G-Major 48

[Ozbenno]

[img=right]http://www.civfanatics.net/methos/hof/staff/gauntlet.gif[/img]While the general Hall of Fame is an ongoing competition, we like to run time-definite competitions between updates that we call Gauntlets. Standard Hall of Fame rules (*) still apply, but any games meeting the settings will be counted towards the Gauntlet.

(*) Please read the >> HOF rules << BEFORE playing!​

Settings:

• Victory Condition: Conquest (though all victory conditions must be enabled)
• Difficulty: Emperor
• Starting Era: Ancient
• Map Size: Standard
• Map Type: Archipelago
• Speed: Normal
• Civ: Aztec
• Opponents: Must include America (Washington), China (Qin Shi Huang), England (Elizabeth), Inca (Huayna Capac), Mali (Mansa Musa), Russia (Catherine)
• Version: 1.74.003
• Date: 25th March 2009 to 25th April 2009

Must not play as Inca.
The earliest finish date wins, with score as a tiebreaker.

Montezuma and the Accountant Wars

Montezuma has no need for accountants, unless their skulls are to adorn his extravagant headress. Your job is to ensure that the world is rid of these pesky bean counters.

The idea behind this gauntlet is that on an archipelago map, all the financial civs receive 3 gold for every sea square, giving them a big advantage against poor old Monty. It came from a SG I was in years ago. As the lastest G-Minor is BtS only, this is Vanilla only (just like the SG), so dust off those old disks and prepare for the slaughter.

 

[cabert]

meh

I have enough archipelago behind me.
But I need a good montezuma game, so I may try this one.

Doesn't seem too hard, except the vanilla only (= no vassals!)

 

[KingMorgan]

25th to 25th March 2009.

Is this game still open?

I'm guessing April 25th?

 

[Denniz]

Is this game still open?

I'm guessing April 25th?

Yeah, it is through April 25th. Updated the OP.

 

[PaulisKhan]

looks like a normal speed archipelago conquest game isn't at the top of peoples priority list >.<

Or is it the vanilla aspect? (I know for myself I haven't touched a vanilla game since BTS came out)

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I'll give this a go but I'm currently busy with GMaj47, and GMin69 is asking for another attempt as well.

I need a conquest victory at Emperor but I expect this game will be very difficult

Yes yes, poor monty and his 2x speed whip cycles and access to amphibious with 2 promos have no hope . Let's have a pity party as we slaughter everything. EMO Monty! YES!

 

[ParadigmShifter]

This is vanilla only so no UB and jags don't get free woodsman, just a bonus defending in jungle...

 

[Ozbenno]

They are resourceless though, handy on archipelago (which can be resource short).

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Is there a write up thread for the original SG?

 

[Ozbenno]

Right here. Was slightly different.

 

[TheMeInTeam]

I missed that this is 'nilla. I'm not going back to 'nill ever, except if I ever get the urge to finish EQM over a weekend or so.

 

[SirDrake]

Please read the >> HOF rules << ...

Opponents: Must include...

Can we add more opponents, up to the HoF maximum (10) for a Standard-sized map? I'm thinking Monty might do better with a nearby warm-up slaught-- er, a close trading partner.

[ParadigmShifter]

I believe you can add opponents up to the max as long as you have the mandatory ones as well.

 

[Ozbenno]

Yes, just to confirm you can add opponents as long as the mandatory ones are in and you don't exceed the HOF maximum (which is 10).

Time to give this one a try I think.

 

[BananaLee]

I haven't played Vanilla in ages, but I'd probably try this on BTS (i.e. not as part of the Gauntlet).

 

[The-Hawk]

OK, assuming I didn't mess up the setup, I think I've submitted a winning entry for this gauntlet. 1912 AD. I don't play archi military much, so this was a pretty good challenge for me. I didn't play very well, and ultimately a couple of AI's got to destroyers. This made amphibious wars a pita. Oh well, got it done... long play time on this one.

 

[Ozbenno]

Well done. I'm not sure my attempt is going to work, will be a late victory if it is.

EDIT: Just realised my attempt has the wrong game settings. Not sure I can get one going again before the weekend.

 

[Denniz]

The Hawk wins this one with the only entry.

G-Major 48 - Conquest, Emperor, Standard , Archipelago with Aztec (See required opponents)
1^st The-Hawk 1912 AD

Congratulations Hawk!
