Standard Hall of Fame rules (*) still apply, but any games meeting the settings will be counted towards the Gauntlet.

How can I get Maya in Warlords?

Who is another civ that tends to be crazy or warmongering that is in both versions?

Once we decide, I'll switch them out. I want to keep it seven opponents and prefer them to be a little more bossy.

Ragnar, perhaps. Or Shaka.

We'll go with the berserkers. Swapped.

Not that I plan on participating (nice setup but beyond my league) but do you really mean 7 opponents? Only 6 listed so far. Maybe throw Shaka into it as well?

Edit: if I ever go for it I'd resort to an quasi-conquest type of game. Cheesy but doable. I'll have to think more on this challenge.

I could have sworn I had seven. Ok, last modification. Shaka has been added to the party!

Oh, crap....on first look, this was interesting. But, looks like Vanilla is out? I still can't tell from the header or gauntlet info which versions, otherwise, but I don't recall any Vikings in vanilla. I assume there's no way to get enough leaders with those traits in vanilla?

Conquistador 63 · Mar 26, 2008

A Protective leader can't be found in Vanilla either.

A Protective leader can't be found in Vanilla either.

The Protective trait wasn't introduced until Warlords.

Not played any games with agg. Ai, does it make the AIs fight more between themselves or just build more units and be more aggressive towards the human player?

ParadigmShifter · Mar 26, 2008

Depends whether you are playing warlords or BtS.

Warlords, they hate the player more (-2 diplo modifier I think).
In BtS, they spam more units and are prone to war if they see an opportunity (not just against the player).

Methos · Mar 26, 2008

I've never played with aggressive AI either, but from the forums I hear bad things in regards to BTS and unit spamming.

Jimmy Thunder · Mar 26, 2008

I think this is a pretty clever gauntlet and sounds fun.

Hopefully I will have time for a try.

phanc · Mar 27, 2008

The 'Aggressive AI checked' requirement is missing from the Gauntlet page.
Edit: and so is the protective civ requirement.

Welcome to posting! :band:

The display for both items hasn't been coded in yet.

ParadigmShifter · Mar 27, 2008

Have you coded in something so that Random Personalities aren't allowed yet?

That could make a very different game otherwise...

azzaman333 · Mar 27, 2008

Kublai and Izzy are the easiest to make good friends with from my experience, so I think I'll be relying on them being allies in one way or another. Also, Kublai, Ragnar and Shaka (in that order) are going to be the most dangerous from my experiences, since Genghis and Monty both kill their economy, Tokugawa never trades, and Izzy spends too much time building missionaries.

LuckyAC · Mar 29, 2008

Possibly the worst cultural victory ever, but it was definitely fun. I had probably 10+ wars, including multiple two front wars and I was at war with up to three civs at once. I ended up winning in 1840, managing to go 48,000! culture over the threshold in my capital.
