OK, I finally found a link on the main site home page which led me to a post about migration to a new webhosting service. " The current migration affects everything else what is on the server too, which includes HOF, GOTM, Polycast, Modcast, the Modiki, The Scenario League, the sites of...

Hi, reiterating my hope that the mods are all doing OK. Health and happiness are of the foremost importance. As for the Civ 5 Hall of Fame, it has been down for about a week now. Inaccessible. Just posting here in hopes someone knows something about the situation. Thanks.

Hi all, I have been dealing with some health issues in our family, so I have not been plugged in here lately. I went to check on gauntlets and see that none have been posted since March's ended. I hope all is well with aafritz and the other mods. If the mods need any volunteers to help out...

Hi, any chance on a brief extension of this for a day or three? Have had computer issues for a few days and am trying to get this one in.

Hi, cross posted this to Civ5 main forum in BillyB's thread re: Win 11 issues-- Since the latest Win 11 update, game wouldn't launch. Searched Steam forums which took me to reddit for this fix. It worked for me. Hope it helps those of you looking for a quick fix. You can search reddit if need...

Yes, the executables are a problem after the latest Win 11 update. From reddit-- What's happening When clicking 'Play', Steam will try to update the Civilization V executable files, which is necessary due to the removal of the 2K launcher. However, this process will fail most of the time...

Haha, no worries. When I realized I needed Babylon as the foe, I rushed to get a game in at the end of the month -- Did One City without clicking the OCC - Oops! aafritz took down this gauntlet fair and square. Nice! Well, I played by the spirit of the rules at least, :-).

Managed to do even better against Babylon. They spawned on the same long island as me, so I kept poaching their settlers and workers to throttle their development and insure I could build whatever wonder I wanted. You need the key wonders to finish sub T-700 on this one. Good luck to anyone...

Oops, just realized Babylon was the required opponent... At least I know my strategy... Back to the well for one more go 😅

Always up for a good 1 city challenge. I went for India as my opponent on this one, and chose islands option within Ice Age to limit opponent sprawl. On Immortal, I don't want a warlike and/or city-spamming civ, and with one city, I would rather just play nice and get trade routes and gold for...

Happy New Year (and Lunar New Year) to all! I got a sub-T100 game on this one, thanks to Alexander. Good luck if you are getting these in.

Nice! Those Fractal maps often have 1 or 2 civs on an outlying island unfortunately.

Surpised no one else tried this, if this is the Tiny King Venice gauntlet thread. . A Tiny Map game never feels onerous!

Yes, the toughest part of this gauntlet was finding all the AI civs in a reasonable time. Had to send out scouts/horsemen and triremes to far-flung places ASAP. I think on Quick setting that you cannot depend on taking out "runaway" culture civs. Conquest takes a bit too long on Quick, when...

Boreal Maps are often tough, but if you settle in the nice pocket or two that exist on the usual map, I think you you can do all right, especially since that means the AI civs have much tougher terrain to build on. Having nearby civ(s) to conquer early is always key for me on Boreal, as their...
