I still play at Prince & King a lot -- trying to build all the Wonders. If I can get all of the Ancient WOWs, the "game" is effectively over, so I'll start another one.
I usually play at the diety level, but occasionally, for a changeup, I will play at warlord or prince. It is kinda fun to play the lower levels and not have to worry about happiness and barbarians with their 125% "bonus".
I prefer emperor (yes that one vote up there is mine), only because deity can be so patently unfair! Emperor is challenging enough while not being as outrageous.
I enjoy emperor the most. Deity requires more micromanaging than I want to do, king is too easy. Usually I give myself poor starting spots to up the challenge a bit.
The only time I play civ at a lower level than Deity is if it's a MP game, and my opponent won't play at that level.
I've played Civ II at Deity from my first game...
I always start playing games at the hardest level possible from the beginning... I don't want to learn any bad habits
I play King. Just enough of a challenge yet not as much micro-managment as Emperor. Not that I dis-like micro-managment, I just find it time-consuming.
Why did this poll close?!? Oh well, I usually play Deity or emporer but not lately. It's been a few months and I am really rusty and have forgotten some tactics. Lately, I have played some King. Chieftain is fun to play as the turks in the WW2 scenario. I conquer the axis by 1950 usually!!
