COTM 17 results & Congratulations

[ainwood]

In something that was a cross between an archepelago and a continents map, Karasu again provided players with an interesting challenge. The difficulty was stepped-up a bit, but it was a great map getting the best out of the Gallic swordsmen.

In contrast to the close finishes in recent games, this one was pretty clear-cut. hendrikszoon smoked the field, beating second-place by nearly 1000 points as he gained a fairly early conquest victory. Dynamic milked his way to the silver medal and the cow award, and leopalas rounded-out the award winners with his domination victory and bronze medal.

Summary of Medal Winners:

hendrikszoon: 390 AD Conquest Victory, 12,677 points.

Dynamic: 2050 AD Histographic Victory, 11,783 points.

leopalas: 560 AD Domination Victory, 11,586 points.

[Obormot]

Congrats to all medal and award winners, especially to Dynamic for getting his eptathlon in a perfectly right time: just before civ4 . (And getting a silver medal after using fast milking method in the last 300 turns is just amazing .) and to hendrickszoon for submitting yet another perfect game - that stellar gpr score is well deserved.

 

[hendrikszoon]

Congrats to all the winners, especially to Dynamic, the winner of the Epthalon.

I will never win the Civ III Epthalon, because this was my last COTM game. But this doesn't mean that I will not play any GOTMs in the future. I only switch to Civ IV GOTMs and I don't have the time to play both.

So I hope that I meet again all the COTM players in the Civ IV GOTMs.

Almost 1000 points, and over 600 years (62 turns). Amazing, simply amazing.

Equally amazing to milk your way to a silver medal. To see a true eptathlete in action makes me feel like a thief, trying to get a statue of my own.
I'll be sure to read your spoiler for this game with a looking glass in preparation of my own cow game.

Congratulations to all other winners as well!

And finally, it's nice to see that yet again my standings in the GPR increase by not submitting the COTM.

 

[leopalas]

Great game Hendrikszoon. You really give another dimension to the COTMs. Also a great game from Dynamic, i wish i could milk a game that way Some great dates for the awards. I understand i only got the Domination award cause MiniMe decided to go for 100K... On the other hand im very worried... Dynamic´s achievement and now Hendrikszoon statement have something of a announced death for CivIII xOTMS. I know there are still 2 or 3 players close to the heptathlon, so those should be playing a bit more but the submission list will probably get shorter and shorter

 

[Niklas]

Don't worry too much leopalas. GOTM has seen a steady drain of players to COTM for quite some time, but it's still thriving. True, all the very best players may not be around there anymore, but it's still a really fun competition to be in.

 

[Dynamic]

Congrats to all the winners, especially to hendrikszoon, who again got the strong victory with nobody near!

 

[Jove]

Congrats Dynamic on all your achievements around here. You're a real champ!
Congrats Hendrickszoon on such a killer gold medal.
Congrats MiniMe. Once again I'm handed a 2nd place for the 100k award. Very nicely done. Thanks for keeping these awards honest!
