Emperor, but the Mini Tourney IV is probably my last game I play here... it's getting too easy. Deity is quite intimidating, which is why I haven't tried it yet. But unlike others I play each level until I'm bored, and can win in every situation. Changing to the next then means that each time it is a completely other game, that you know little about.

One problem, though, going back a level is not possible without being bored silly, I tried Monarch a few games back, and had to quit after an hour because the game was essentially won... all the ancient wonders, ~20 times the culture as the second in place, half of all cities in existence... no fun at all

I suck... Regent. However, lately I'm defeating it, switched some strategies, did stuff, and after two or three more wins on Regent I'll go for Monarch.

I voted regent but with standard rules, large map and with any starting position (even without fresh water some times).
I voted emperor and I play with standard rules. On deity I'll restart if the position sucks (but I dont play it often).
