G-Minor 18

[ParadigmShifter]

Looks like the new gauntletes are about to be posted.

Using my amazing psychic powers... I reckon they will be...

Minor: Conquest, Monarch, Standard, Ancient Terra, Epic
Major: Space Race, Monarch, Standard, Ancient Terra, Epic

Both with any civ or leader.

I wish I could use the WOTM9 map for the minor.

EDIT: And a Beyond the Sword forum has just been added. It's all change around here.

Wow, you must be some sort of psychic!

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I know. Mystic Meg has nothing on me. I'm trying a test game for the Minor at the moment, Ramesses again after the WOTM9. I've been beaten up badly at Monarch so far but this game is going a little better, 1000BC and 2 of Churchill's cities fallen to my mighty War Chariots. He has a lot of beach cities so I hope I can make him surrender soon. The good thing about this gauntlet (if it stays with the settings I predicted) is that if you run into problems with conquest you can aim for a space race for the major! It's a win-win (or lose) situation!

EDIT: Are you trying this months WOTM Harbourboy?

Monarch difficulty is probably just carried over from last month. I would not think we would play 2 more monarch gauntlets. Not sure I am psychic, but I expect (hope) one or both of those to change.

Killed or vassal'd everyone in the South by 500 AD, ready to drop settlers by 1000 AD...

my borders popped, and... 100 tiles short of the land limit.

That'll teach me to add on a piece of paper!

Quite possibly the most frustrating end to a game that I have
ever experienced. I'm going to go drink something strong now.

Yes, you just haven't heard anything because I haven't reached the spoiler limit yet. Rest assured, there will someone you can beat in the WOTM rankings this month as well.

Yeah, seems a bit weird to me (if the Gauntlet games on the HOF site stay as they are). I expect we will know soon enough.

My test game is over already, no horses nearby and too much jungle to plow through to get to Churchill meant I attacked London too early.

Good luck in WOTM Harbourboy, 1382AD is the date I have posted and 65802 or something for score. It was a fun game this months WOTM and my best attempt yet at Prince (although I think the map was pretty easy).

Been knocked out of the top 10 for the minor gauntlet anyway, I knew it wouldn't last.

This Gauntlet has concluded. AAA took first place with a 540 AD finish. WastinTime took second with a 720 AD finish, with Denniz taking third place at 1200 AD.

Congrats all, and especially for all the good posting going on here

 

[Harbourboy]

Well done AAA. I see that nobody came anywhere near my diabolical 2026 attempt.

Thanks to all involved in running this gauntlet.

Wow AAA, in Unreal Tournament you'd call this "DOUBLE KILL"
