I'm just curious what difficulty level you like the most (short explanation would be a nice addition). I noticed that few such polls already exist but they are rather outdated.
I played prince, monarch and emperor. Emperor was a total mistake, monarch - too much non-compatible with my gameplay (also the jump from prince is rather big) and prince - maybe a bit too easy but still the best.
On prince I can play like I enjoy the most. I don't have to follow strict "strategy", I don't even have to specialize cities (I never liked this idea at all, my cities can focus on certain category, but are usually rather universal). And I'm not playing to "win". I'm only enjoying playing. So "winning" is not the goal.
