I just submitted an entry to the Hall of Fame, and when I view it under "My Submissions", the data is wrong.
For instance, it says I played as Cyrus, when in fact I played as Catherine. It also says I finished in 1620, when in fact I finished in 1625.
Its entry #152, if anyone cares. Something seems really funky, though.

I'll take a look. Taelis mentioned the HOF submission system reported Cyrus when he played as Catherine as well. I think the finish year is a PBKAC (Problem Between Keyboard And Chair ;)). The replay clearly says "Blue has won a Space Race Victory!!! Time spent: 3 hours, 25 minutes" in 1620AD. The file you submitted is 1625AD, but that's the turn AFTER victory!

Yeah, I actually thought of that about 10 seconds after I posted. I was under the impression that you build stuff and gain tech at the BEGINNING of each turn, rather than the END of the turn.
If turns start by building stuff, then I finished the space ship at the beginning of 1625.. but if turns end by building stuff, then I built it at the end of 1620.
Hm. Is there an actual answer here, or is it just semantics?

I think you shouldn't argue if the HOF says you finished the turn before you expected :mischief:.
