From the possible choices: Monarch.

(I do not think a higher level would put people out of the game, but I can be

wrong).

Best regards,

 

[jimkatalanos]

I don't mind.

 

[LordOgre]

i voted Prince so that the AI would be on the same level, no need to get more challenge since we have enough with the political discussions.

 

[Furius]

I've never played the game successfully above noble, so I think in monarch I would feel uncomfortable about offering an opinion...

 

[ordinaryguy]

never played noble or more difficult before, so I think noble would be best. Otherwise, I might feel uncomfortable participating.

Don't, the first Civ III demogame I participated in was on monarch level I believe, when I was still playing Noble.

By participating you will help to improve your own skills as you watch other people discuss strategy. You give in your opinion, and you might be surprised that people will actually listen to you.

Even those who play lower difficulties have something to contribute. Your weaknesses might be micromanaging production over an entire empire. However, you still could contribute to general military strategy, or research. Or improve your own micromanaging skills via a governorship, where you only have a few cities to keep track of. And even then you have the resources of all the other citizens here.

ok then, but I still support noble.

That's fine, so long as you're still willing to participate if we play a slightly higher difficulty level.

 

[TheAmerican]

Prince is a fair compromise between Noble, and Monarch.

 

[Macha]

If that's the case you would have said Noble if it had been Prince,Noble and the one below noble.

 

[Chieftess]

While I can play above Noble, I think Noble might be good for a demogame. It's a safe enough level that will allow for the occasional mistake.

 

[potatokiosk]

I would prefer Monarch, although I would also be satisfied with Prince. I think a group of people working together can handle a challenge.

 

[chessplayer]

Noble is better for noobs like us

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

I vote Noble, that's the one where the AI and human are equal right?

 

[ordinaryguy]

No problem

 

[dutchfire]

So we'll play prince?

 

[ordinaryguy]

So we'll play prince?

I guess so. Majority wins this time, though I would prefer noble.
