Game release page is here. :)

Good luck! :D
 
Demi-GOD? OK I think I know how this will go ... Gee it'll be two loosing games in a row.
 
Yeah... I just played up until the start of the medieval age, and the only thing I learned was that I suck WAY too much to be playing on Demi-God. :p
 
I need to learn more about revolving my Civ Playing around my life (rather than the other way round) to worry about what level it's at....

Neil. :cool:

I was kinda competing...kinda...definitely not a happy way to enter GOTM. :rolleyes:

I've managed to keep territorial integrity at least so I'm trying a different approach than beating my head against the world's superpower next door... hopefully not out of the running yet, despite being left in the dust tech-wise.

ainwood, I have to say, even the starting compensations for Conquest Class do not put Demi-God down anywhere near Regent or Warlord. I'd say "Monarch or Emperor" would've been a more fair description. :crazyeye:
 
wow, this is at demigod, the highest i have played is monarch and i won by a slim diplo victory. In this game I am actually competeing,

Moderator Action: I'm pleased to see you are rising to the challenge, but please keep all comments on progress in the game for the Spoiler threads for each era.

Go to the submission page It's also linked on all gotm.civfanatics.net pages along with the game pages and results and so on. You can find full instructions on how to prepare your save file there. It must be a manual save, not zipped, for the turn after the victory ceremony, unless you suffer a conquest defeat.
 
This is my first Demi-God game too -- previously, the highest I've played was Monarch, and my only Monarch game was COTM2. It also wasn't heartening when I played 5 different test games as the Byzantines on Demi-God level and got my butt handed to me by the early Middle Ages (or sooner) in each and every one of them. Still, I soldier on.

Although ... I played about 20 turns last night and kept (for the first time) a turn log, and I found that keeping the turn log made me really think about each and every one of my actions. So maybe there's hope for me. I guess we'll see how I'm doing when we get to the first spoiler thread.
 
Well this morning around 4am, I made two incredibly stupid choices. First I decided I should attack <civ X> when the military advisor said I was weak compared to them. Then instead of taking my lumps, I got mad a few turns later and reloaded from the turn I attacked. :mad: I kept on playing until I had to got to work.

I had a tremendous (for me anyway) 1000BC start. I am going to finish the reloaded game but I can't submit, even if I manage to actually win the first demi-god game I every played. :cry:

I figured confession is good for the soul and all that. This way I won't get tempted later if I do good. :satan: :confused: :jesus:

edit: oops. spoiler deleted
 
Wow, I'm still working on GOTM 33 and this is out already. I'm hoping to be able to play this one for Mursilis (inside joke), but I might end up trying for a 1CC or 5CC Diplomatic/Culture type game just to speed things up. I'll wait and see when I get to start and how the first couple of turns go before deciding. One thing for sure I won't be heading south with the settler in this game.
 
This is my first Demi God game too.

I also found that keeping a turn log, made me more concious of pressing the F4 key and checking my rivals tech progress. Else for me the AA goes in a blur (and I get into a MA slog).

But I still have not got to 1000BC yet. I will be posting and hopefully submitting my first COTM game.

You don't want to do it like that! You want to let CRpMapStat check for you! (assuming you're not a Mac weirdo like AlanH :lol: )
