For me Civ IV emperor is a challenge. Like I said before I haven't played a lot of civ IV certainly not when compared to the time I invested in Civ III. What triggers me when reading your post however is the remark about the military win. Might be my problem, I hardly aim for anything else in my single player games.
Deity on civ V will be my next game. Gonna put the large ICS game on hold for a while cause I'm bored out of my mind with it. Feels more as work than as a game. Planning to finish it one day though. Want to do a space ship vic with it so I get 3 achievements at once.
Thanks for the heads up about hattrick, totally forgot.Tried to accept but Hat is down till 11 for maintenance. Will log in immediately and accept when up again.
