GoldBerg's scenario is very good I must say, Im on 1100 AD now. If you think it's very hard and lose just try again!

It is very different than playing a normal game, much more interesting. Every single enemy civ is big, not puny ones that die in 3260 BC.
This lead to a game where there isn't one dominant civ, but alot of competitive civs. I predict that there will be still competition even in 2000 AD more than one civ.

*.txt is NO TEXT file!

rename Civil0.txt into Civil0.map

...sorry, PRiNCE level game save file is still lost due civfanativs' server changes,

[GoldBerg]

• Shift-56 CHEAT
  Shift-56 (sometimes shift 1 to 8) cheat, only available in 474.01.
  It was/is the player-test mode for Microprose play testers.

  Refresh the map after pressing Shift 5-6 (or SHiFT + % + ^ + t + t)
  (by moving the cursor or pressing t twice)
  and you will see the map of the whole world.
  You can click on the cities of other players and unfortify their troops
  and sell their city improvements
  
  F7 will show you the development profile of each civilization, showing you all their advances and allowing you to see if they have a vendetta against you.
  
  F8 shows you the powergraph and allows you to see a replay up to that point.
  
  F9 shows numbers representing the attack points, defense points, and 3 of the cities the computer uses to calculate battle, on each continent (along with giving the size of each continent in land squares.
  
  F10 shows a complete world map.
  
  The other function keys sometimes do their normal functions,
  but they mess up the display a lot of the time...

• "SAVEGAME" CHEAT (save a game at critical phase or everytime, load the save game again and try any action again and again until the result satisfies you - for example the hut change to a city, you win the fight against an opponent ...and so on...)

  The Save Game Cheat
  Apart from the obvious reasons for saving regularly. It is well known that the computer cheats when it comes to World Wonders. They appear to be awarded randomly to any city the computer likes. If one gets awarded, it is possible to go back to your last save, and the chances are that it won't be awarded again for a while.
  
  Another use for the save option is when you are having problems attacking your enemies because of an uncooperative senate.
  
  * 1. Have a revolution
  * 2. Attack whoever you wish
  * 3. Save the game
  * 4. Reload it
  * 5. You will be prompted for the type of government you require

• "WATERBRiDGE" CHEAT (use a ship and up to 2 settlers to build railroad tracks on water -> additional trade/science/happy points on water squares)

  The Settler/Railroad at Sea Cheat
  Have a settler in a ship.
  Command the ship to "U"nload.
  Command the settler to "R"oad.
  Click on the ship. (I'm assuming you have a mouse)
  Click on the settler's icon in the pop-up, "waking up" the settler
  Press some key or click elsewhere to clear the pop-up (I press "R")
  Go back to the step of commanding the settler to "R"oad.
  Once the settler completes a phase (road or rail) the ship underneath
  it must move once, to make it willing to start again.
  I find it best to use *two* settlers; for each sea square one builds
  the road, the other builds the rail; then move the ship. With two ships
  and a ship movement cheat (q.v.) there is no theoretical limit to how
  much of the ocean can be railroaded in a single turn
  ---Bob O'Bob

• SETTLER CHEAT (start any 'settler action' over & over again until (for example)
  the road is build, the hills change to mines, the jungle change to grassland, the grassland is irrigated in one turn)

  The Settler Cheat
  Most settler functions take from 2 to 12 turns to accomplish. Any of them can be accomplished in one turn by putting the settler a square, pressing R or M or I or whatever, clicking on the settler to make it blink again (which seemingly aborts the function) and pressing R again. Keep repeating this process until the road or irrigation is finished. If you turn on the End-of-Turn feature, this helps you perform the desired function in one turn. Otherwise you could just keep some nearby piece blinking so that the turn doesn't end before you've milked the cheat for all it's worth. Irrigating swamp takes 10 or 11 turns so this cheat is real handy.

• TERRAFORM CHEATS
  will be detected. don't use TERRAFORM to cheat!!!

the reason(s) to name these cheats is
you just might guess that some contestants/opponents did use -for example- the savegame cheat or settler cheat, but that's all...
so everyone may use these cheats - if you don't, you may lose -
don't come around here complaining: 'i do not cheat, blah blah blah...'
you have to savegame cheat, settler-one-turn cheat , maybe waterbridge...
Period.

