End of BtS BOTM 117 results.

Spoiler Sorry I'm Late :

Where are my priorities?
I made time to finish 6otm01 but not to post these results!

OMG that space win! ....and cow to boot!

edit:

Went back to see if Rusten had a write-up in the spoilers and found this quote:

I misjudged the pace of my game and ended up doing some silly things as a result. .

All I can say is...Rusty Rusten, please show me how to do the silly things you do!

edit2:

Just checked out the HOF tables, and the record for Space/Emperor/Standard/Normal is
1625 AD by none other than bcool. 1570AD on Deity by Sun Tzu Wu. (you know..just a little perspective here)

 

[DynamicSpirit]

Well that is astonishing. Amazing result Rusten, and actually very good results for everyone else who managed to win. I remember starting the game, but never finished and didn't submit. From what I recall, I found it an extremely hard map, because the AIs just produced so many units early on (presumably from chopping all those forests) making it extremely hard to fight them off. My immense respect to all who managed to finish the game, and even more respect to those who managed to win. As for 1450 AD space. Wow!!!!!!

 

[Rusten]

Thanks guys! It was a good game indeed. Congrats to everyone else who finished successfully too.

lymond: Get in touch with my sales representative. I can offer some good hourly rates.

 

[lymond]

I assume you take bitcoin

 

[LowtherCastle]

Get in touch with my sales representative.

Is she blond?

 

[Rusten]

Is she blond?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

And btw; they're real and they're spectacular.

 

[LowtherCastle]

And btw; they're real.

Rather not imagine what else on a cold, wintry Norwegian night.

 

[lymond]

someone is not a Seinfeld fan (apparently Norway has at least one)

..those Norse ladies are spectacular

 

[BornInCantaloup]

Well played to all of those who completed this map.

I liked the setup very much, although I started with a terrible mistake (bear eats settler) and ended up going against the flow (neglect of diplomacy).
Facing 4 times Napoleon was a little confusing to start with but eventually manageable.

 

[nocho]

Yes, very enjoyable map, thanks DH!

And all hail Rusten!

 

[kcd_swede]

It was a great concept. I wish I had made a test game with similar conditions to better anticipate the depth of the challenge. But who has time for that??? Fly by the seat of the pants is just my way, I have to accept that. Gren Ambulance is anyhow better than I thought. Very interesting that the AI do not DOW me when I have only 1 city left.
