Nearly every one of my trade routes was internal, I had 4 or 5 per city by the end of the game, and I had 10 cities. I've heard that the trade routes I can set up with other civilizations are also limited by the number of trade routes the other city can support. This seemed to be true, because my trade income went up after gifting Currency away, but I'm not really sure that it wans't a result of soemthing else.

This Gauntlet has now concluded. Kuningas narrowly claimed first place with the same date (1680 AD) as jesusin, but with more points. Bozso77 took 3rd place with 1715 AD. G-Major 11 is now active, a large monarch cultural.

I am assuming my submissions didn't count for the Quattromasters because some were played with the .003 mod, but did I not get the last one in in time with the .004 mod? I only got my internet back on Tuesday night and thought I sent one in before midnight. What is the timezone that we go by for these babies?
All accepted games are counted towards your Quattromaster competition. Did you check under the 'Quattromaster' tab in your 'My Submissions'?
Sometimes we have to inform the server that the end time for the gauntlet needs to be extended, due to a late update. I'll see about fixing it. Did anyone else submit a G-Minor save that is not showing on the gauntlet page and should be?

Wow, I came second to last. How did I not come last? Amazing.
wow...I was just 6 turns from being #9...and to think, I could have saved at least 20 if I'd built IronWorks in my capital instead of the National Epic...
Congrats to the winners, I still can't figure out how you research that fast!

I can't even work out how Thrallia researched so fast, let alone how the people who beat him managed it.
Uh? 2nd place? Same date as the first one? I don't understand.
Congratulations, Kuningas. Would you write a few words about your game?
Maybe I should have played another game. 1Worker+0serttlers from huts is easily improvable. I never thought I was competing.
Hmmm. I suggest you compare your game to mine (because I have posted a lot of data from my game) or to others. You should pay attention to:
1.- Date you built your capital's Academy. (Of course your first GPeople was a GS, wasn't it?).
2.- Date you revolted to Bureaucracy.
3.- Date you built Oxford in the capital.
4.- Number of cities in 1000BC (you had at least 4, didn't you?).
5.- Number of cities in 1AD (you had at least 6, didn't you?).
6.- WW: you shouldn't waste good hammers in useless wonders like GLight... think carefully which Wonder you really need and go after 1 or 2 only.
7.- Number of cottages in 1000BC (anything different than 0 is ok).
8.- Number of cottages in 1AD. I don't know a good number, I was very slow this game.
9.- Can think of anything else right now...

Best date wins and score is used as a tie breaker.
I am sorry, Methos, I wasn't clear enough. My question was supposed to mean "where are the space experts?" or "how is it possible that someone that has never launched before, plays a test game and then a single game, can come second?". I am still surprised.

i found that interesting too! i know that you're a good player, but not only are you new to space, but most of your experience is at much higher difficulty levels. in some ways playing at warlord is harder than emperor+, if that's what you're used to, especially a game guaranteed to be long and deep into the tech tree like this one. you just can't rely on tech trades, that ends up changing my entire strategy. i'm glad you got to reach the stars once, and i'm not surprised that it confirmed for you the types of victories that you do like!
grats to all who won the gauntlet. and to me, submitting a victory before the gauntlet closes = winning, so grats to 29 people
Space race is 95% fast tech. Unless you don't plan your space parts very well, you should finish a few turns after you finish teching. So to be a "space expert" is just knowing how to tech fast. You are already an expert at that from other victory conditions. In a couple more attempts you'd be a space expert too.
I'd have to say AAA (a.k.a. beccnoa) is the reigning small map space expert since he (she) holds every HOF spot for small maps with the newest (amazing) 1509 AD on Diety. It's a shame this person didn't attack this gauntlet.
I only got half way through my attempt. RL got in the way and I haven't finished yet. I really liked my map, but I got 0 worker, 0 settlers, so I didn't take it too seriously. I remember that gauntlet on settler difficulty where I wouldn't even play unless I got a couple of each preferably 3 settlers 3 workers.

No problem, but I was still curious about the timezone used for the cut off time.
Congrats, btw on being a daddy

I submitted a 1620 game, but it wasn't the new .004 for Warlords, ( it was the old .003) I assume that's why it didn't count.

Correct. This gauntlet required either v.1.61.011 or v.2.08.004.
SoL just gives you the free specialist on the same continent on an Archi map you most likely build some cities on another landmass...
