Who is working on HOF attempts w/o threads?

What is the domination limit anyway?

That is perhaps a "Typographical" error. I would not scrap the HOF game without requesting a Ruling from the Chief Arbitrator, Aeson.

It' s not a high scoring game but it would be first cultural 20K victory entry at emperor level. Maybe I' ll ask after finishing the game.

While it is technically a restart, I don't see any more advantage in a restart over say an accidental Domination Victory! (Assuming you can restart from the [Auto]Save prior to the Government-Switch-Decision!?)

I don' t use autosave option so I had to return to my last save. :(

Honor is still A major factor in HOF games! :)

.....AND, it sounds like you have a good dose of Honor already ingrained! :goodjob:

Thanks a lot. :king:
 
I thought I would give a 1000 AD update to my Warlord game that took so long to actually start. As you can see from the screenshot below the huge number of workers that I currently have makes turns very long so it took me a while to get to this point.

My score progress has been;
10 AD 519
500 AD 1147
1000 AD 2932

I'm in the conquest phase with two Civs to go and they are way behind technologically so it doesn't take very long, about 5 turns per Civ. I'm at 50% for the domination limit and there is plenty of city repositioning to do once the conquest phase is over so I'll be at this for a few more weeks I suspect. I'm currently researching sanitation and already have replacement parts so am not building any more workers. Once I can build hospitals the city density will slowly go down but I'm behind in city infrastructure development because I didn't get the palace moved until 500 AD and that is when the core actually began to develop so those cities are later in development than I would have liked. My next update will be at 1500 AD but that might not be for a couple of weeks as these turns are going to be very slow until city repositioning is complete which might occur before the update.
 
Moonsinger: Wow, that's a lot of armies (what's the count) - how did you keep from triggering domination with all that land?
 
Currently, I have over 50 armies. 2/3 of them was created by great leader and the rest was from the military academy. Overall, I lost 5 armies in battle - 1 was killed by cruise missles. The AIs are getting a little bit smarter now. If they have any cruise missles, they would definitely launch them to take out my army.:cry: Since I had about 150 cannons (and later became 300 artilleries) leading the way, my army was pretty much invincible. Anyway, I was just merely about 1% away from triggering the domination win. As of 1495AD, the score was around 39000 points and gaining stable at 278 points per turn.

Its always a problem with Armies at the end of a milked game :)

Whenever I get to the end all military gets disbanded (except the last civ captors of course), but no matter what I cant bring myself to disband of the armies :)

Awesome! Thanks for holding off until Aeson posted my HOF game Moonsinger! And thanks for the update Aeson - I'll enjoy the top slot for a cycle till Moonsinger's game arrives, then I'll have to consider a new start ;)
 
Thanks for your kind words SirPleb!:) Realistically, I probably won't be able to finish my game until the end of June.;)

I would think disbanding for shields would be the only real efficient use of them after combat...between rivers and disbanding units it's fun to start the milk phase with marketplace production (having already skipped/completed aqueducts).

Well, it's hard to predict what the future would be like. What seems to be unreal has become real and what real isn't real no more.:( "No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."

PS: I'm now exactly 86 turns away from finishing my Sid game before I take very long break away from this world (Civ3 and this forums). What would the score be? Don't know because for some reason my browser doesn't do Java anymore; therefore, I was unable to use SirPleb score calculator. May be my system has been infected with virus or something (since my husband has been surfing the net when I'm not at home lately; I better do a complete virus scan tonight). Anyway, I'm already passing 70 and going for 80.:)
 
Moonsinger, I'm not sure why your Java is not working, but it is probably just some service stopped or the JVM which is missing.
Also, if it is in the explorer (u said browser..), the explorer has some java options you might wanna try.

Have fun, and a nice (but small ;) ) vacation!
My vacation from civ3 is warcraft3 and chess learning.. :)
 
My last game;

Iroquis
Difficulty: Monarch
Small Map
Pangea, Normal climate, temperate, 4 billion ages
3 random civs (Mongols, Egypt, Spain)

Mostly a peaceful game, just building & building. :)
20K cultural victory at 1768 AD. :king:

Brief update on my Chieftain run with the Persians.

1000AD - 3458 points +39ppt - Genetics in 2 turns.

The entire Infrastructure is about 90% complete (thanks to drafting mech infantry for rushing hospitals and mass transit) but I still will be reoptimizing some city placements to increase my percentages of grasslands and plains.

This will likely be the first game that I've played where I score more game points in the first half of the game. Looks like I should hit around the 5500 range by 1400AD but I doubt I will hit 11000 by 2050AD.

Java was enable in IE (that was the first spot I checked). Not sure why it's not working - no virus was found. I guess I'm going to have to reinstall a fresh copy of IE (can't upgrade IE either because the Window Update feature doesn't work - it's probably using Java too). Anyway, I'm not going to worry about that now...Just as long as my Window still runs, I'm good. I have just 34 more turns to go...one more session and I'm done...The final score would definitely be above 80K.:)

80K! Wow! congrats!! :goodjob: :goodjob:
I think I had that problem once, so if you haven't reinstalled yet, try looking for "first-side cookies", and enable them.
If this doesn't work... I've got no clue.
And, Don't leave us (me ;) ) !!
