It will make different games. More different then, say, if you were playing the same map, the same difficulty level, but with additional cash or an additional tech or unit.
But the idea of GOTM is that many people play the same (or very similar) game.
And what is the problem with a...
I came across the post regarding MacFanatics game and decided to look on this thread out of curiosity. The map is surprising, but believable. What is unbelievable is that that you guys generated 5 pages discussing it and I just contributed to it:crazyeye: .
The same, it took me a while to win on emperor in civ3 but I won on monarch in civ4 from the first attempt and I doubt that I will loose next game if it will be on emperor (though who knows).
Yet it does not mean anything. The proper comparison would be if I were not playing civ3 prior to...
We are going through exploration phase of gotm. We played, continents, lakes and in-land sea. There are several other types of maps and we are likely to play one of them. What will be the next one? The difficulty level is increasing and the next game likely will be on emperor. It is harder to...
DaveMcW scoring
Scoring should be a quantitative measure of a good playing. Good playing is subjective, so Ill speak just for myself: I like DaveMcW system more than the currently existing one (not because I am above Hendrikszoon in that table. Oh, God, no. I would not stand a chance if he was...
I hope that it is allowed, my understanding is that this autolog simply misinforms us about our score without changing anything else.
But this is only a hope. I also hope that staff will clarify this issue further.
So that is where this strange difference is coming from. I set up autolg on my computer before playing gotm1, it did not work and I decided that I will fix it later. Since I did not use it, I did not update it. Then in gotm3 I found out a huge difference between my score in game and on...
Congratulations to everyone and many thanks to staff.
I am particularly impressed by
A. Bradleyfeanor result who finished ~200 years earlier than the second fastest military victory by Sarum.
B. Narakael who managed to stick his diplomacy victory in between.
C. Hendrikszoon - "a...
yep, I am having a similar problem, submission page gives me ~120K, while the real number is ~80K (e-mailed to staff shortly after submission).
Edit: Hey, if ionimplant has >200K with 60K, I should have >200K with my 80K too :mischief:

Starting position
Unlike most people I went to s sw hill instead of sw sw. From that hill I saw wheat se se. It was clearly outside of a potential city radius. Giving the fact that there were only two floodplains tiles nearby...
Same here.
Anyway a poll award for the best spoiler is a good idea. It fits GOTM spirit. How to pick up the best 10 for the poll? :hmm: ... I believe there should be a fair way :hmm:
I think I was misunderstood. I plan to post my spoiler here, I hope “not gone past 500AD" means that we cannot post information after 500AD, but we are still allowed to post here even if we finished the game.
I am not going to post my spoiler now only because it will take time to write...
