Trying out the new version, and I'm definitely feeling the change in the difficulty handicap. It's currently turn 124 (Emperor difficulty), and I'm already 4 techs ahead of everyone else I've met, and at the top of scores in most of the categories. And there's still a religion left to be founded. So far it's feeling easier than most King games I've played. It remains to be seen whether the AI can catch up later on.
