Ah, that makes sense. Thanks a lot!

I just recently purchased Civ 5 with G&K but I'm running it on a Mac. Does this mean that my submissions will be rejected since 1.0.2.13 has not been released for the Mac yet? Should I just play games using only the Vanilla until the Mac patch is released if I want to submit games to the HOF.

Thanks

Yep, we require the latest patch sorry.

Thinking of playing civ again. Happy to see all civs are now allowed. And just to double-check, the rules explicitly state DLC civs are allowed for G&K, but make no mention of other DLC (don't know if there has been any more released, tbh). Is it fine to have the 3 DLC wonders available, or will I need to switch them off?

DLC wonders are fine with G&K.

Why have the G major skipped XX - XXIX?

BWS · Feb 05, 2013, 02:41 AM

From the "Disallowed" rules:

Quote:

Only random maps may be used that you have generated yourself. You may not share maps with other players. You may only use each map once. GOTM maps are not acceptable.

Is it allowed to share maps after you have finished a game? For example, if I win a Deity game and submit it, could I post it afterward to the Strategy & Tips "Deity Challenge" series for other players to try?

Yes that is allowed, but those players who play your map are not allowed to submit it.

Thanks for the clarification!

Forgive me if this has been asked before.
If we finished a gauntlet and submit, are we allowed to submit again for the same gauntlet?

Also, if we don't like our progress about halfway through, can we scrap it and start another?

IIRC back in civ 4 gauntlets, you could not do either.

Yes, you are allowed to submit as many games as you want.

Yes, you are allowed to start again but not the same game. You have to start all over.

are the filters for gminor XLVIII set up correctly on the website? i'm pretty sure my accepted submission 4691 matches the listed filters, and i'd guess other people have submitted games too, but the gminor page says "no games have been submitted yet"

Peets · Mar 13, 2013, 12:11 PM

We are aware of the problem and are fixing it

Mesix · Mar 13, 2013, 12:21 PM

I see 4 entries in G-Minor right now. I have submitted a game, should I see it listed (with the rest hidden) or does it not show any entries until the competition is finished?

Edit: Never mind, I must have looked while you were fixing it. I see my entry now.

Peets · Mar 13, 2013, 12:24 PM

I was just adding them to the list.
The G-minor and G-major should have listed all accepted entries now if I didn't missed one. Hidden of course except yours

Denniz is working on to fix it all. If we all give him some beer, he'll do a great job

(Of course non alcohol, we want it right

)

Mesix · Mar 13, 2013, 12:25 PM

As I started Civ V, Steam is downloading the new patch automatically. Will this invalidate my HOF entries?

No. It happens from time to time. Everyone should be on the lastest patch when they come out.

The only issue we have to watch for is a save file format change. That tends to shut us down until we update our parser program...

The opponent lists have been excluding all the non-Vanilla Civs since we started accepting the new expansion. I put a fix in yesterday. Peets fixed all the unpublished games by unchecking/checking them in to run them through the fixed submission process.

I have to create a custom fix for all the published games. That is going to take a little more concentration than I can come up with after work. I will do it saturday before the update. It will also fix any unpublished we may have missed.

I am pretty sure that non-alcoholic beer is not really beer.

Mesix · Mar 14, 2013, 12:38 AM

What about a game which I started on one patch, played for two nights, and then loaded after the patch to finish it? The first three saves will be on the old patch, and the finishing save will be on the new. Is that going to mess up the submission?

Edit: Looks like it was accepted! Thanks

Denniz · Mar 16, 2013, 03:12 PM

Program to fix opponents for G&K not finished. Update delay until tomorrow.
