immortal.
Since that option was missing i checked emperor which is about as low as it gets for me with civs i don't like so much (please pay attention when setting up polls. It shouldn't be that hard and that one could be an interesting poll.
Here you took out one of the likely very popular options (on par with the other 4 "populated" crowds here) since its the top for many of the more experienced players who dislike deity because its not real funny to play on that level very often. Or only with lots of reloads...)

Deity, I like to loose games at least as often as (if not more than) I win, otherwise their really isn't a challenge element in the game, no element of surprise. Deity does a pretty good job of that. With some civs I have a very high success rate. With others I've never come close to a win, though I've tried.

i chose monarch but didnt touch FFH until today.

Emperor
Monarch for now, but it seems I will be moving up shortly. The problem is, I was unable to finish a game in Monarch, due to unrecoverable CtDs, so far. However, I am pretty sure that I would have won all 5 Games if the Ctd wouldn't appear...As soon as I finish a clear win, I will change difficulty

Monarch - I don't like really unfair games.
It's not that I can't beat deity, it's just boring, as the early game consists of nothing but warrior-spams. Boring. Besides, you know you won't lose to cultural or space race, so you have all the time you want as long as you are not actually crushed, which is quite unlikely. I have yet to see someone program an AI that pulls off a cultural victory on me in FFH2 (translation: I want to see one).

i agree with sylvan 100%.
not just FFH but civ in general, i want diety AI to be better AI, to be smarter. not loaded up with handicaps that make the game all but unplayable. but an AI that is as good as a diety.

Most ppl who respond to this want be players of warlord or lower cause they don't want to explain why they play at such a level , and those that play higher are more than willing to brag of their achievements (humm maybe player level should be a trophy, one for each level)
That being said I believe most ppl play on noble or warlord level simply because they prefer a basic game without all the headaches of time consumption. If you have less time to play a game then a casual game of a few hours on warlord can be fun. I sure do miss the college days when a full time work load was 15 hours. 40+ hours of real life working and family can kill a good Diety game. When I am in the mood for Diety I have been known to take paid leave (its nice to work for the government), send kids to daycare, let the wife go to her job and pound an 8 hour shift and hope to finish the game before they all come home
... Nope no epic marathon large maps for me...

I usually play increasing difficulty starting from emperor, so I'm not forced into an early warrior rush to compensate for the extra settler, but most of the game is on Deity with the bonuses to AI research, happy and health that come with it. If not increasing difficulty, I win about 90% of starts on Immortal and 40% on Deity, so Immortal is my level even though I played Deity exclusively before the increasing difficulty option. (What's the fun of winning all the time?)

This is not about bragging. This is about the common quest of the 21st century human being for ever-improving AI, whether it be in the realm of serious work or casual gaming. And no, you don't need to sit in for 8 hours, because you could always play for half an hour each night for a month. Besides, you can't finish a deity game in 8 hours. Additionally, ever since the new revamped tech costs, I can no longer beat deity ever again. I simply cannot reach the advanced techs I need in time anymore.

8 hours can get you far enough to be bored on a large map, normal speed. I prefer monarch because I dont feel the 30% production bonus the AI gets is too much to beat. I am thinking of bumping to emperor since goody huts started acting like Santa Claus though. My first game, I just thought I was lucky, then I figured the new patch made dungeons and goody huts really easy, and well worth the risk. So much so I get a giant jump start every time. :/
