[img=right]http://www.civfanatics.net/methos/hof/staff/gauntlet.gif[/img]While the general Hall of Fame is an ongoing competition, we like to run time-definite competitions between updates that we call Gauntlets. Standard Hall of Fame rules (*) still apply, but any games meeting the settings will be counted towards the Gauntlet.

(*) Please read the >> HOF rules << BEFORE playing!​

Settings:
  • Victory Condition: Cultural (though all victory conditions must be enabled)
  • Difficulty: Prince
  • Starting Era: Ancient
  • Map Size: Standard
  • Map Type: Any
  • Speed: Normal
  • Required: OCC Checked
  • Must Not Be Checked: No City Razing
  • Civ: Greece (Alexander)
  • Opponents: Any
  • Version: 1.74.003, 2.13.003 or 3.17.001
  • Date: 10th to 25th June 2009
Must not play as Inca.
The earliest finish date wins, with score as a tiebreaker.
 
This one looks like fun. Maybe I'll actually get a chance to play this update.
 
tell me, how do I get three cities?
 
its quite a fun variant.
Its all about getting an early PA with a culturally inclined civ!

Cheesus. Thanks for at least letting us know early. It's still nuts though - AI don't normally bother with culture?
 
Hatty, Mansa, Brennus, Liz etc. go for culture.

You can also gift great artists ;)
 
Yeah, cos I usually have way too many great artists on Prince :P

Oh I forgot to ask - Is Permanent Alliance normally allowed?
 
PA is allowed in standard HOF games but isn't always available for the gauntlets.
However this one is impossible without a PA

I don't think you'll be happy with the results of this. The AI will likely use the GA to either expand borders on a lame city way on the edge of their territory, or they will culture bomb their #3 city. Sadly they are too stupid to realize that it's actually the #4 city since you supply one of the 3 legendary cities.
 
is there any way to change your PA partners civics or research rate?
why when I want to win culture do they tech and go for space and they up the culture slider!?!

also corporations if I found a corp and spread it to an AI does it recieve a benefit from my resources or its own?

It is frustrating when your PA partner decides to go for a different VC. I don't know of any way to direct them in this matter.

For a corporation, each player uses their own resources.

I've never done PA, and I was wondering about this, too. You would presumably share corporate resources with your PA, no? I wonder if it's possible to get enough resources for sushi to become a useful tactic.

Same applies for wonders, right? If I built Sistine, the PA would get its benefits, as well?

This will be fun. I finally have some time this month to really attempt a gauntlet.
 
Corporation warning: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but before you tech all the way up there, realize this. You most likely have communism to get the PA. That means your partner will (likely) take on State Property. No corporations for him. And no way to make them change (bug?). Another annoyance is that they don't seem to care that their favorite civic is Free Market, for example. I know it never used to be that way. Maybe it's BTS or just the newer patches on BTS.
 
It's not State Property that usually prevents corp spread...it's Mercantilism. Most of the AI players run Merc for the free specialist. If you have a PA, it seems like corps should be considered domestic (and not foreign) for PA player as well. Maybe a bug?

I actually dont find many civs take state prop, but the one sure fix is to get the UN and vote in environmentalism. I just find the ai's are really slow to culture period. Perhaps I don't know the correct ai mix, but even the culture vultures all seem to tech way high beofre changing to a culture VC.
 
Got a win tho the date seems rather late but then i'm not sure what constitutes a good one til its ranked. PA with Pericles for A Greek To Greek victory :)
