The fault is mine folks. Sorry. The dates in Ali's post above are correct. I believe that the turns taken and the overall scores are correct as published . The erroneous column bears a resemblance to the prior GotM, so I guess you can imagine what I forgot to do. Better would be...

Following the link in the second (small) paragraph I see the table.

As many know I help a little as a junior member of the GotM Staff Team. I am sorry we didn't include lasingularidad's after-the-deadline submission in the formal results. I didn't have the files when the scoring was done. I apologise to lasingularidad for this. :bowdown: Curious that I...

Thanks for the log. In passing, I note it will be some time (six weeks or so) before the School Year ends in the UK: the one week holiday of half-term during the summer term was last week. It's exams galore now.

I think it's fair to say it's reasonably common for someone to chat in the spoiler and not submit a game. Perhaps every two or three games. When I first started helping on the GotM Staff I was concerned about this. But now I don't worry. It is probably more interesting for our group to have...

Research, led by the SSC at StPetersburg, makes good progress. 520- disc ToG -> Econ. Give Ast to Mongols (Spanish get from GL). StPetersburg builds Uni. Gems from Stralsund to Luxemburg, for 144g. Pirates next to Lvov. 540- StPetersburg (size=22) builds Isaac Newton College. disc...

20- Vilnius builds Michaelangelo Chapel. disc Con -> BB. Give Con to Mongols. Capture Halle - probably a vet, the defending legion made it a bit sticky. Hides from Lvov to StPetersburg, for 104g. Hides from Kamyshin to StPetersburg, for 168g. Spanish change to GL. 40- Wine from...

Start on Writing. 475- Give Whe to Mongols(1). Give Mon to Persians. Have noticed a few barb units (archers, legions) on the move. 450- Give Poly to Mongols(1). Brings research cost down. Give Tra to French. Found Smolensk (84,38). Capture Magdeburg. 425- StPetersburg builds Colossus. 400-...

975- 1st building, a courthouse in Lvov. Attack Warsaw, running into a legion and an archer. When we threaten to move in we get a warning about a peace treaty with the Mongols - we capture Warsaw (now size 1), and are still at peace. 950- disorder Orenburg as troops move out - oops- that...

I allowed some weeks to pass between making the game and starting to play, and found that whilst of course I knew the general design, specifics of the barb cities had all faded by the time I started. I had not used much pattern with the barb cities (and as mentioned they were not all the same)...

Another year passed, time to create a new post for the next set of games. GotM178 - May 2016 - Emperor - 50x80 game-generated map - Vikings - 7 players - Round - Restless Tribes - Restarts On Spoiler comments here. Comments about the outcome go here. GotM179 - WWII Scenario (Rerun) - June 2016...

The deadline has just passed and now I can send big thanks to Jokemaster, Major and Ali for playing and recording their thoughts on this composition. Much appreciated thankyou! As usual (I also did 131 "Ashoka", 148 "Dreyna", 169 "Red Cloud") I tried to set up some different problems and...

I expect everyone knows, but just to be sure the reason the % column for Jokemaster is blank is that the "game-end" file supplied is saved AFTER the last city is taken, which means the game end sequence does not run when the file is reloaded. If you have the English messages, the Foreign...

Jokemaster's note that some, perhaps anyone using a reasonably new computer, may be playing without "Find City", suggests two more notes. At the start "Find City" does not list Constantinople, despite it having a wonder (Marco Polo Embassy.) The Mongol map does not include the location of...

GotM has been kind enough to allow me a few compositions, most recently GotM169. I have a good record of joining in and not playing very well. Most of us enjoy a known map game from time to time, but like managing exploration in games too. I think when this was discussed some time back we...

By kind permission of our normal game setter Ali_Ardavan, I invite the group to take on another composition. It is named for Catherine the Great, the renowned Russian Empress. And it's the default name for a Russian female leader in Civ2. Civilization: Russia, 1 settler and 1 warrior. Starting...

Hello, I got here eventually (and yes I know that it is likely several have already moved on, to the, er, February game as it is now the 20th of that month.) My thanks to Jokemaster and lasingularidad for their entertaining posts of a month ago, sorry I was too far behind to read them at the...
