OK, lets continue the gaunlet series. :cool:

Disclaimer: the gauntlet is NOT a parallel competition, but an unofficial challenge within the GOTM. The reasons for starting it are (1) increasing competition for those who want it, and (2) making it easier to compare different games and learn.

The rules are simple:
1. Take BOTM-3 CHALLENGER save.
2. Play the game according to GOTM rules, and submit it as usual.
3. There will be a chosen VC each time, announced before the game starts. The winner of the gauntlet will be the one who gets the fastest victory of that type.
4. It would be great if everyone could post their saves at say 1000BC and 1AD after the game is over, so that we can compare different games in more detail. I will not make this rule compulsory for the first game, but we'll see later.

The chosen VC for the third game is CONQUEST.

Good luck!
 
Yes, I would have voted Conquest ;), good choice! And very good initiative on the 'QSC' saves - 1000 BC and 1 AD. I'm definitely in again. Oh boy oh boy, can't wait for the saves now. :evil:
 
Well, it is continents, so a BC victory is not very likely even with the UU. But we'll see. :)
 
I missed the 2nd gauntlet, but plan to participate in this one.
 
Although my Gotm experience is limited and never tried challenger before: I'm in :)
(I hope I find enough time to finish the game though :rolleyes: )

Have fun everyone!
 
Since the challenger options says "you are stupid", I feel compelled to play Challenger.
I'll try to get the grips of BTS fighting. Conquest it is!
 
Kay, thanx for advice. If I have that time, I mean :)
 
OK, I'll try again! Please balbes, post that #2 spoiler so I can try and improve my performance.
 
The chosen VC for the second game is CONQUEST.
You do mean third game is conquest, right? (A cut and paste overlook, I assume ... first was dom, second was space). With the game on noble, even I might have a chance with challenger, and the gauntlet train does need a caboose ...

Question: if a player downloads the challenger save, tries to win by the required method, but accidentally/can't prevent himself from winning by another means along the way, is he still considered to have competed?

Considered by whom?
 
since Obortmot is making this 'competition' open only to winners of a specific victory condition, I'd assume that not winning by conquest would make you not considered in his competition...although you are still included in the GOTM, of course :p
 
Well, from the GOTM results table it is impossible to tell which VC was pursued by the player, only the one whcih was achieved. So I cannot include players who didn't win by the gauntlet VC.

You will at least be considered for the Mutineer AwardTM in the BOTM Erkon Challenge :D
