I submitted quite a few games, but my best was only 1398 AD. I typically went for 3 commerce cities (so 6 total), but often was missing one essential ingredient. Either I would miss marble or stone (less critically), or 1 or 2 of my culture cities wouldn't have enough food and or hammers to...

The title states Darius, but the Civ states Egypt. I would assume Egypt is correct, but can you please clarify and correct? Thanks.

Hi Noble Zarkon, I'm a bit confused regarding my games. I played all three of my games (2 with Arabia and one with the Vikings) with the beta mod (3.19.005_beta2). However, I'm not sure why my Vikings game showed up in the main HOF and Quattromasters, but the Arabian games did not. I did see...

@Denniz, That's all right. My submissions were ancient starts. I tried a couple classical starts, but gave up shortly after being overrun by raging barbarian axemen before being able to establish an army. I tried a bunch of religious games instead, which I found quite enjoyable.

Hello, can an admin or moderator help me recover my previous account or transfer my previous information to this account? I first joined CFC in 2008 and would rather not have to restart from scratch. I've tried using a couple different methods last week and haven't received any emails. Please...

Was the starting era meant to be Classical? Also, the leader on this thread says Brennus, but the page here mentions Boudica. I had submitted a couple games that I thought would count for this Gauntlet and was disappointed when they didn't.

Ramesses is definitely a great leader for this match. I played inland sea, 10 opponents. I did an early rush on Asoka (closest rival and founder of Buddhism). I had my capital as a commerce city, my second legendary city built every wonder possible, the third was my GPFarm. I had been perfecting...

I've put in three entries so far, two with Gandhi, Oasis, facing Lincoln, Mansa, and Frederick, and Liz, Mansa, Wang Kon, and Frederick. I got finish dates of 1832 AD and 1760 AD, respectively. Then I tried a game with Liz on Lakes, facing Mansa, Gandhi, and Lincoln. I finished that in 1655 AD...

I've just signed up, hopefully there's still space.

The key to medieval warfare is using trebs and knights effectively. I promote my trebs in two different ways. I'll promote probably a third of them (somewhere between 5-8 would probably be sufficient) and promote them to bombard. The rest of them I'll promote along the city raider line. This...

I think it would work quite easily. You could make any tech available to research at the start, unless of course a tech required a prerequisite tech. Players would be kept from researching Fission right at the start because of its tremendous cost. Therefore, research would likely progress along...

I think having only one unit per tile would ruing gameplay and be very unrealistic. A much better option, in my opinion, would be to have the military come from your population. Therefore, this would naturally limit SOD's, since any military unit is a unit that is not producing something for...

It's only knights that are immune.

Drill is good if you want to upgrade them, but it is useless against knights since knights are immune to first strikes. However, I doubt you will ever face an AI that uses a stack of knights large enough to pose a serious threat to drill promoted LB's.

I would probably start the GA as soon as I got the Great Person, if I had no other use for him, unless you're trying for a space race win, when you would want the extra hammers at the end of the game. It's definitely a tough call, but one other thing you should consider is that they give +100% GPP.
