And a special mention: For the newcomers, Matrix was the first GOTM admin, back in the days where he manually opened every game, played the last turn and wrote down the score! He hasn't played for a long time, but had an unfortunate return - I believe an american warrior walked-in to his undefended capital...

Matrix: 3100 BC Conquest loss, 64 points.

Well done to all winners and all who took part!

Congratulations!!!

If I may ask, I noticed that the top 3 were fighting very early wars, some within the QSC time, was this because of the UU or do you always push the early wars?

 

[Mauer]

Congrats to all! Especially members of Team Mauer: Zamint3 (Top 10), Detlef Richter, and Alamo.

 

[whitecow]

CONGRATS!!!

early domanation victorys though! pretty impressive!

 

[samildanach]

Good Work on getting the results out so promptly again
I have a question about the GPR. I notice both Offas and High Deserts GPR hasn't been updated with their COTM1 scores. While my GPR includes my GOTM 32 score. Is the COTM to get its own ranking after all?

I was suprised to see Sir Pleb getting the diplo award. I thought he had no chance of winning it given the conditions he was playing with. Very Impressive
Congrats to Team Akots as well.

 

[AlanH]

The Global Rankings system hasn't been updated yet to incorporate COTM results. So it's ignoring them and just adding the classic games as they appear. I'll try to do some work on it this weekend.

I was only avg. but I killed all the AI on my Island before Mid age. Yes the UU.
After I had my island it took a lot of suicide galleys to meet the other civs, Maybe 1/3 of the way into the MA. So I changed my goal and went UN.

I think I was 5th highest Diplomatic.?

GA started with only 2 cities, UU 1 to 2 turns or settler in 2 or 3.



Edit: I broke every treaty I made with the civs (some on the same turn, end war get free city +gp then attack with next UU) on my island, but they were all gone when I meet the rest.


Congratulations!!! To all.

 

[Kuningas]

Three times in a round fourth place. Medals keep ignoring me.

Gongrats to all.

 

[ainwood]

That was still a pretty good effort! The map didn't really have an ideal starting point for a 20k Culture victory.

 

[eldar]

Great games, everyone. Smarting that I missed out on the low-scoring SS victory, though (despite launching a full 40 years later than the 'winner'!)

Neil.

 

[Xerol]

I was shooting for diplo but missed the UN by like 2 turns...at least i've got an award for something now though. There's no award for lowest-scoring histographic win though?

 

[maharaja]

Congratulations to all winners & loosers too (because I am one of them ).

A win is a win and lose is a lose......so a medal is a medal. This was my first GOTM (first game above warlord and 3rd game overall) and guess what....I got 'Highest scoring defeat' medal.......I love this game.....

so the Motto is either win or lose like me.....

 

[Karasu]

Congratulations to everyone who participates in this fantastic community

I echo Ainwood's salute to Matrix for his return and for submitting so unlucky a game -not many would have done that, including myself...

And to the winners of course. Every month I see finish date that border the ridiculous, or someone getting the fastest diplomatic award with an AW game...
When are we going to see earlier finish date than 6000 BC?

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I got a medal!!

I didn't think I had a prayer for a medal. In May, I thought it was was a sure thing. It wasn't. In June, I thought I had no chance, I did. Go figure.

It was for lowest scoring!

 

[Matrix]

Hehe, after all these years I finally got a price! Thanks for introducing me, ainwood. I haven't started the new GOTM yet. But I'm still a little lost in the number of different GOTM's. My policy is to have only one GOTM, so that everyone would fight for the same price every month. No offense there though, just a matter of choice.

So is there a Conquests GOTM without tweaks?

 

[Matrix]

Matrix was the first GOTM admin, back in the days where he manually opened every game, played the last turn and wrote down the score!

Man, you make it sound like I'm born in the 19th century!

We've kept the PTW/Vanilla one so that the Mac players (and other non-C3C players) aren't left-out.

Yep Starts on the first of the month. If you wannna play this months' one, you've got about a week. We're playing as the Dutch

 

[AlanH]

With Matrix's recent strategic approach a week should be plenty of time
