Resource seed is 19. There are no specials hidden under grass. There are no multi special sites nearby. With a Prince difficulty and conquest only victory who needs a science city anyway?

Thanks for the small map, Magic. It should help a lot with real time.

(By the way, Magic, a small map like this game's is 40x50 not 50x40.)

 

[Magic_gorter]

Thanks Ali. I will change the text to the right mapsize.

I might try for a Wonderless EC game this time. With these settings, I don't think any WoW is totally necessary.

a Wonderless EC game

may I be the first to say that seems a wonderful idea and to say I think that those of us who have finished and have visited the spoiler look forward to hearing about it. Good luck, if you need it.

 

[Peaster]

Thanks, Inkerman! Just finished and posted. Sorry to hear about your mis-step, but your descriptions afterwards were quite well-done.

Results are up

 

[Major Advantage]

Wow! I've been looking at the results over and over again, but I still can't believe it!
IIRC, my feeling about my game back then wasn't that great, but a look at the spoiler thread showed that luck was on my side: The most skilled players were either chasing the green star (peaster, Haleewud, grigor), a fast finish because of RL-issues (Ali) or, hmmm, well ..., let's say had to re-consider their initial strategy ().
P.S.: Or weren't playing at all.

Congradulations on your first medal. It is not common for someone to take the gold as their first medal, so double congrats.

 

[Major Advantage]

Thanks a lot! But actually I earned myself a red medal already.
I checked my savegames and I was far behind by the time you finished. In 240 AD I only had a game-score of 125. Just as I said, happy coincidence.
