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:

• Expansion: Brave New World
• Victory Condition: Science (though all victory conditions must be enabled)
• Difficulty: Emperor
• Map Size: Tiny
• Map Type: Great Plains
• Speed: Standard
• Leader: Shoshone (Pocatello)
• Opponents: Any
• Version: SV8
• Date: 1st to 31st August 2024

The earliest finish date wins, with score as a tiebreaker.

This is a fun one! and I have miraculously managed to spawn in the mountains to the west, with iroquois to the east, and france and england near the coast - so a pretty accurate historical role-play

Finished it at turn 265 (1775 AD) - not hugely proud of this finish time, but I did not min-max in the most optimal way after the early game.
Particularly could have been quicker if I had built more workers early - I was surprised to see an unimproved cattle in modern era! maybe I should automate one or two workers to fill important gaps I miss!

Still, it's the highest score of all of my HOF submissions

Left this open through today, and I can add a couple of more days if anybody needs it.

The cattle were hiding behind your city banner, right? That's where I miss them.

And your game beat mine, I'll be submitting a T284. Really wanted to give it another shot, but just didn't have time.

You might be right about that!
Ooh does this mean I'd be in for a medal?
Hof seems rather quiet at the moment - is it just the holidays do you think?

Yeah, I think summer (northern hemi, obviously) does that to people. I have been trying to get an update to the HOF done, but there are a couple things needing to be done by others who have been away. Hopefully I'll be able to do it this weekend (fingers crossed!)
