The people making these "Game of the month"s would like you to submit your final save. They put a lot of work into making this friendly competition possible, and it makes their jobs more meaningful if there are many submissions and players that are having fun with the games they prepare.

Yes, that is correct, with the possible exception of fallout. I cannot remember how fallout interacts with settling, and I cannot test it now.

The announcement page says "with the BUFFY mod version 3.19.003 installed." But the game seems to require the BUFFY mod version 3.19.005.

Doesn't seem to be correct. I get to the download page, but when I try to download the game, I get: "Sorry, file civ4botm136contender.CivBeyondSwordSave is not available."

Ingame settings says map is "Toroidal" (under Victory conditions/Settings). EDIT: Corrected spelling.

The link in the first post to the starting page is wrong (points to game number 116 instead of 120). For reference, the correct link is: http://gotm.civfanatics.net/civ4games/index.php?month=70120

I hope I'm not doing anything wrong here, but using the download link from GOTM 123 and changing to 124 gave me a file to download: http://gotm.civfanatics.net/download.php?file=civ4gotm124contender.Civ4SavedGame EDIT: While that gave me a file to download, I was not able to open it. It gave...

I owe you all an apology. When I accepted Gumbolt's invite, I had forgotten the level of involvement needed (and I underestimated my regular work load). I have been a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information to read to keep up to date on our progress, and I have not been able to make any...

Sorry, has been busy since last Monday training a team and then following them to a competion. Got back this Monday and needed a day to catch up on regular work. I could play my turn now, or after yyeah since he's more up to speed on how the game is going. I just began reading up on our...

The plan was me playing next, but I have a warning. I am gone for a whole week and will not really be able to do much until after November 9th, unfortunately. It will be a long wait, so if we want to move on vefore that, I suggest someone else take this turnset and I can take next.

Plan until IW looks good to me. (Not sure if the plan involves scouting cow with a warrior since there seems to be some contradicting posts about it. I think we can afford scouting (and possibly loosing) with one warrior (at most two). We do need a few warriors for other purposes.)

And I agree, settling this GG is probably the better option. At the moment we don't have an offensive army anyway, and having him settling improves our army as we build them instead. We will get another later. And the science bonus is also useful for us at this point.

I our current situation I also think IW should be our next tech, and then be ready to settle our 4th city when we also know where iron is. How do you feel about sending out some scouting warriors? They are not very useful anymore, and half our gpt cost is unit upkeep. I would like to explore...

This looks good to me, too. Just make sure to double-check that we have Archery in two turns for this to work. :) Finish farm sounds good. I think this crucial turnset is well in your hands, elite. Let hope for the very best; than he doesn't declare on us and is going somewhere else. I feel...

OK, I wrote that comment before I even got to the more pressing matters. Wow. A wounded but very dangerous stack that might be heading towards us. Not sure if I can add anything that you havn't already said and analyzed, not right away at least. Need to think.
