Conquest 03: Saves now available!

[denyd]

Dianthus my compliments on CRPMapStat

A couple of things about it for future releases:

1. It would be nice if it could somehow show available luxuries to be traded.
2. Sometimes it mentions workers available, but then the AI has none to trade
3. It continues to display AI that are destroyed
4. The pollution tab doesn't highlight when there is pollution

Thanks again for this very helpful and time saving product

 

[Dianthus]

@denyd, this is the wrong thread really, but...

1. Agreed. This will happen when I can detect available luxuries.
2. Are you using the latest version? I fixed a problem where Workers were shown when the AI doesn't have a city on the same continent as you (a little known prerequisite of Worker trading).
3. Again, are you using the latest version? This should be fixed.
4. Have you got an example .sav?

In the submision form, I need to submit a timeline file. Whats that?

 

[AlanH]

Which form are you looking at?

If you are submitting a QSC entry (Quick Start Challenge) you are required to submit your 1000 BC save and to include a time line - typically a turn by turn report on how you played the first 80 turns. All we require for a GOTM submission is a save file for the turn after the victory ceremony.

Oh, thanks!

how do i know if i started a quick start game, all i know is that i started with 2 settlers and 2 workers, and that it has been quite a few turns, i dont know what quick start is, i just downloaded and played, can somebody advise me as to if i must give a turn report and what that is?

The QSC is just a part of the normal GOTM. The scoring is done completely differently though and is taken at 1000BC. You then continue from that point and submit the final game when you win (or lose).

[Edit: The last QSC to be scored was GOTM20. The results can be found <here>. The staff are working on automating the scoring system. GOTM20 had to be score by hand, and that's quite a bit of work!]

If you want to submit the completed GOTM/COTM you don't need a timeline, just your end of game save taken after the victory ceremony.

As Dianthus says, the Quick Start Challenge is just a way to compare the first 80 turns of your GOTM/COTM against other players. It requires a save at 1000BC and a timeline. It's voluntary and you can ignore it if you just want to submit the GTOM/COTM at the end of the game.

I just started this GotM today, and so far I didn't get my rear-end handed to me. I even managed to fend off an assault from a neighbor

I do not expect to win though, for while I am playing careful and defensive, I haven't played Civ for a while and before that the highest I tried was Regent...

 

[LeSphinx]

I do not remenber if I able to play this month in Conquest Class instead of Open class as usual?

[LeSphinx]

Thanks

[Dianthus]

As long as you've never finished in the top half of the table you're allowed to submit a Conquest class game.

 

[LeSphinx]

I've finish 18/116 in the GOTM30: so it's on the top half.
But in the 2 previous COTM 01 and 02, I've finish 77/185 and 103/167!
Seems that I can not play in conquest! That 's it ?
Ough! I'm returning from holidays and I not in a moud for a great COC challenge in Demi god level as I never play at this level in COC!

[Dianthus]

You could play Conquest, you just can't submit it .

 

[flexo]

Never finished in the top half? Well I played Conquest game anyway (on this kind of level I have never finished top half) and submitted it, last time I finished in the top half it was many, many, maaany months ago.

 

[LeSphinx]

Ok thanks Dianthus.

Hi, I haven't played GOTM since GOTM24 (Korea) and I'm with a doubt here on submitting my QSC.

Is it compulsory to submit a timeline? As I knew, when I used to play the GOTM (around an year ago) it was optional, and used to give a 25% bonus for the player's QSC score. But what about now? It's because I'm trying to submit my .sav for the QSC but it's not accepting.

If I really need a timeline, then I won't be able to submit the game. It's already played, I don't remember details. And I won't be able to play the QSC in the future because I don't have the patience to write a timeline (sorry... I swear I tried, but when I write while playing, it steals my concentration from the game )

 

[ainwood]

Submit it anyway. Timelines are preferable, but we're just happy to get entries at the moment (trying to sort-out getting the scoring backlog cleared).
