Cyrus of Persia on Monarch looks hard to beat!

Why was Immortal and Deity levels omitted from the Conquest Victory Game for HoF Challenge Series III?

I asked this same question in the Challenge Series III discussion thread, but I don't recall seeing any answer to it.

Thanks,

Try adding Prince and you will see that Sitting Bull may be hard to beat:

Good luck! I will probably skip Conquest entirely since Deity entries will not be accepted for some reason. Maybe not enough data for a turn offset to be computed for Deity.

Difficulty: Noble thru Emperor

There's no Adjustment entry for Noble. Presumably, it is the basis for all the others, thus:

Adjustment:
Turns
Noble 0
Prince -11
Monarch -40
Emperor -56


In my opinion, it may help clarify the Adjustment table to include the level its based on (Noble in this case).
