Yes, conquest is 20% penalty, and predator is 20% bonus, I think. (If possible, I'd play this on conquest just for the score penalty, but then I'd also be ineligible for the shield award.)

Conquest is 15% penalty.
Incorrect on all counts.Xerol said:
Conquest has a 15% score penalty and loses the right to all high score and fast finish awards.
Predator has no rewards except a warm glow inside
All classes can win lowest score and ambulances. 42 lowest scoring victory awards have been won by conquest class players since its inception.
@Xerol: You are eligible to play conquest class.

I thought you were ineligible if you ever scored above the bottom 25%. GOTM 40 I was 61st out of 114, and 41 I was 91 out of 128.
Still, I could've been playing for higher scores in the recent games and probably achieved them, but I've been intentionally scoring low due to my quest for shields. Even if I was eligible, I don't consider myself as such.
Hmmm....wish I had known this sooner...

You're ineligible if you score in the top 50%. You made it by 4 spots.
@Zerol: The King has said it. Your highest rank was GOTM 40, 61 out of 114, and was outside the top 50%. However, as you say, I think your own personal C/GOTM variant rules ought to ban you from using Conquest class to lower your score, as it looks rather like an exploit .

Since I just got conquests, one more question: am I still eligible for conquest class in COTM even if I score in the top 50% in a GOTM?
The question has never been raised, but my guess would be 'No'. Better than 50% in either version shows you basically know how to play the game, and should disqualify you from conquest class in both. Conquest class is not supposed to be a mechanism to allow experienced players to win the low score awards, it's for novice players who want some arm bands for their first couple of visits to the pool.

Bigrick- The game is out already and if people have started playing, they technically are not allowed to post in this thread. Myself included. If you wait a few days, I think they will open a hunting tips thread and then you can get help.

You save the downloaded savegame file to the saves directory of civ or ptw, which ever one you have. Then you use the game program to open the save, not windows.
So, save it, then open it in civ.

Question: If I settle on the Wheat, do I still get the wheat bonus?
Apparently not. I'll take this to PM with BIGRICK.
