Hi Ozbenno,
I wanted to thank you for the work you put into maintaining these pages and all the statistics.

And then a question: Now in April, I have submitted a few more and, pending your approval, I have at least one Deity/Standard size win with each and every of the 43 civs. I could not find any other player that would have done the same, even if I checked the HOF TOP20 players. Are you aware of anybody?

 

[Ozbenno]

@aafritz17 - any thoughts on the above?

My only three thoughts are Dines (who played a lot of Deity Domination games but probably not that many) NiceOneEmlyn who played so much Deity, but often on Huge maps, and drinnairb who also played Huge maps often.

No, I checked them. NiceOneEnlyn has 36 Deity wins but 1/3 are on Duel maps, Dines has 29 wins and dribnairb 25. Vadalaz has 32 wins and you have 31 yourself. All of you have many very impressive wins which are of a much higher quality than my games though.

Wow, that's impressive, @Nizef. Way to go!

I haven't been around long enough to know about some of those earlier player's work. I imagine I would only be able to research the same way you did. If you've looked at the Top 20, that seems like it would cover all the possibilities.

Concur that your accomplishments are amazing, Nizef!

Playing on Deity level is challenging, period. I find Deity tough at all points. Winning a Deity game is worthy of praise, no matter the score or time. Winning so many is seriously impressive!
