Sorry for delay - was offline for a couple days. Elizabeth on Inland Sea. Tried Highlands a few times but never had enough food resources.

You must set it to "Seas" instead of small/large lakes. This gives you all three seafood resources.

And water tiles don't count towards domination...not that you'd hit the dom limit with highlands anyway.

I'v submitted my second game just now. Only one settler from a hut - there was no time to find better start. Because of wery fast playing (3 hour per game) I lost a lot of moves for nothing especially at components building step. Though I improve my result and finished my game in 11 century.
5 cityes: 4 mine + Gandhi capital. I'v played by Peter and without cottages again. Map Great Plains.

I think 1575AD will be my fastest submission...I couldn't beat it even with the luck of popping 4 workers and 2 settlers from huts on a highland map with seas using Peter(going SE, rather than cottaging)

Came in just under the wire, managed to shave a few years off and get 1670 launch with HC. A very different game, it still felt a little shaky in parts but I think I teched better overall and got better use from the GPs I did get. Only 4 cities, I probably could have trimmed further with at least one more city and better arrangement of ship parts production.

Seven straight finishes in the 17th century; I'm thinking I would have to change strategy completely for a better finish. I started with Genghis/Ice Age, just for something different, and got a 1675. I got two 1605's, both Washington/Inland Sea. I tried a couple of SE games with Peter, but just couldn't get things going.

Here is my start log:

Gosha190 · Jul 24, 2007

When is deadline? Is it possible to play and submit another game tonight (within 8-10 hours form now)? I'd like to try another leader))

PS I see a lot of participants! As I remember, it's record number of players.

The game officially ends when we do our update, hopefully tomorrow.

Gosha190 · Jul 24, 2007

Methos, thanks! I finished playing this gauntlet - I got domination in my last game. It will be an a good idea to play next time cosmic victory on small map at least))
Congrats to podium players! I'm out of podium this time.

Moderator Action: I already know the update will be delayed one day. You have 36 hours from this post to finish and submit for this Gauntlet.

I thought I'd give it one more shot following superslug's extenstion. Decent map, got lucky and popped 2 settlers from huts, had Oxford up around 350BC and cruised all the way to Industrialism mid-700's but then discovered that both aluminums were about 5 squares apart on the opposite corner of the map (Inland Sea) from my capital, in Mansa's territory, which I can't capture since I'll hit the domination limit. Fortunately one of them was just outside his borders, so I rushed a settler from my nearest city but of course when I get there, he's got a city 2 squares away and the alum is on the edge of the map so I can't build on the other side. I gave it the old college try but abandoned mid-1300's with 8 or 9 turns left on the last part cause I couldn't improve on my current date. Most unfortunate!

test server time

PS 3.31PM -> 4.01PM my time.... it looks like server time is average value of Moscow and Helsinki times.

PSPS I corrected my time zone to right value. It's OK now.

Dynamic · Jul 26, 2007

Server Date/Time is OK. For me it is indicated right.

Dynamic · Jul 26, 2007

So, wait for update... Very interesting thing for me: who is third in this Minor....

Gosha190 · Jul 26, 2007

36 hours is running out... we'll see results very soon.
