G-Major XXX

[Denniz]

[img=right]http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/170/hofgauntlet.jpg[/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: Diplomacy (though all victory conditions must be enabled)
• Difficulty: Emperor
• Map Size: Standard
• Map Type: Archipelago
• Speed: Standard
• Leader: Greece (Alexander)
• Opponents: Any
• Version: SV8
• Date: 2nd November to 1st December 2012

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

this one sounds pretty fun. I can't wait for GnK HoF, but ill give this one last 'vanilla' run.

I just played this one, but after reading this post I worry that it won't count - does your version of Civ5 have to be prior to Gods and Kings or is it just that you can't play with or against any of the leaders in GnK? I sure hope it's the latter!

You just have to disable the G&K stuff and DLC, except Mongolia.

Turn 260....with mistakes. I only really had two cities. Plopped down a 3rd city on turn 202 to pick up some coal and 28 oil. Didn't neeed either with the citystate allies, truly a waste of time. If I had planted one or two more cities by turn 120 or so, I think my time would be lowered by 10-20 turns. Grew my capitol to 42 pop. Thought I would need every hammer I could get, but a gifted engineer from a neighboring citystate changed that. 1 turn to build U.N. with $5,000 the turn before the vote. Made allies with all and declared war on all civs. The end.

First attempt t. 220. Did it with G&K. It is allowed, yes? Anyway, settled 4 cities and captured Copenhagen, which happened to be on my island. Got beaten to PT, which made me finish 10 turns later than i expected. Signed 2 RAs, which were rather weak. Well, every little bit counts.. Did a detour to patronage, while waiting for reneissance. Instant rationalism would be much stronger, of course, yet it is somewhat tricky on islands. Got to try again .

Made allies with all and declared war on all civs.

Sorry for the question, i am new to HOF. Is this within rules?

 

[Denniz]

This Gauntlet is Vanilla only. We'll run one with G&K allowed next month.

Just played a nice OCC game, really looking forward to see if the result is good enough for a medal

 

[vexing]

sub 200 occ requires a really strong start

 

[HideInLight]

Yea well I am far from sub 200, thought it could have a fighting chance anyway, probably not though

 

[HideInLight]

Is this closed or not yet?

 

[Denniz]

It is closed. I just need to tweak the result to make sure no G&K slipped in there.
