points. I'd love to have a separate HOF that had no milking involved. It would be nice to see where I stand.

About to win my 6th Deity-game..
In the "beginning", when playing on Emperor I throught Deity was IMPOSSIBLE.. The AI would always devellop 4 times as fast as I could. After trying and failing some times, I discovered the way however, and I find Deity quite easy now

I have only attempted Regent level, and have not lost a game I have started yet.

 

[Jimcat]

I stick to Regent these days. Now that I have a full-time job (not to mention a marriage) to attend to, I can't spend 48 hours at a stretch perfecting my Civ strategies, so I just play for enjoyment. Regent gives me an appropriate level of challenge for the time and energy I have to spend.

I've got a fulltime-job ( 110% of full-time actually ).
I'm at work right now.. and what do I do? I play civ3!!
I actually play more at work than at home, and I play alot at home

 

[ozmodiar]

Emperor

I usually play monarch though.

 

[Bill_in_PDX]

Emperor

I too usually play at Monarch or Regent

 

[Catt]

I've beaten Deity (and lost a lot too ), but tend to have more fun on Emeperor and Monarch, so I usually play one or the other.

 

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Regent is the highest for me. I think I'm ready to beat Monarch but haven't had the time to play lately.

 

[Gastric ReFlux]

I've beaten Emperor, but have never played a Deity game, even though I can spell deity correctly.

 

[kb2tvl]

I can win on emperor with any religious civ... well I have not won with babs yet but their next!

Diety is beyond my skills right now but I hope to be there soon.

Lucky you. I had a job like that once. Can't get away with it in my current office.

I just beat Emperor on my first try and I haven't finished any deity games. They get really boring and I quit'em. I know they are supposed to look hopeless early on and you're not supposed to ever quit, but it still isn't fun yet.

In the GOTM, I gifted the AI about ten techs in one turn to bring him into the industrial age, then they wouldn't trade me nationalism for steam power. Ungrateful!

 

[Snaproll]

I also have beaten Emperor but not Deity. Only tried Deity once (in that GOTM) and I didn't finish... Tough starting position for my first Deity game wasn't fun. I am doing well on Emperor though, so maybe it's time to try it again!

 

[wohmongarinf00l]

emperor...

trying a few deity games

Deity win x all civ's. I usually play emperor, tho.

Before the GOTMs I would play as each civ one by one, increasing the difficulty level by level.

I was typically frustrated by how slowly I progressed on Deity relative to the other CIVs until I started reading the forum and saw the advantages the AI is given in each level.
