What level are you playing on

[zurichuk]

of course with conquests just around the corner, it seems a return to RON unlikely now for a while, although mrs zurichuk enjoys a team game or two over the LAN (in this case we play 2 v 2 v 2, one easy, one moderate, as she likes to build up a massive army and blitz them at the end). Shame she doesn't like Civ

i can do a tough 1v1 i can beat tougher+toughest if i rush the comp but if i dont rush .... playing conquer the world on tough 2v1 and i was owned

 

[1wheel]

I can do tougher on custom diplomcy, but on thoughest I get slaghterd.

 

[BearsRulez]

On moderate doses for now...

Having difficulty on tough level. Seems to me there a major AI advantage between moderate and tough levels. Couldnt even last till beyond the first 2 ages on tough.

I play on tough, because that's where you and the AI are on an equal playing field.

 

[LLXerxes]

Easiest.
I just got the game

 

[kamleungc]

If I can hold off the thoughest for about 45mins, I can win it.
Well...it's just too rare.

 

[E-Honda]

Tougher...I have some saved games that seem to be stalemates.
Much easier to defend and win a Wonder victory though. Defend coastlines from ships with attack heal and watch for incoming transports.
On scattered islands it is more difficult to win a military victory though.
But its definately worth the challenge.

 

[Roso]

Easy. I play it only when I get tired of civ3, so I don't spend much time on playing it

 

[Flintlock]

Tougher
(I am, however, cheating abit I never let the two most powerful AIs join in an alliance, am playing the game on Very slow/expensive techs as the Americans and with my own poplimit mod )

 

[covok48]

I play campaigns on easiest since Empire Earth ruined my taste for tough campaign scenarios. I also can learn what all the buildings and units do and control the games at my own pace. I don't have much time to play the game anyway, so it saves me a whole lot of time too.

For custom maps and multiplayer games I play on tough and generally the computer mops the floor with me on sea battles, but I can crush them on land.

 

[[AoI]Smeagol]

Toughest. I just beated USA with lakota on amazon rainforest.

 

[Grohan]

Easy. Even though it's pretty easy, AI sometimes puts up decent fight so I haven't tried higher difficulty levels yet.

 

[dojoboy]

Some months ago, I was winning 1v1 diplo games on tough. Just started playing again a week ago, and warming up for tough by playing 1v1v1 diplo games on moderate.

 

[Damnyankee]

I always play on Tough and always win, about to go to tougher.

 

[Cilpot]

I always win on tougher.

I have beaten toughest a couple of times, but lost most games on this level.

 

[MrRats]

Easiest.
And owning

 

[LordTerror]

On CTW, I have beaten tough. After beating 3-4 capitals, it becomes really easy to win with so many resources. If I remember correctly, I played as the Germans, and I was able to take a capital every single turn.

I rarely play this game anymore except with my brother. On multiplayer, we can beat 2v6 on moderate (rushing 2, making it like a 4v4) and 2v2 on toughest (rushing 1, making it like a 3v1).

 

[gimhalos]

I haven't played in about a year... just wondered over here from the Civ forums... but when I did play tough was becoming pretty easy, I did okay at tougher in 1v1.... I probably couldn't beat easy now though ^^

 

[gatomarado]

Well when i started i thougth "easy" was hard. Some weeks later the AI of the game was already studied and "thougher" was much easier than the "easy" the first time i played.

BTW the "P" keyboard key is very helpfull.
