First let me thank the admins for continuing to put out GOTM in such a wide variety of flavors, so perhaps I can ask for one more.
I would like to play the GOTM, using some version of Blake's AI, making the AI roughly equivalent to the version 2.08 patch of WOTM.
Call me stuck in a rut, but I have a fairly narrow range of difficulty levels that I like to play CIV on. For me anything below Prince is to easy (especially in the end stages) and anything above Emperor is to hard. Something which I just proved to myself in WOTM 7 (I don't mean to spoil the game, just saying that it was hard for me.)
Now appreciate that there are a wide variety of skill levels, (although I would bet that the vast majority of players on the forum are comfortable somewhere between Prince and Emperor) and the admins try to give everybody a crack at playing their favorite levels Ideally I wish there was a way to pick your difficult level for the GOTM but I guess that just isn't practical.
I prefer Warlord over Vanilla CIV, but again I appreciate that not everybody has the expansion pack or even likes it. However, after playing Warlord 2.08 or Civ IV with the Better AI patches, going back and playing Vanilla Civ without incorporating all of Blake's wonderful improvements I feel like I am playing Civ 2 again.!!
So in practical terms what this means is if the Warlords GOM is at a good level like WTOM 5, 6, I give the game a shot. But if its too easy or to hard, I find I only spend a few hours before giving it up. Now if we could play Civ 4 with Blake's AI mod I would it basically double the number of CIV GOTM I could participate in.
Is there any reason you guys are not supporting Blake's AI mods in the GOTMs?
