Well go and play these instead then.

1922 Victory on 2nd attempt. Quite happy with this as only my 4th game on Civ5. Had a relatively good starting position with 3 Wheat but unfortunately no marble. Had 3 Civs on my continent (Japan, India and another) which I eliminated by about turn 100 and managed to get 6 puppets...

I think it was because the last game I needed for QM was the G-Major which I submitted and was accepted in the the last update but it was obviously only confirmed in this update.

And me - QM(13th). Yah for me! Plus congrats to others.

Im in 13th with about 80,000.

Right so about 50K seems to be the bottom of the table. I submitted a score of 51000ish which is currently sitting in 10th out of 11 submissions. I never milked any score on that effort just went straight for domination. Currently working on my 2nd attempt. Going alot better, upto about 70K and...

I personally don't mind either way. I have finished all my attempts at this one. If you were to extend however, would a new minor still be put up? Just a thought though: Isn't there a deadline for a reason?

Can anyone give me any tips. I Can't seem to finish before 1700. Is the idea to get any many cities as possible? Ididn;t think my research rate was that bad but it obviously is seeing some of the other finishing dates.

I notice that sometimes if I finish one game (or give up on a game) and then go back through 'custom game' and re-launch a new game that I get the "CRC' error. A simple restart of the game seems to get rid of this.

What map you all using? I tried pangea, thought having everyone on the same island would be a good idea for contact. Tried OCC, started of quick on research but got caught up sometime just after Education and then got beaten to United Nations. Needless to say I wasn't one of the two biggest...

I looked at it but I have just come back to Civ after 3 or 4 months off so wasn't that keen to go straight into the major.

I need the Major Gauntlet for my quatromaster, so I thought I would practice on the minor before I stepped up to tackle the major, however I must be doing some fundamentals wrong as I am really struggling. If I try and conquer my own continent first then by the time I have done this and my...

Also this only works for lower difficulty levels.

Same here:). I'd be keen for a BTS Gauntlet though.

For some reason, I always find spacerace hard to do fast. I think I tech fast and build quite fast but still end up finishing in 1900's. Can someone please give me some tips to get earlier finishes.
