GOTM 45 Results & Congratulations

[AlanH]

So we should have seen a corresponding increase in the Jason scores for culture victories?

Since GOTM 30 and COTM 1 the culture score stats are:

20K GOTM Average: 5416 Max: 11655 Submissions: 94
100K GOTM Average: 6463 Max: 11692 Submissions: 78

20K COTM Average: 5116 Max: 11035 Submissions: 107
100K COTM Average: 5435 Max: 13130 Submissions: 126

Take out Kuningas' last win and the COTM previous 100K max was 11792.

So on current stats I would hesitate to say that COTM was producing significantly higher Jason scores for cultural wins. If Kuningas has erected a new signpost for C3C then we may see the stats shift, and then maybe the builders will have their day in the Jason sun?

Well done, especially for those conquests!

@AlanH: Do you have the corresponding numbers for the other victory conditions? I.e. is it "universal" to have the max scores at about twice the average?

Can the map maker confirm/deny that the tech rate is the same as a normal Standard size map? I've started my fast-space attempt at this game.

Here you go:

COTM Stats:

These exclude a few unpublished entries, so the numbers are slightly different from the ones in my previous post.

What great response time, AlanH!

I think the max Jason score is somewhat random; the same map isn't played in both contests and the top players may not always play for highest score. The average scores are somewhat consistent.

I see the GOTM average Jason is usually higher than the corresponding COTM average Jason. This is probably due to the larger number of participants in the COTM (COTM submittals per category are higher); many of these will be less experienced players bringing the average down. The exceptions are Diplomatic (COTM games often get a free Tech, usually Republic, which favors research, and a slightly easier Industrial Age Tech tree resulting in faster games; for GOTM Spaceship victories the average Jason is slightly higher than COTM), Histographic (much fewer overall entries and fairly similar average Jason values) and Incomplete.

@Xerol: I thought the GOTM45 Tech costs were higher than normal, and probably consistent with a Large map (although I have little experience playing Large maps). CivAssist shows the Tech costs to be higher then the prior 2 GOTMs.

Yay, my first award (apart from the red ambulance)

Now, I'm all in favour of trying to guess which victory condition most people won't be gonig for, but on this map I am really surprised that there were so few 100k games. There was just so much land... maybe people were scared off by the thought of micromanaging the whip across 400 towns

Sorry, folks. I am normally too busy to both play and write spoilers -and having to opt between the two things, I tend to prefer the former...

I didn't really expect an award, in fact; had anyone of the fastest conquerors gone for domination this would have been the case I believe.
Still, an award needs some kind of spoiler. I did take some notes, and I will post a short summary in the final spoiler thread as soon as I can.
