How many civs ? This looks ideal for "Lean EC" players like Grigor [and now Hexer?]. Maybe I will also try that style on this GOTM.

 

[Magic_gorter]

I made this game with the setting random civ's so I really don't know how much civ's.

My strat doesn't really work with restarts on. You need a lot of luck because you won't have the supporting troops/ships to hunt down the respawns.

Sweet... a game at (re-)entry level!


Now that I see the pic... no resources at start location. Have to think about what to do.

Oh, I didn't notice the restarts. That certainly hurts the lean approach. But the small map hurts the big-economy approach [assuming you go for EC rather than Gold] ... so I guess this is a case for "the normal approach" !

I've got so far the next submitions:

1. rimon
2. Peaster
3. CaptTuttle
4. marlos
5. Burnt-offering

Stil two weeks left......

 

[willemvanoranje]

I might be able to finish until Sunday night. Not much playing time though.

 

[Peaster]

You have another month to finish !

 

[willemvanoranje]

I was still with my head in the GotM 106 thread. But instead of doing uni stuff, as I should've, I played Civ II before. So I'll finish for sure. But there's some strange things I have to figure out with Magic. Does anyone else here play with MGE from the Chronicles CD?

The results are up. You can find them here.

Don't know if the savegames can be downloaded yet but they will after the created resultpage is published.
