Like Chad said, one of the main reasons I don't like Civ at higher difficulties is that it seems to give the CPU bonuses, thus leaving you at a disadvantage. Just seems a really cheap way of increasing difficulty. Having said that, I know I'm playing it too easy, I'm only playing my 3rd game though. I've messed with all the time settings so it plays a fair bit longer now, I can produce units within a couple or so turns but tech takes about 15 turns on average. Makes the game play a lot better IMO, you actually get to use those specialist units without them becoming obsolete after 5 turns.
