I am humbled to be included in your award ceremony, Starlifter. Actually I was getting desperate to dump my engineers into any open spot while my ship was in route to AC. I hadn't thought how funny it looked until I saw your snap shot. Now I'm kind of embarrassed. BTW your GOTM7 score is...

I hate to disagree with you Matrix, but I think that a lower difficulty setting increases the SPEED at which one can grow an empire. The techs come faster, the AI doesn't cheat as much, and of course unhappiness is minimized so that conquest can occur more rapidly. I know the number of turns...

Not that anybody cares <FONT COLOR="blue">(Matrix: Why not?)</FONT c>, but I agree with Smash. Leave it as it is. sulla ------------------ No better friend, no worse enemy. [This message has been edited by Matrix (edited June 13, 2001).]

Ahhhh.... (The light bulb shines brightly) Your explanation makes perfect since. Thanks sulla ------------------ No better friend, no worse enemy.

Please help me. I'm confused. If the scores for the Global Ranking are normalized to 100 for the top score each month, why doesn't Shadowdale have a Ranking of 100? Seems to me he's been perfect so far. (So far - I'm still hoping to beat him someday ... hope springs eternal) Thanks sulla...

Stormerne, Your link doesn't work for me. sulla ------------------ No better friend, no worse enemy.

At the risk of being a fool, I have sabotaged aqueducts in opposing cites if they are Democracy or Republic. If the city is too large (expensive) to buy at first, sabotage the aqueduct and then start poisoning the water supply. If the aqueduct/sewer system is still available the city will just...

Whenever you select "REVOLUTION" you are immediately in anarchy. Do your self a favor and use the attitude advisor to conduct a "city sweep" to make sure none of your cities are revolting before you end your turn. (A revolting city gets no shield or trade arrow credit.) You will probably have...

Magnus, I stand corrected. I thought I remembered having the the problem with 100% Lux also. BTW do you get your name from Pompey? sulla ------------------ No better friend, no worse enemy.

"Sulla" was a Roman general who marched on Rome to reclaim his power in approximately 80 BC. He then (with his army's backing) got himself appointed Dictator for as long as he wanted -- turned out to be about 2.5 years. (Until that time, the title of Dictator was appointed by the Senate in...

7 Civs and a small map? Kinda leaves those who play an isolationist strategy out in the cold, eh? But I guess that's the whole point of a variable game of the month -- put us into situations we may not have tried lately (or ever). ------------------ No better friend, no worse enemy.

First post. I had a good time with this game. Didn't do near as well as I ought to have. Didn't land on AC until 1964. This is my first GOTM. Am looking forward to the next. ------------------ No better friend, no worse enemy.
