Beta HOF Rules/FAQ

I understand the requirement for a limit of 2 entries for any player on any table but have a question about my third entry in the Settler Duel Domination tables. My first two entries were for quick finishes while the third was for high score. Are the quick finish and high score tables actually seperate so I could have as many as 2 entries on each table? The faster the finish the lower the score in these games so the highest score game wouldn't be listed in the fastest finishes as it would be the third entry. At the same time the fastest finish wouldn't be listed in the highest score table as it would be the third entry. Of coures that presumes that all of these games actually in the top 10 in each catagory which may not be the case at the next update.

Each table is independent of the other tables. The scenario you described is correct.

This might have already been asked, but...

How long do we need to keep our game files after they have been submitted? According to my "My Submissions" it has already been accepted. Can we delete them once they have been accepted?

A limit of 2 entries for any player on any table?

So if a 3rd entry of the player has a higher score or faster finish will the old one be replaced?

 

[Big_Ben]

Yes, it will put your two highest scores on the table. That way you can try and beat your own times as well.

Yes, once accepted you're safe.

Quick question: Is "Regenerate Map" acceptable? Note: I'm refering to the "Regeneate Map" from the main menu. Thanks!

 

[Dianthus]

Yes, regenerate is allowed, just be careful to save the start file yourself. There's a bug that a new autosave isn't created when you regenerate.

Thanks! I didn't know about that bug.

Question: When I generate a map for playing Gaunlet VI and upload it to test the start file I get "GOTM starts not allowed " on the Map category.

I've tried with different map types. What could cause this?

It shouldn't do that for files you've generated yourself. Could you send an example file to hof@civfanatics.net?

Will exploit games be counted in score statistics in the permanent HoF?

My crystal ball into the future is a bit foggy today. (In other words, I have no idea.)

When I click the full update details link in previous update threads I'm shown the recent one. Where can I find past update information?

Currently it's not possible via the HOF site. That's something I've been intending to add for quite a while but not got around to it, even for the Civ3 HOF! Until I get around to it you'll have to look for the update threads in this forum.

Send in the 3560bc save with the rest and we'll take a look.

Will games lacking start files be accepted in permanent HoF?
