loaded up some autosaves. some commentaries. T59: Somehow land TOA after going 4 city. Normally I would not risk it but poster told us this is a wonder challenge... el dorado gold went to 1 settler. Around this point I decide on CV, if not I would settle a fifth city for Science somewhere...

After looking at the map again, I think these were the changes made?

Finished on T169 with CV. Fun Map!

Got a settler victory on T144 under hof conditions. Some notes: - 7 cities, other than settler worker from ruins it was culture, upgrades, religion. - Social Policy, liberty 4 -> trad 2-> lib ga -> comm 3-> finish rat, 6 freedom -> complete liberty for GE. Overflow of cuture with 2 additional...

Hi, who can I contact for civ 5 hof user access issues? Having password issues and the access email doesnt come through. Been years since I last submitted.

I had a crack at this one and got T210. Reminded me of similiar start long ago for GOTM (babylon, OCC, science) which I think vadalaz won? Was too happily building wonders GL -> NC -> TOA, Petra, HG, colossus, even CI. Slightly before machinary it dawned on me that I needed to eliminate 5 AI and...

Finished this one 242 after trying an experimental build. Went Liberty left side -> 7 settlers -> Piety til reformation (Heathen Conversion). Was not very good faith terrain and I lost oracle, so only able to start snowball at turn ~140. However managed to ally all city states left on map by...

Finished this one on 226 as I got the civ 5 itch. Saw screenshots and cannot resist since have never finished a game with them before. Map was good for Hawaii and many possible strategy. second time around as first time I discovered moai need remove jungle not stack over it :/ went for Trad 4...

This strategy is a HOF run from T0 and you aim to finish as early as possible... so everything is geared around max faith + city = max tourism asap. rel - OWN (spanish bonus) + IR (game is over by T90, so max gold before that) + monast (cheapest faith) + mosque ( city never grows above 1 so...

Finished Brazil map on 213. Start was very slow, had to build a worker! Lost oracle as maya and inca went wonder crazy, managed to scrap last religion. WC was WR -> IG, was going for airports + hotels but when you are brazil turns out science is relevant past hotels...Target was 12k culture in...

Vadalaz - looking forward to seeing the HOF attempt! Did some code diving (might not have gotten every detail correct): City needs to be within 5 tiles of their city for max purchase. else its at least a 50% discount (uses 1/(x-4) from what i can see). Cost formula approximately...

Its not my fastest culture win but going faster would mean sacred sites. IGE allows you to edit maps. TBH i dont think it is the strongest spain map - i like it when mount kili is around. Lakes map script is probably the best one for spain.

Replayed the part from nc onwards; got it down to 162. I might have been able to get it down to sub 160 if I built globe in my expo instead of half building the forbidden palace... but i think im done. btw im pretty sure this map was slightly edited; just occured to me while playing that sri...

nice one vadalaz! Only managed 176, think i messed after 4 city nc, eventually losing uffizi and a GE rushed louvre :( i always thought WR was the best resolution for futurism games, but hard to argue with your results. btw the map seemed a bit bugged, i got free gold for a wonder next to...

Thats very niffy vadalaz. I guess its valid for HOF? Time to roll maps til you get one with a bazillion culture and rel CS.
