Lastly, never before has the importance of securing and connecting luxury resources become so huge – yes you focused on them before, but now they need to become almost an obsession. Secondly, prior to Emperor the primary reason you stationed troops in your cities was for defense – at Emperor you need to start paying attention to the Military Police value of city garrisons. It is a habit acquired in much ‘happier’ difficulty levels. The first thing you need to get over is the natural unwillingness to use the slider. Now you will be forced to master the luxury slider.
Prior to this you could pretty much maintain a fairly ‘happy’ empire with minimal effort. The impact of this is far reaching and can confuse a Monarch player. The reasons for this are numerous, and this article is an attempt to address what you can expect in a Mon to Emp transition while also giving a few tips that will hopefully help players overcome the ‘Great Leap’.ġ content citizen: At Monarch all your new cities begin with 2 content citizens – on Emperor you start with only 1. For many players Monarch is the end point of their CIV experience – and understandably so. When you hit Emperor the AI advantages become far more pronounced – so much so, that a great number of the techniques that you mastered over the last 4 levels are no longer viable. The small AI advantages are no match for the superior human playing skills of even an average Regent player. However, once a player masters Regent he rarely has much difficulty with Monarch. In many ways Monarch is a slightly beefed up Regent, the only significant difference being the faster AI build time. The ‘move up’ I am referring to is the move from Monarch to Emperor.
There is however another ‘move up’ which many players that have reached Deity level point to as the moment when the game takes on an almost completely different feel – almost as if you were playing a different game with the same mechanics. The first few times a player faces the game on an equal footing with the AI can take some getting used to. Certainly the move from Warlord to Regent comes to ones mind. It is often debated which ‘move up’ in level is the most difficult to adjust to. Every CIV player has experienced the awkward adjustment period that occurs when they move up in difficulty level.
