GOTM 39 Results & Congratulations

[Tubby Rower]

Well this ought to be my last red ambulance.... I've played a couple of SG's and dman and Bede have taught me how not to lose. I have a win in COTM9 and working on one in GOTM40. I'm going to get scared again once the difficulty moves up past Monarch again....

This was a fun game at the start, but I just didn't have the time to dedicate to it. Congratulations to the Medal and Award winners, especially Klarius' 100K game! (Someday I'd like to get in the 1400's. ) (and great 2nd place 100K game for Jove! )

For the Cow award, does 'Highest Base Score' mean Firaxis Score minus Victory Bonus? Sabre received the Cow with a "Score" of 6334, but several others had "Score" values over 7000.

Good job all.


civ_steve: Base score would be removing the win date bonus, so you have to remove that, its (2050 - date) * diff or something along those lines.

Well, I got my first win at last. Now I need to learn to improve my QSC and not get behind early.

Congratulations Klarius, nice 100K!!

Did I see my name somewhere in the medals? That hasn't happen since I got the highest scoring loss over a year ago.

We'll see how long before it gets there again!!

Congrats to klarius. I wanted to win this time, but no. I have like 6 silver medals and no win, so I'm quite disappointed. Well, this keeps me going, lol.

Btw, the reason I haven't been playing lately is Everquest, that's just some evercrack, there're newer games, but I'm just drawn into this all the time. I hope I have more time to play Civ for coming months.

How much time do you need: it only takes you 5 hours to play a game.

A surprising number of good civ players seem drawn to goblin games for some reason.

I didn't play this, but it's still pretty clear that Klarius played a great game so congratulations

 

[Kuningas]

congratulations to all.

I played World of Warcraft 4 months. I'm glad I got part of it, civ 3 is much better in every aspect

Heh, so you don't know Evercrack. I just played it for 22h, then slept for 3h and now I have to get back.

Btw, it took me 23 hours to play COTM09.

I wasn't playing any games for 2 months. Then I had a sudden urge to play civ, I loaded COTM08 and started to play. Then I was thinking, "WOW this is a great game". Then I played GOTM39 in a night and was hooked again.

I have been playing computer games since 80's and I played lots of Civ I. I think Civ 3 is one of the best games ever. (My #1 happens to be Turboraketti II, I reverse-engineered that and added a level editor and new features for it. Yes I'm a programmer/hacker (heh, I do computer security consulting for work)).

Just to get back on track again. Klarius' result is awesome. I'm just looking at the results page again.

 

[ControlFreak]

How the heck did I get in the top ten? That's blowing my handicap! I'll be working on that for GOTM40.

Great job to all the medalers. Some really impressive games.

 

[eldar]

Yes I'm a programmer/hacker

I'm guessing you're looking forward to Civ4's Python-a-like modding capabilities then

Neil.
