Thanks DS for the results and kcd for the fun map! I wasn't having a lot of time playing Civ now due to RL, but I guess I might be a bit more...
So I attacked really slowly in the end.. Declared war at Zara Yaqob at 520AD. After capturing 2 cities, he capped at 640AD and I accepted because...
The Ramesses one didn't work out for me (blundered too badly in a war) so I switched to this one. Hunting -> AH -> BW start. Built GLH and went...
Congratulations on all the winners and especially the new eptathletes!
Congratulations to all the winners and especially those who handled the Barbs with style! Thanks kcd for this really fun map.
I did found all the latter religions. Despite losing the gold city early and spending way too long to re-take it, the tech still got way ahead...
I did very badly in this one, but I lasted enough to push the submit button. Going for culture, one would have to realize that the 3 older...
I also got fooled hard.. I didn't kill the barb galley and then with the first galley 2 longbows descended on my capital which only had a warrior....
Thanks kcd for a fun map! I'm so intrigued by the fact that SE asia could double up as the English channel! Very creative indeed! Feudalism...
Thanks nocho! I said 250BC is late is in comparison to a "pure" HA rush. Happy to get a kudos from you! I've been trying to learn your game ever...
TL;DR: I did the horse archer one and it worked. Conquest 1180AD Thought about doing the horse archer rush since it's Prince. But with 7 rivals I...
There's more than plenty of food so missing the fish was not a problem. It definitely delayed GLH, which I built really late, close to AD. But...
Congratulations everyone! LowtherCastle's 155 hours gold medal is surely a wonder to behold!
I know where it is by the end, but I don't really remember how. I definitely didn't scout for it. Maybe I traded maps with Arges/Brontes after...
Hey DS, actually some of us won... The GOTM system somehow said we lost to the Ottomans (which is Zeus).. If you go to the replay, you can see...
Quick game. Built Oracle for CS and GLH. Pyramids were built at 500BC by Mehmed which was quite early for Noble. I thought I was teching too fast...
Continuing from the 1000AD save. Achilles is quickly dispatched by 1060AD. I was amassing another army in the meanwhile to attack Sarpedon....
So the big decision this 1000 years is when to attack Achilles. I debated a lot whether I should go early with my swords to try to see if I can...
Let me kick this off. I played but didn't submit BOTM 200 since I got wiped out by the first barb wave, and saw Poseidon pounded equally heavily...
Thanks for the game! Having played GOTM 22 (my second-to-last GOTM before the 12-years hiatus) to a bitter defeat, it's a nice to win a medal in...
