    Smile Play Now?

    What exactly does the option PLAY NOW (at the beginning) do? How is it any differnet than Single Player?

    you skip the difficulty page.....so you enter the game 2 secs earlier

    Yeah, this feature seems pretty pointless to me. I never use it because I can never remember what difficulty I played on last time anyway, and the civ selection screen doesn't tell you. I wish it did.

    Maybe this feature was in place when they had more customizable features?

    play now starts you on king, the "normal" level. that's all it means, to my knowledge. i'll double check.

    I know I've posted this elsewhere, but for me Play Now only ever starts on Chieftain difficulty. I know it's Chieftain because I start out with the city already settled, 1 warrior, and those annoying tutorial messages.

    As per the manual (if anyone cared to read it):

    "Play Now
    This will start a new game using the same difficulty settings as the last game you played. It skips directly to the 'Select Your Civilization' menu."

    That's what it's meant to do. However, it still screws up for me, no matter what difficulty my last game was.
