[aafritz17]

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:

• Expansion: Brave New World
• Victory Condition: Diplomacy (though all victory conditions must be enabled)
• Difficulty: Immortal
• Map Size: Small
• Map Type: Frontier
• Speed: Standard
• Leader: Arabia (Harun al-Rashid)
• Opponents: Any
• Version: SV8
• Date: 1st to 31st January 2022

The earliest finish date wins, with score as a tiebreaker.

Arabia is so great for Diplomacy -- Bazaars help trade luxuries early to stay happy as you expand quickly and widely. Then Camel Archers kick in and help conquer all but two AI civs to get the World Leader vote after entering the Atomic Age. Though it is immortal level, this is definitely doable and fun. Remember to not put Venice or Maria Theresa in as AI civs or you might not make the votes you need! They swallow up AI civs and mess up the count. If you put in Genghis Khan, be prepared to reconquer any AI civs Genghis likely captures. Even with all 12 City States, the Forbidden Palace, and World Religion, I was still 1 vote short of World Leader victory, but luckily I had massive science and was able to tech to Globalization before the World Leader vote!
