Uh. I'm pretty rubbish at Civ. I have been ever since I started playing Civ 2 back in the day. So Noble or lower if I can't be bothered.

Monarch. It means the game is challenging but to a point where the AI doesn't receive an obscene bonus and isn't to the point that it's researching tech 3 x fast than you.

Warlords and BTS: SP prince or monarch, though it is heavily dependant upon having good city sites near where you start.
Warlords MP (we found the BTS AI was a bit too dumb): my brother and I can win (50% of the time) with us as a team and both on monarch, against 3 teams of 2 AIs. Sometimes the AI is pretty bad - it has massive military and tech advantages but instead goes for a space race victory. That just let us stuff up our economies going for a cultural victory and failing by 20 turns... If they invaded us it would have been all over much much faster.
I'd recommend the Dune mod, and the Three Kingdoms mod if you like Chinese history.

Re: What difficulty level do you play Civ IV on?
THanks for the advice guys. I've got one more question, though; I'm playing BTS and I clicked on something that rendered all military units invisible on the map. They can still be selected and moved, but I can't see them, nor can I find which button to hit to make it so I can see them. What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks.

Re: What difficulty level do you play Civ IV on?
Coincidentally, I just picked this up recently and I've been enjoying it a lot. Started and quit about 10 different games before I got the hang of city development and how to actually fight with any level of success. Messed around with the different map types too.
I have a nice game on noble now and just managed to wipe out another civ for the first time. Playing on epic speed, standard map size, pangea. How much harder are the other levels? And what map size/speed etc do you like best?
Re: What difficulty level do you play Civ IV on?
Each difficulty level is a noticable jump up from the previous one, with the Prince -> Monarch jump being extra-large. Generally, move to a higher difficulty when you know you're win 90%+ of your games on that difficulty level.
Large/Epic is my preference, but occassionally I'll get myself dug in for a Huge/Marathon. I'm a huge fan of multi-continent maps though. My favorite map scripts are Fractal, Big and Small, Medium and Small, and Hemispheres. For shorter battle-map style games, I'm fond of Inland Sea. That said, thanks to Psycho's post above, I've started playing with the fan-made PerfectWorld2 script, and it's my new favorite (harder than OOB scripts though).
