I apologise for the stupid question, but can the HOF mod be used. I read somewhere that no mods are allowed in the HOF games.

Cheers.

Not a stupid quesiton. HOF mod is the only approved mod. You are welcome to use it.

Questions:

Do we turn off all other victory conditions?

Can we use any Landmass type? or is that Archipelago too?

Do we turn off all other victory conditions?

No. HOF entries must have all victory conditions enabled or they don't qualify for the tables.

Can we use any Landmass type? or is that Archipelago too?

Landmass type is at player's discretion, so long as the continents option is set to Archipelago.

I was getting bored with the game but this has my interest. You should get a lot more participation in this gauntlet.

Good luck everyone.

 

[Kalleyao]

Archipelago? I have no idea how to win this?

 

[jesusin]

I suggest using ships ;-)

I have a question, may my civ be Rome, even if one of my oponents is Rome too?

 

[Kalleyao]

I suggest using ships ;-)

Good suggestion but if there's any one tile cities I can't win with only ships, I need a bunch of amphibious units.

I have a question, may my civ be Rome, even if one of my oponents is Rome too?

I think repeated leaders are not allowed.

Sorry, but that would be a no.

What is meant by the other civ? Random or my choice?

Your choice, so long as there are no repeated leaders.

Good to see you in IV, btw.

This looks interesting. I'm not particularly good at island maps, so this should be a learning experience.

Quick question: I assume that the official win will be given to the highest score and not the earliest finish, right?

No, it is fastest finish.
