I did not play this one, I did not like the scenario too much and there was too much other stuff to do in the late summer, so I gave this one a pass.

Any updates?

Cool, thx everyone involved for keeping this going.

Yea, where is the next gauntlet, @Denniz? :/

Managed to improve to T189 and probably not gonna try again, too starting location dependent and too hard to roll one that can do sub T180. Anyways, a fun gauntlet.

@aafritz17 I think you can still submit, usually the gauntlet is open until @Denniz closes it, which is often a few days after the oficial deadline. And even if it won't count to the gauntlet, it will count to your HoF submissions regardless, giving you points, VVV progress, etc. Also, the more...

Interesting gauntlet. Gave it a few tries till T100, then played one till the end. Dirt wasn't spectacular, no Petra and just 3 jungle tiles, but had a pretty good early game, was on par with what people posted here in T100 screenshots. But then my growth slowed down, also with just 2 Maritimes...

@finminer maybe try different settings for the Highlands map. I liked it best with Mountains: "scattered" and Bodies of water: "small lakes".

Tried again with an improved strategy (and luck) and got a T97 win :bounce: Gameplan and gameplay writeup I know, I said I would not try again, but I just really liked this gauntlet and wanted to get a sub T100 win soooo much. Also I checked @Manpanzee's game log and it inspired me to go with a...

Btw @Denniz, what exactly is: CXLXXI Afaik this is not a correct roman number, so what is it? :-)

Gave this gauntlet a try. First try was a T112 win, so I thought I could beat T104 with a bit more practice, but then tried a few more times and realised how good the T104 win is. Being a civfanatic I kept going though, and finally got this map where I found Cerro de Potosi T1 and Mt...

Tried Greek liberation for the first time, nice strategy @vadalaz! T-61 on my first try, could definitely be improved quite a bit. I didn't realise culture is going to be the bottleneck here until like T-40, so in the end I had to wait 4 or 5 turns just to pop the Great Musician. At least...

Ok so finally managed sub-T130 on my 4th full try - a solid T124 win. Main factors for the better time were: 1. didn't go Pyramids early and instead went for 4 cities fast (T47) 2. managed to get +75% Tourism multipliers with both top2 civs in culture, and with top1 very fast (got lucky that it...

Tried this one now, thought 120-ish should be quite doable, but turned out @Svinopes's T132 is actually not so easy to beat. Got a T133 win on my 2nd try, it was a very nice game with strong start and everything, expected to get sub T130 easily, but then 2 factors limited me: 1st, I had very...

Being a civfanatic, I did try again on Epic, and managed a T121 win :bounce: on my 4th full try. I had a nice map where everyone was quite close, so I went with a warlike approach and erased top5 civs in culture, only left India and Portugal alive, and they both had under 360 culture total...
