Bravo getting this up and running, aafritz! Many thanks, just can't take Civ6.

You're the man, aafrtiz17! Thank you for keeping this alive! I've played Civ since it first came out and still have Civ I in its original box. I've never reached anything resembling expert, but I've logged countless hours on every Civ game, including over 6000 hours on Civ V. So far VI has...

Thank you! I'll give that combo a shot as well. Let's see, if Valadez can do it in say 95, I should be able to close it out by 275 or so. Maybe I can get a bronze for that stellar effort, lol.

I'm really missing these. Any word on Denniz, or getting a new moderator? Thanks

Hi vadalaz. I noticed that Denniz has not yet posted a Civ V gauntlet for September. I assume something is going on with him, hope it's serious. Does he have a backup who can post up a new one? Thanks, finminer

Where are we on the next gauntlet?

Tried that and was heading for a low 90's victory. Problem was, I left Shaka for last and he had a bunch of troops in the way. Didn't have time to squeeze another in.

Results appear highly dependent on the map. I've tried this several times on new maps and some of them are just crazy! I had one where I was nearly completely hemmed in by mountains and there were only two small paths through, blocked by barbs and CS's, or I've had water too. If you re-roll to...

First try was a leisurely T136 victory. Got a much better center top start 2nd time around and managed a T100. Pretty straightforward, not much else to do than what JoeSham says above.

Can't figure out how you found 18 cities in 111 turns, with no science yet getting to Civil Service. That's a city every 5 turns, basically. At standard speed, I'm hitting 13+ turns. I know I'm a horsehocky player, but best I can do is about 7-8 at that point.

1958 here. Should have been quicker, didn't optimize soon enough.

Not quite as fast as the experts due to some inefficient movement, but I get the strategy and did it on T98! Thanks again!

Thank you! I'll give it a shot!

Still blows my mind how fast these get done. The best I can get is low 200's. How many cities? Are you doing peaceful or just killing everyone?

Dang, just missed it at 180!