... huge in what way? Did you figure out a way to make the map bigger?

no - it's as earth in size.
everything's earthlike here with the difference,
that the other tribes won't kill each other the first 1000/2000 years (or so)
and develop cities and technologies before they fight each other.

your chance is to go

1. as fast as possible to catch some french cities to expand
or
2. wait and develop knowledge and money (not TOO long... )

the other AI tribe civs will grow HUGE ...
the only chance here is strategy.

i suggest this as GOTM ( = Game of the Month December 2005 )

1. goal: survive 'til 1750 AD
2. goal: WiN against the other CiVFANATiC members by

a)
score / percentage at 1750 AD ?

b)
# of 'english' inhabitants at 1750 AD ?

discuss?

 

[Tenochtitlan]

I played it, im in 600 somethin BC. i have a dozen or more cities, on the bigger island. Mongols bothering me. Massive produciton of chariots and catapults. Trying to hit split the cyan blue civ by hittin they capital (check me location and youll know why im sayin it like that ) paranoia.

Tenochtitlan, as far as i remember it isn't possible to split an empire within civ.1.dos as long as ALL (start)tribes are still in the game.
as far as i remember the splitted empire consists of the old tribe and another one of a different color - but that isn't possible as long as all tribes/colors are still in the game...?

 

[Tenochtitlan]

I know I destroyed french, and some other civ destroyed german

 

[GoldBerg]

I know I destroyed french, and some other civ destroyed german

so it's easy: you did destroy one tribe
and another tribe did destroy the other one of same color.

BUT
you need ANOTHER color's dead civ to create an empire split.
if all other colors still are in the game,
there's no split possible.

you can conquer that tribe
and after this
'the 2nd same-colored tribe' appears somewhere on the map
and no empire-split is possible...

1752 AD
Russians did considerable damage to my larger island.
Decided to build UN and make peace, and now I am buying my island back slowly

American civ was split and eliminated early and I took over the island.

Pretty cool, I will continue and take over by the time its 2005 AD. I might post the update later.

180BC: I finished off the French. Had a incursion by the Mongols beat them back. Don't remember if I saw any notice of the Germans being destroyed. Did an attack on the Russian capital and they split. I am playing at the king level. I have not changed from Despotism.

 

[Tenochtitlan]

I am playing at the king level.

PSHHHH!

The challenge was emperor!

Just playing for the fun. The challenge is all yours. Just wanted to show the split.

...thanks for screenshot, Dack!

AS i HAVE 'TOLD' before here at thread -
you (or any AI Civ) first have to conquer the French (darkBLUE).

this did happen, i see the french cities are now english.

-now 'normally' the Germans (darkBLUE) will appear
this didn't happen for some reason (THAT reason would be interesting!!!)-

in this case
(the 2nd tribe of the same color is missing)
you can split an(other) 'empire'
by conquering it's capital...

i did remove the empereor files because
moscow and london weren't able to build ships
because i did use an older TERRAFORM version
with a bug for seasides (that were formerly landsides)

Spoiler :

obsolete

i did correct the PRiNCE file (again):

London and Moscow are now able to build ships.

great one.
i did take a look at your wars
(with civ.exe 474.01 shift-5-6 'retire >>> fast replay')
with the russians 'til 1752
...
it's like what'd happen in europe's history: a millenium of war.

and the best part (in this game):
the mongols *kept the russians busy* (for some hundred years)
- ...otherwise...

don't forget about that...

If so, when do we get the results? Or is this GOTM still open?

So I am not too late after all!

I have played the game. I made a small mistake though. I never saved the game, and when I suddenly won it was too late
So I don’t have any save game file too prove my score. All I have is my notes and the replay file. Is that enough?

...uhm...
... NO ...

((i am sure) 'we' ('all') want to see your game ( at least that *.sve & *.map file
short before your victory
if you don't know
if it happens next turn...? )).

i think to look at each others' savegames / REPLAY ANIMATiON
is at least THE FUN with GOTQ (Game Of The Quarter)?

 

[Pikachu]

Darn, you should put in a reminder that we have to remember to save the game just before we win or loose

What are the GOTQ rules anyway? Can I play the game once more and use my save game from my second try in the competition?
