What difficulty should we play?

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

Well ,what difficulty do you prefer?

edit: Other cabinet's ,feel free to post poll's on wich civilization to chooses ,map size etc. as i have some work to do right now.

 

[eyrei]

The poll needs to be edited. Prince should be regent, and regent should be monarch.

 

[Shaitan]

Diety is my favorite, despite the fact that I generally get the snot beaten out of me. I voted Emperor as that's the level I can expect to win on. With the large amount of micromanagment and assistance provided by a committee play style, this should be a challenge but one we will succeed at.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Eyrei's right. I suggest regent which is the average level, to start things off.

updated.

So ,can you hold the other poll's?

Give me a few minutes. I'll prepare the civ thread.

I voted Emperor, because that's the Difficulty that is Hard but still beatable for me, would take Deity if the Step to Deity from Emperor wasn't that big.

 

[eyrei]

The only problem I have with emperor, is that we may get crushed very early from a poor starting spot, and hordes of Zulu impi that they start with. My vote is for monarch.

 

[Cyc]

i'm with knight-dragon. the middle of the playing field.

 

[Pggar]

I voted for emperor, as a lot of people here seems to have beaten the AI at that already.
If we get crushed at the begginig we can always start a new game. So that's not a big deal.
The important thing is to have a good challenge
Regent is not one since it's too easy, for most people here.

Suggestion: after the closing of this poll, a new one should be opened with the two most voted options. I think that is more fair. Otherwise even if the majority of people wants to play in a level under emperor, the poll might make we play in the emperor level.

Emperor is winnable from nearly any start, with good play. A bad deity start can pretty well doom you. Playing Monarch or easier with this level of micromanagement is a pointless exercise, IMO.

[Black Fluffy Lion]

the average level, as Cyc and Knight-Dragon have said

 

[Mr Spice]

Voted regent as well. That way we make it easer for not-so-experienced palyers to participate in the government. If we choose a higher level some people will probably think they are not up to the task, even though they have lots to contribute with.

 

[Shaitan]

I don't think there's going to be any need to repoll on this one. Emperor, Monarch and Regent are the only ones that have received a vote so if we repoll with the top three it will turn out exactly the same. Take the happy medium - Monarch.

 

[Cyc]

sounds like a plan, shaitan. let's go for it. one down, how many more to go?

 

[Daaraa]

I voted monarch because just about anyone can win on regent no matter what the civ as long as you know what your doing. So I went with monarch as it was the middle of the road.

 

[Grey Fox]

Yes Shaitan is right, let's go for Monarch.

The point about the demo game is all the micromanagement, all the discussions, voting, comradely talk etc.

I am not even particularly interested in winning, truth to tell.

Make it too difficult, well less people will join or feel they can participate, which in turn will defeat the point about a democracy game.
