View Full Version : Tables for different ages

I recently played through a series of games starting in different ages to meet the requirement for the Rock of Ages portion of the EQM. After finising my games, I wanted to see how my games stacked up against some of the more experienced players. While looking through the tables, I could not find a way to compare my Industrial Era game against other Industrial Era games. Was this functionality intentionally left out for some reason?

I realize that games started in a later era only count for the Rock of Ages and not for other HOF QM and EQM tasks. It would be nice to see how my games stack up in different eras and to be able to look at the best games played to various victory conditions in different eras. Maybe an addition to the HOF tables is in order?

I don't see us adding to the HOF Tables for this but I might add it to the QScore query at some point.

The starting dates are different for BTS. I realized this when I saw some entries for the Future Era with a Space Race in the 1600-1800 time frame. I seem to remember that my Future Era game started in the 1980s.

I decided to run a little test.

Vanila/Warlonds starting date for Future Era

AD 1760 on Quick
AD 1812 on Normal
AD 1762 on Epic
AD 1570 on Marathon

Beyond the Sword starting date for future era

AD 1984 on Quick
AD 1980 on Normal
AD 1975 on Epic
AD 2001 January on Marathon

I'm assuming that the other eras have different starting dates as well, but I have not tested it yet. Since Q Score for the Rock of Ages is based on finish date, there is an advantage to completing the Rock of Ages on Vanila/Warlords.

Is there any way to compare games besed on the number of turns played?
