Which level of difficulty will you use in your first game

Support Apolyton

Here is what I have gatherd about the difficulty levels in Civ 3:

Chieftain: The game cheats for the player more
Warlord: The game cheats for the player
Prince: The AI & player have the same benifits
King: The game cheats for the AI
Emperor: The game cheats for the AI more
Deity: The game cheats for the AI even more

Personally i will choose Prince since the it is the most 'fair' level of play, but i will proberly come back to chieftain to see if i have missed anything from the in-game tutorial.

I am going to try it out on Diety and if I make it past the 10th round the games sucks more than Vacsuck, the Estonian vacuum cleaner.

More likely I will play it on Chifitian so I can try out the new options.

I'm going with warlord. I don't need a brain-dead AI (Chieftain).. Just one retarded enough to allow me to make errors with the new interface.

I plan to only play on Deity. I plan to avodi reading about strategies on this board and I plan not to go out of my way to find holes in the AI. Combine this with the fact that nobody at Firaxis has beaten Civ III on Deity. The game should end up being extremely challenging for me and I should be in for many a$$ kickings.

In any game I buy, I always start at the easiest level to get a feel for the mechanics and how it works before trying harder levels. Yeah, I know...we all know the basics of Civ...but it IS a new game, still. So I will start with Chieftan and go from there.

Cheers.

Is this true (or part of the hype )?

Still:

i) That's what they said about deity in Civ II at the time ("impossible")

ii) I doubt deity against the AI in Civ III comes even close to MP in Civ II. If you can play Civ II against humans (and survive for some time or even win), you must be able to play the AI at deity in Civ III

That being said, you'll need to get into the basics, of course.
