High Scores for custom scenarios

I was thinking that there should possibly be a few rules or game conditions that should be allowed to be changed and have a map still eligible for your high scores list.
You would need to leave the map and player properties, but other properties could be changed without restrictions.

Also if this is not possible have a high scores for indivdual maps. Because currently if I am playing with snoopy's mod and I do awesome, the highscores dont show it but snoopys doesn't make the game easier(that I know of) so there should be a snoopy's high score.

I think that all high scores should could in your hall of fame. After all, you are basically playing with the same rules.

as much as it would be nice to have them in the same hall of fame, there are some times that a mod just makes the game really easy.

Maybe there shuld just be many different highscore halls of fame, with different organizations

So? Just have a per-mod high score. It's as simple as exporting it to a data file. Who gives a damn if someone alters it? It's only relevant to single player gaming.

yeah good idea, slipped my mind when posting first time, that would probably be my favorite way for them to do it, along with one option that has a overall hall of fame with all games.

I definitely second that! I mostly play mods nowadays and HATE not having them in my personal HoF!
The absolutely simplest solution would be to show each and every completed game in the HoF and simply add an asterisk to modded games - purists who want high scores to be comparable should be satisfied and we others would have our games on record as well!
Even better of course would be to give the name of the Mod and make the list viewable by mod.

It'd be easy to distinguish one mod from another (or even versions of the rules from one patch to the next), so there aren't a lot of technical issues as to why it can't be done.

I would also like to chime in -

regardless of how they do it - PLEASE record ALL scores in a HOF file.

It drives me crazy that I cannot play the RAR mod in Conquests and see MY best scores (which are of course abysmal).


One of the most annoying non-bug things about civ3 - that was unnecessarily restrictive - non-official game scores hurt no one


WE ARE NOT BARBARIANS! The need to scratch our high scores (using mods) into the walls of our caves is an unnecessary exercise!
