Done - I submitted two days ago (hopefully successfully, I had completely forgotten how to do it!). Now the big question is: Another GOTM or not another GOTM...

I suddenly got the urge to play Civ2 after a long hiatus and decided to play GOTM 152. I had a lot of fun (which in my case means lots of military operations all over the world) and decided to not pay any attention to my GOTM score which is probably lousy, I was a bit rusty and I also could...

I've been somewhat busy recently so I temporarily 'retired' from Civ but now I'm back and WOW! - the game is finished not too many turns after I played. Great work and I'm happy to have started the large scale war (though admittedly our forces were spread pretty thin at the end of my turns)...

I'm finally finished, this took a *lot* of time and was the most interesting game I have played for years. For a fairly long time I didn't know if I was going to win the game but in the end I succeeded after huge military operations. I had about 40 howitzers when the military ops peaked. The...

I don't think we ever decided on a landing game and it would be rather tedious anyway - just an extension of a conquest game because we would probably start by capturing all enemy cities except for one. The extra time a landing game would take might be better spent on another and different...

And the real meaning of the teaser above: * Our empire is a mess at the moment Things were messy at the end of the war with units scattered all over the map, disrupted shipchains, unhappy cities etc. * Several high priority techs acquired Steel, tactics and espionage. * Cities...

Some observations: Delhi has the pyramids, colossus, women's suffrage and Marco Polo. I want all of these ASAP, we'll get some of $$ by selling granaries (and no maintainance costs), a freight production center and I want to know more about the Carthaginians (no embassy). We can get lots...

This has taken an awful lot of time for me to finish but I'm now finally finished playing. I will post the game plus log on Friday or Saturday at last. In my opinion this has been by far the most eventful set of turns so far. A lot has happened...

Less than two turns left to play so it's time for some news: * Our empire is a mess at the moment * Several high priority techs acquired * Cities captured and cities lost * A tech I didn't want the AI to have acquired from us * Wonders built and wonders captured * Anarchy, communism and...

One thing I should have mentioned: There is a huge army of barbs around Nonnebakken. It's very tempting to go over there and buy some of these to get NONE units...

I have the game and should start playing soon - I don't expect to finish until next year though ;-). An awesome set of turns by Prof. Garfield, I had already decided that I wanted to capture Leo but we already have it. After a quick look it seems to me the best strategy is to continue a full...

I play following Prof. Garfield. I prefer waiting until he finishes - a 2 week delay isn't the end of the world :).

Great set of turns on the Japanese island, I'm happy to see the military operations I started againast Japan continuing to go well. I agree with Prof. Garfield that we should try to attack the Romans but it must happen immediately. They are researching conscription and will soon have it. An...

Any news of our glorious empire?

Military operations in Japan and what I'd like to do there next
