Most Fun Level

[Pounder]

I know everyone always like to say what level they can beat, but what level is actually the most fun to play.

Edit: Don't you hate it when you make a mistake on a poll and can't edit it (this is not a secondary question ).

Question should read: Which Level is Really the most Fun to Play (Not Difficulty Level are You Capable of)

Demigod, but Emperor comes close. I guess I like Demigod because I'm not 100% comfortable on it, so I don't win all of the time. But I'm comfortable enough on Emperor, and I can get a little bit of challenge out of it depending on the situation.

 

[Theoden]

Emperor, because the AI is capable of doing something while it doesn't get huge advantages.

 

[Pounder]

Emperor, because the AI is capable of doing something while it doesn't get huge advantages.

I agree and on Emperor you can still make a couple of mistakes and still be able to recover. Where as above emperor you can't really make any mistakes.

 

[Zakharov]

Emperor for me too.

Below that and the game is too easy and therefore boring. Above Emperor and I have to pay so much attention to MMing that it becomes tedious.

 

[Tomoyo]

Monarch. I can do whatever I want, insane variants, etc. and still win.

 

[bed_head7]

Deity, because now if I imagine that there is a level beyond Sid that can be played, and no one else votes, it is a perfect bell curve (well, as close to perfect as we can get with a sample size this small, at least).

 

[Tomoyo]

Nah, I think you would need a vote for Sid and one for Warlord for the curve.

 

[bed_head7]

Actually, I think the bigger problem would be that Emperor has too many votes, as there is too much of a drop off between Emperor and the levels next to it.

 

[Norsk_Viking]

i like monarch or emporer, but i tried sid, and i spawned next to a barb camp

 

[Capt Buttkick]

Like Tomoyo, monarch cause I can do whatever I like there.
I can do DG, and while challenging, it isn't as much fun because of the tedious MM'ing, trading every turn and so on.

 

[thetrooper]

Monarch. I can do whatever I want, insane variants, etc. and still win.

Agreed! That's the last level you can do all the stuff.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Emperor because you can't gamble on having a very small military and buying everyone for allies, you need to WAR !

 

[Turner]

I can play emporer, but it's always a struggle to catch up. Monarch I seem to be able to do about anything. I may be behind in monarch, but I know I can catch up there. Emporer doesn't give me that, and is often too frustrating.

 

[Trotskij]

Well....Im not so good on this game. I have only been playing Chieftain and Warlord. I think Warlord is most fun. Im not usally the best but I can win sometimes......

What Turner 727 wrote.
I am able to win most of the time on emperor, but it often feels to demanding. After all, this is just a game albeit a bloody great one.

I agree as well
Anything higher than Monarch is, while winable, frequently massively hard, frustrating and nerve-jarring. I play video games to relax and enjoy myself. I get enough difficult challenges at work.

 

[citizen001]

Emperor is the most fun as it's a challenge that is winnable.

 

[Peepers]

I'd have to go with Emperor too. It seems to be the level where I can compete with the AI's advantages and be 'in the hunt', and also allow me to pull off other stunts (like controlling shipping with privateers, playing massively with espionage, arrange to take down an AI superpower, etc.) On higher levels, there are often times where the game can get away from me, and hours of play can be for naught (except a good learning experience.)

i think emperor is the most fun, because it's hard, but not frustrating and discouragin, and you have a settler factory, you can grab as much land as your opponents. i always get frustrated on diety when i get a settler farm but i get way out expanded. also, artillery is needed on emperor as you will be a bit behind and need to conquer with obselete units. on emperor, once i get replaceable parts i win, because that opens up artillery and guerillas, neither of which require strategic resources.
