Fastest space win

[TheMeInTeam]

My apologies if this point has already been made.

In this case, the spaceship was launched on turn 366 (if I am reading the table correctly). In a normal speed game, turn 366 would be around AD 1946. Still impressive, but not so unbelievable.

This reminds me of the time oyzar told me a 15 turn war on quick "wasn't that fast" because of the years it took. That despite the fact that 15 turn wars are about as fast as you can reasonably take a 10 city civ down....! Game speed balance is badly screwed enough that it varies pretty badly between all the speeds (normal and epic have the least variance/imbalances between the two, but they certainly exist even there). Quick is by far the hardest speed to war on.

It's not apples to apples. Of course, marathon is the worse culprit as the scaling is deliberately set to favor units on marathon (massive unit production bonus to humans and AIs alike...although only one side takes advantage).

I bet he'd only be 200 or so years (not turns) later on normal speed. The vast majority of what was produced was not units.

Unit movement should really scale somehow. I'd happily play quick, if it wasn't COMPLETE trash for war that is.

Once I finish my "Cathy does it all ways" series I'm tempted to do a series of quickies since there's hardly any games like that in this forum. They are hard though

I have 2/3 of EQM or more already, and most of those are OCC immortal games on quick, with PAs on.

Oddly enough, I got every victory type that way inadvertently except domination. Yes, even conquest.

Of course, one HAS to have a legit game here and there, such as g major 40, which I scraped out .

I'm thinking about proper games though

What's proper is debateable. It's easy to mass up assumptions, but ultimately there is a fairly exhaustive, agreed upon set of rules in the hall of fame, and what I suggest lies within the boundaries of those rules. Essentially, this means that such a HoF submission is just as proper as any other.

Although you won't be lighting up the front page that way, after all .

How many turns/years does the additions in Bts add to the end game of space victory over vanilla.
