G-Minor XLIX

[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:

• Expansion: Gods & Kings + DLC
• Victory Condition: Culture (though all victory conditions must be enabled)
• Difficulty: Prince
• Map Size: Large
• Map Type: Rainforest
• Speed: Quick
• Leader: Any
• Opponents: Must include Aztec (Montezuma), Celts (Boudicca), Egypt (Ramesses II), Ethiopia (Haile Selassie), France (Napoleon), India (Gandhi), Siam (Ramkhamhaeng), Songhai (Askia), Spain (Isabella)
• Version: SV8
• Date: 17th March to 1st April 2013

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

Thanks to Peets for taking on the Gauntlets from now on. This one included.

If I am not mistaken there is 1 human player and 10 AI opponents on a 10-player Large map as specified in the rules? Are we listing too much AIs this time around ?

 

[Denniz]

Yeah, sorry. My bad. I did not double check it close enought it like I was supposed to. I've done worse so take it easy. I will let Peets decide which to remove.

 

[Luxas]

ach wanted to play it right now and i have to wait for removing nation

 

[TyfoonTurk]

i think without gandhi

 

[Peets]

I feel like a newbie now

I have removed Greece.
The HoF page is showing correct now

 

[Neuro]

I'm assuming we are precluded from playing as one of the listed opponents?

Indeed, that is why I picked them

The toughest pick on all nations now we have to all struggle with our fingers crossed to get a good religion and race cultural AIs for wonders

 

[TyfoonTurk]

darius for extra culture?

or korea/babylon for science?

 

[sanabas]

Minor quibble, this should be XLIX, not XLVIX.

 

[kirbdog]

Persia, Korea, and Sweden seem interesting to me. (Sweden = more great artists)

 

[vexing]

i'll guess sub 170 will win

 

[TyfoonTurk]

i foresee a lot of rerolls because of losing GL, sacred path or alone on continent

 

[vexing]

i think rainforest is a pangaea subtype.
it's only prince difficulty, so even against ramesses (grrr, ramesses) you shouldn't miss great library very often.

haile and boudicca will both *probably* get a pantheon founded before you, and you won't be able to build every wonder.

 

[TyfoonTurk]

rainforest is like continents, sometimes alone, sometimes with four buddies

GL goes on 35-40, so 1-city NC is needed

i've seen pantheons going on turn 3

That would be huts....

You can easily nail GL on Prince without even trying
and yes on pantheons you basically need some luck so Boudicca and Halie don't pick what you want...

nope, first person to meet a religious cs on quick speed gets a pantheon (great design, devs).
you can't get a +religion hut until someone has gotten a pantheon.
