KING: Your rivals are most evenly matched with you in
capability. Experienced and skilled players will play most of their
games at this level as it is a strong challenge with victory far from
foregone.

EMPEROR: This is the most difficult level and only for those who
feel the need to be humbled. This level can be won, but not
consistently.


LEVEL OF COMPETITION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Choose between 3 and 7 civilizations in the world. More
opponents is not necessarily more dangerous. The fewer your opponents,
the more time you have to peaceably expand and develop before
encountering rivals. More opponents means earlier contact and the risk
of war. But contact with other civilizations offers the opportunities of
trade, alliances, and the spoils of war.


THE GAME TURN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CIVILIZATION is played in a series of turns, each following a
sequence of play options. As each turn proceeds through the sequence,
you direct the activities of your civilization, including the management
of your cities, the production of new units, the building of city
improvements, the movements and battles of your armies, and negotiations
with other civilizations.
