it's my day off so i'm the first? thanks ainwood

I'm in! There will be no mercy this month...

Thanks Ainwood, the GOTM 34 was my first attempt at a GOTM - and I really quite enjoyed it. Particularily the rundown of how other players managed scores far better than mine!! Soooo much to learn, now on to GOTM 35

Well, I just beat my first COTM (04), may as well give this a try

Hi all,

My first attempt at GOTM as well. Still learning the ropes on Chieften but hope to do a resonable job.

I have seen referances to logging software to help document your move, I had a look in the download section but could not find anything. What do people use for this function?

BTW Ainwood and GOTM team, great job!

Yes, I must say I quite enjoyed GOTM34 and am still enjoying COTM04 as well. I don't post much but enjoy reading and studying people's insights. I have learnt so much from reading the GOTM forums over the past year and a half, but still need to remember to encorporate these things into my style.

I have not submitted many games because of vacations and time constraints, but also because higher levels have been somewhat intimidating. After my domination victory in GOTM34, I feel that this time, I will try Open Class for the first time. Should be great, Ottomans with that starting locale. Thanks a lot guys!!

I thought the ottomans were supposed to be scientific - I downloaded the predator save and libraries are still costing 80 shields when they should be costing 40. You didn't say the scientific trait would removed. I haven't played to the MA but I guess we won't be getting the free tech either.

In addition Barracks and walls only seem to cost half of what they should. Looks like we're militaristic instead of scientific.

I tried an Ottomans practice game using Bluebox's GOTM scenario file, and they were set to militaristic/industrious. I guess that may be a legacy from Cracker's days, when he would remove the scientific trait from all but one competing civ to level the playing field between vanilla and PTW. He did this because vanilla only sees one free tech each era change, regardless of how many scientific civs are in play.

Ainwood may have chosen a different non-scientific replacement trait, of course.

I wish.

I run two PCs - I play test on one (faster) and design on the other. I reverted the traits back, but at some point I must have swapped them across PCs - only the PTW game is affected. Fixed now.

I can manually fix your games to revert the traits, so please e-mail them to me.


Guess I should just declare myself clinically incompetent and be done with it.

The Ottomans are scientific...

But cost of library is 80 shelds in GOTM35 for Ottomans...
I play ptw1.27, load up save file for ptw too(gotm_35_predator_ptw.sav).

I am sorry/ I am late.

OK - Anyone with a PTW save downloaded in the last 12 hours, please e-mail the save to me to gotm@civfanatics.net and I'll fix it for you straight away.

I plan on downloading the save later (still working on COTM4), has the original download been corrected?

Yes - the files on the server are now correct.

Hi,
New to the GOTM, a very good idea by the way.

This is kind of my 2nd one, ran out of time doing different things to get a playable version. (still not sure if would go all the way thru 34, never got off the island)

From my Foriegn Advisor screen I click on a particular Race and it crashes as it goes to the Negotiation screen. This is the first time I have met this race since starting the GOTM's, they were first introduced back in the very early 20's GOTM's.

My system as loaded in order:

Civ3 install
Graphix mod pac and 2 fixes for the pac
Alan's Mac patch kits up to 25
reinstalled my resources.pcx (and shadow)
+ a hacked up pediaicons.txt file (from the mac issues in 34 (won_splash, etc)

I went back to that GOTm they were intruduced on and checked the files, everything was there as AlanH had put them. so Im kind of at a loss presently....the only problem is with this one race when I go to the Negotiation screen. ...it crashes to desktop ( no messages ) before it gets to the screen.

any ideas?
Thanks in advance.


oh, and I am running vesion : gotm_35_civ_open.sav
also, it has worked with all other new races I have encountered, but I also noticed those (leaderheads) I have seen so far only have a couple .pcx and .flc files associated with them (in the game folders), and some of the newer ones that I have yet to meet have multiple files with them, more like the stock leaderheads.

As a suggestion, try the pediaicons.txt file in this post - it might help.

Otherwise, please PM me or e-mail me at gotm@civfanatics.net with more specific details (civ involved etc).

Going to give this one a whirl. I got smoked in a hurry last month, but since then I've got up to speed on Regent. Will probably get smoked in a hurry on Monarch this go around, but I intend to play it out to the bitter end and submit my pathetic final score so all can jeer and throw garbage....

No jeering or garbage throwing allowed! The only mocking and jeering permissible in in the direction of the idiot who failed quality-control school and seems to continually release games with bugs in them!

Seriously - we like people to submit no matter how badly they do. And no-one gets mocked for low scores - instead the atmosphere is to help each other and share ideas and strategies.

Please let me know what you find, Ainwood. It sounds like there's a changed race name in the BIC that's not supported in the pediaicons.txt file in my Mac installer. I'll need to update it.
