COTM 167 China Emperor

[MrRandomGuy]

The person who originally signed up to do this GOTM seems to have disappeared from the forums. Fortunately, I had already started to make a map for this scenario and hadn't deleted it.

Warning: This is an untested game. However, since it's Emperor level it should be doable. The world is yours to discover. Good luck!

I sent the save file to Alan. He will update the game release page and post the link or edit this post as soon as he can.

Starting Position:

 

[Più Freddo]

We hope to have this COTM for the second quarter 2024 up and running real soon!

85% water

???

More water than the default settings allow for?

 

[Più Freddo]

It happens for example when you distribute water tiles to split larger islands... These are tailored maps.

So basically it sounds like an 80% water map, but with even more water. Who sunk my curragh?!

 

[AlanH]

The tile count was actually 83%. I could have rounded it either way.

Thanks a lot to @MrRandomGuy for stepping in!!

Mine sunk too, once I finally got it in the water. These Chinese quality products...

I'm submitting a QSC result. Who else is up to the challenge?

 

[Più Freddo]

OK, upload failed. What is going on?

 

[Lanzelot]

I don't think I saved at 1000BC. Perhaps I still have an autosave?! (But since I'm playing this on my new Win11 box, Civassist auto-archive no longer works (have to load manually each turn, and neither archive nor the map feature works )

 

[Più Freddo]

Why not use a real computer?

Can't remember what QSC means.

Apparently it didn't work for me also.

 

[Spoonwood]

Can't remember what QSC means.

Quick Start Challenge. It's a way of measuring how strong of a position players are at in 1000 BC.

OK, upload failed. What is going on?

QSC upload and the submit e-mail on the submit page did not work for me either. I e-mailed my save file to AlanH.

 

[AlanH]

Is anyone still submitting QSC? Amazing! I’ll see if I can reinstate it.

I think it's a very good suggestion by Piu Freddo. It's less time. Easier to keep or get an open mind about the map settings and such for a QSC run.

I didn't have a sunken curragh when I made the above comment. It was more of a joke. I do have some notes now though.

The download link for the save is not available for me. Anyone else facing this problem?
