Who plays most games on Emperor and up?

[The Rook]

Question for those who play at elite levels: I noticed that nobody posted plays the standard map size, standard speed and the default number of civs.

Is it considered harder or easier to player larger maps, slower speeds and more civs?

I play standard maps, normal speed, default civ number (Immortal level at the moment).

Generally difficulty rises as the map size increases, but the game gets easier when the speed decreases. If you want an easy Deity win, try the Incas on the smallest map at marathon speed with one AI.

I have never played at any level other than Emperor. Now that it has become pretty easy, I think it is time to scope out the higher levels. Unfortunately, I don't think that I have the discipline. I just click the mouse instead of planning. I don't even make dotmaps.

I've tried a little immortal but it just doesn't seem to be much fun. Proof of my lazy ways, I suppose.
