GOTM 06 - Saves available!

This game MUST be played in patch version 1.61. We will NOT accept any games played under any other patch versions.

Further, this game will have its assets protected, so your custom mods won't work (if you get an 'assets protected' message - it is likely that you have custom mods in you base game assets folders).

We do not yet have support for the HOF mod - but this is likely in future.

Game settings:
Civilization: Mongols (Leader: Kublai Khan; Traits: Aggressive & Creative)
Rivals: 6 (Random)
Difficulty: Noble
Map: Fractal
Mapsize: Standard
Climate: Temperate
Water level: Low
Starting Era: Ancient
Speed: Normal
Victory Conditions: all enabled

The starting screenshot is here:

Adventurer Class bonuses:

Start the game with a worker.

Challenger Class Equalisers:

Start knowing no technologies.

Download the starting saves from HERE.

The Moose · May 1, 2006

When I open the save, I get Catherina and not the Mongol guy..... (playing contender)

Wrong link on the download page?

Thanks for checking it out.

Same here... if you don't want to wait, you can manually change the "gotm5" in the link name to "gotm6"

In the future GOTM games, or in the next couple of days for this game?

The following text is from the download page:

This game will require you to have installed Patch v1.61.
ENTRIES NOT PLAYED UNDER 1.52 WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!

Those two lines contradict each other.

Mauer · May 1, 2006

Oh well, apparently even Ainwood and AlanH aren't perfect either! There goes my rock

Anyways, thanks for the challenge guys :goodjob:

Thanks. I'll fix it - but for info, it must be played under 1.61.

Good old Copy and Paste at its finest.

atoyx · May 1, 2006

I m pached and rdy to try it for the first time

lets see..

juballs2001 · May 1, 2006

cool... here we go again!

McLMan · May 1, 2006

I got the "protected assets" message when trying to open the save. The only thing I had done that could have changed anything was use Civ Scale. I ran Civ-Scale again, set everything back to "original settings" and then the Save opened fine.

ainwood · May 1, 2006

Glad you got it fixed. Yes - civscale changes the base assets, I believe.

Kikinit · May 2, 2006

I had that message too and thought it might be from the SG modpack I had used so I completely uninstalled and reinstalled CIV and then the GOTM file loaded fine. I could have just run civ-scale and set back to original settings? :blush:

Any idea whether blue marble would cause a problem or not?

Seraphinus · May 2, 2006

In last few days I used Hof mod and must admit I like it a lot. Please guys use it for next GOTMs, I think it does not break any GOTM rule.

I am fairly sure that graphics mods don't prevent the save from loading, so blue marble should be fine.

godotnut · May 2, 2006

Still no word on allowed use of the HOF mod?
