Game Schedule 2023-2026

[Garvarg]

Like many I you, I have a particular set of skills, but programming is not one of them.
I hope this is not dead, but if it does not continue, thanks to all of you who created games, ran the forums and did so much work behind the scenes.
You guys are the greatest !

I likewise hope these contests can continue on in some form. I've taken part on and off since nearly the beginning. I started losing sleep playing just another turn of the GOTMs in high school and still find myself coming back to it in my 40s. I likewise don't have the technical skills to directly help this effort, but would hate to see it die. There may not be many of us left, but it's a fun diversion from real life and I find myself still learning things about the game nearly a quarter century after it's initial release. Thanks to all that have/do/hopefully will keep the lights on a bit longer!

The GOTM website is now back - at https://gotm.civfanatics.net/ - but at this stage only for Civ4 games, although you can look at Civ3 past results. We are still working on the Civ3 stuff.

More details in this thread.

Regarding

COTM173

Austria

Regent

templar_x and I were a bit unsure about the survival of this contest and demotivated, so we are a little bit late in game development. We hope to have the game out by the end of this week. Sorry for any inconvenience. I hope it will be worth waiting for.

 

[DynamicSpirit]

And as I've just posted this thread, the wait is now over. GOTM site is now open for Civ3 - at least for downloading games and seeing what games are up there. It'll be a few more days before we can reopen submissions.

So does anyone feel up to designing this game:

GOTM201

Zululand

Regent

?

I think I could create a scenario by the end of the week (and test it the following week) if you could approve some of my ideas and babysit me for the posting by PM.

Sure thing. But there is no hurry. The game release is in January. We've got about a month.

Would something like:

Spoiler :

"Pangea, No X/Y wrapping, custom timeline (still 540turns), european opponents starting on the coasts halfway through Middle-Ages vs. inland Zulus with slight advantages, no other rule changes"

be too weird for a Regent GOTM? Or it is within design-space of the challenge?
Anyway, count on me for that one. I'm on a Civ3 creative mood currently.

 

[Più Freddo]

No, that would be fine. As long as the "custom timeline" doesn't need the installation of a mod or something like that.

And please, before you begin, read the instructions here and download the save-file template here!

 

[Più Freddo]

You can also PM me questions like that. Even better than using the spoiler element.

 

[Più Freddo]

There are reports that civilizational traits as well as unique units are disabled in GOTM201. Please consider this when making plans to play it!
