Hi Noble Zarkon: I had a game rejected this time. When the game was finished I checked the Start File on the HOF page and got indeed an error in the Version row: "3.19 Unrecognized Install" in Red. But I could still upload and submit the game. Is this "Unrecognized Install" the reason for...

Nice, thank you! :)

Is the game really supposed to be a Space Race (so, old victory condition from Vanilla/Warlords), not a Space Colony (BTS)? I noticed that my submitted game wasn't recognized as submission for the gauntlet, I guess because I misread the victory condition and played a BTS Space Colony.

Yes, that's also my main reason why I consider to capitulate De Gaulle. Plus, I seem to have a window of opportunity right now: Roosevelt, my next target, just went to war as an ally of Ghandi who got war decced by Peter, and he moved a big amount of his forces away from my border towards...

Oh, good to know! I never noticed that. Hmmm, that formula, interesting! Thanks for this detailed analysis! "nc" is the number of cities I own, is that right? But that would mean that a vassal city actually adds only half of the "Num city maintenance" compared to a city that I own (because...

When a civ I am at war with offers capitulation is it a good decision to accept when aiming for domination victory? I'm currently playing a game where I have captured 3 cities from De Gaulle. He offers capitulation now but still has 5 cities (including Paris). The game started with 6...

Some more occasional visitors ;) At least I've scanned through the pages. Wow, that looks like a crazy huge game again! :crazyeye: Good luck! Actually I stranded here while googling for an explanation because in a current game something like this happened to me for the first time: Isn't...

The game was counted for the Challenge like 2 or 3 days later after I wrote my comment above. I don't know if someone added it manually or if it happened automatically. But there was definitely this delay of 2-3 days between the game moving to status "Accepted/Published" in my submission list...

Hm, my game was accepted and published but didn't count towards the Challenge result (my Game 6 slot in the Challenge is empty). If someone from the HOF staff reads this maybe you can update the Challenge table? I was late, but still in time I believe (Nov 25th submission date). Doesn't change...

For me it would be OK if the competition is extended so you can finish the game. After half a year a few days more or less don't matter in my opinion. Maybe it would be a different story if there would be a tight race and fight for the final ranking, but it has become quiet since months and it...

What a disappointment :( So much time spent with that slow and painful Marathon speed and watched the domination limit almost every turn, gifted cities to stay below Dom and then tired from all the boring Exec spreading I forgot just once to check the limit. The inevitable happened: 3 cities...

Finished with 450 AD. I had such a "Micropangaea" map mentioned above (Toroidal high sea solid shore line map with 366 land tiles). The downside was: no horses at all on the map and no close Copper. I decided to go for Iron Working after Bronze Working to see if I can get Iron at least or if...

Submitted 1510 AD. I chose a peaceful approach. No war at all during the whole game, just built 9 cities, lots of missionaries for 3 religions and the usual basic buildings, temples, cathedrals and wonders. One big mistake: I hadn't Marble and the only AI with double Marble was De Gaulle who...

Just completed a 1760 AD game. This map was quite tough to play. I tried 3 or 4 times to play with low sea level, but hell... this map is really huge. I had a game where I researched Pottery->Mining->Writing->Alpha->Math->Currency->around 50% of Code of Laws without trading any tech because I...

Hm, I'm just noticing two maybe important letters: "Can be bribed to war against AI". But I'm not an AI (I hope...). Is this attitude relevant at all? It seems to mean what attitude is required so that I can bribe some AI against another AI. But we are talking about the case if an AI can bribe...
