After a silent period the quick games are back! In this comeback game you assume leadership of the Timurids on their glorious quest.

The Game
The year is 1000 BC.

King Timur has just completed the quick start challenge and is not satisfied. The economy needs some dramatic improvement and his declared goal is to be the primary trader among all the civs in the world. To accomplish this, however, he needs a substantial income...

The Objective
The objective of the game is to achieve a gold surplus of +100 gold/turn as soon as possible (measured at 0% science spending). Taxmen and "wealth" do not count, but gold per turn trades with other civs do. All cities must be in a content state, which means that they cannot be about to riot. The winner is the one who achieves this goal at the earliest date.

Rules:
The rules are the standard rules we use in the COTM competition.

Does this count luxury slider down to 0 as well? Or do you have to use it to gain sufficient happiness so that you do not riot?

Your cities have to be happy either thorugh luxury spending or entertainers or something else. No city is allowed to be about to riot. :)

I should probably clarify that in the rules. Too much civ4 has made me think that unhappy citizens can never be put to work... :crazyeye:

Can cities be starving?

By the way, thanks for a new quickgame:goodjob:. Seems like I had an idea for a QG a while back but I cant remember what exactly it was. If I recall I will send it!

:dubious:
Did I make this one ?

sounds excellent!!

Can cities be starving?
I actually haven't thought about that, and it's too late to disallow it... so the answer will have to be yes, cities can be starving.

I knew someone would find a shortcut to an earlier victory. ;)
Did I make this one ?
No, this is taken from my own attempt at COTM 18. I seem to remember that you had made a game though, but I must have lost it... could you resend it if you still have it? :)

You're (or AlanH) missing an "o" in download for the link.
Is building wealth at the end okay?

No, I should clarify that in the original post.

You guys are good at spotting the holes in my game setup. ;)

Picky. :p That would be AlanH. :mischief:

edit: maybe I'm blind but I can't see where it's missing...

Sorry, I've fixed it. I could have sworn I'd tested that link when I added it. I'm getting senile even faster than I thought :old:

I don't know about the error message, but I can see that your game has been submitted just fine. :)

I cleaned it up recently so there should be enough space... :hmm: Which email did you send it to?

Did you select the drop down menu option to say you retired?

I could summit without problem. :confused:

I think you were claiming to have submitted a GOTM before, but the database has no record of any submissions from you. It looks as if you have submitted OK now, though.

I don't know about the error message, but I can see that your game has been submitted just fine. :)

quickgame X gotm.civfanatics.net
That's the correct one. But I just realised that all the deleted mails had to be deleted twice to make them disappear completely. So there should be enough space now. :)

Did you select the drop down menu option to say you retired?
It lists ThERat's submission as retired in the database, so that's not the problem.

sorry to cause that confusion...wanted initially to submit as finished game, when I followed the tips to submit as retired, it worked :goodjob:

That's the correct one. But I just realised that all the deleted mails had to be deleted twice to make them disappear completely. So there should be enough space now. :)re-retried :)

I think I submitted it correctly...

Yep! We have your submission :) Welcome :wavey:

We are just having some technical problems with the results publisher. Shouldn't take too long. :)
