Well done everybody. We also have a double celebration ...

Happy birthday Gozpel

Oooohh, Ahhhh! Very interesting map. Thanks for posting it Dianthus! I think Xevious should get an honorary Peninsula Challenge Award.

It should be noted that I did palace jump to the cow fairly early. I would be interested to know how well the highest scorer that DIDN'T jump the palace did.

On Dianthus' map, my second city was at the dark blue 6, and 3rd at the cyan 3 SW of cow. The third city is where I jumped the palace to. If I had time, I'd replay to see how I'd do with an earlier cow placement, but I'm not sure I'll even finish GOTM33 at this point.

Happy birthday, Gozpel!

I did exactly that. I ended up 16th, all in all not too bad is it? But then again it's my first top-20 finish, so you'll hear no complaints from me!

Same for me on all counts, except my third city was directly south of the cow. Looking back on my game, I think settling near the spices second, rather than near the cow, was almost as big a mistake as not leaving the peninsula in the first place. But I won't complain about finishing 15th!

I stayed on the peninsula. No idea who was the highest placed of those us who did. We are a strange lot to have done it, but we could at least be referred to as the only real Dutch! Well, 19th suddenly seems a lot better. Thanks for that.

I might qualify for this (13th) unless Kemal beats me there too, does this mean I'm close to an award.

Here is your award

I got 18th staying on the Peninsular but with an early palace jump.
