Looking at the COTM pantheon of heroes (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/pantheon/index.php?table=cotm_awards.php) prior to this month, you may have seen three people who only needed a single award to complete the pantheon - and you may have asked who would be first. Well, you'd need to look past these names, to the names of those requiring two more awards to win.

By picking-up both the 100k cultural as well as the cow award in the same game, Obormot artfully leap-frogged the rest to register the 5th COTM eptathlon award in the GOTM. It was especially interesting / amusing to see him claim here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3802472&postcount=2):

I don't think i'll ever complete mine. Should have done the boring stuff (100K and cow) before civ4 was out But we'll see how it goes. Remember folks, that was only 2 1/2 weeks before he submitted his eptathlon-winning game! ;)

A fantastic effort, Obormot! Well done!

Well done indeed :thumbsup:.
And a cunning ploy, to win late with a non-histo VC. Now that it is feasible to pick up awards by being the only player in a category, I guess we should see all milk runs doing this. I should have thought of it myself when I got the moo in the Spanish game - there was no 100k submission for that game!

It was just a matter of time for you, Obermot. And indeed those two goals tend to be time consuming!

This is where the person has won the COTM or GOTM in all the 7 various winning strategies those being (Diplomatic, Space Ship, Historograph (Cow, as in milking the game for the victory), Conquest, Domination, 100k Cultural and 20k One city cultural.
