GotM #21

[noughmaster]

What would cause a civ not to "make it"?

If the computer doesn't find enough "good" sites for 7 civs. Try starting a game with 7 civs on a v small world eg. 30 x 40.
Sometimes there are only 5 civs even though you ask for 7.

I did not realize how "small" this map was till I made my own for comparison - things are REALLY tight! And the Y=20 part means you basically have one wide continent and a little water. Once I tried this a few times in MapEditor I decided this would dominate my strategies. 40x40 would have given same number of tiles but more options for randomization of terrain.

Do I still have time to finish GotM #21? Also I simply forgot to save at 1 AD but I did remember 1000 AD will 240 AD be alright? How do I send it in when I am finished anyway I did not see anything on how to send in a finished game but I will look again. Any help with this would be appreciated! Btw I have never played on such a long map this was very weird...lots of bottlenecks, phooey! Sasebo

When is the closing date for this game of the month cos it'll be five days before i'll ever see civ 2 again.



BTW do people often get NEGATIVE percentage scores?
It happened to me once on deity level. I got -253% (i think)
