GOTM58 Results and Congratulations

[Cactus Pete]

Given the broad expanse of the map, the early high scoring Conquest victory by Jovan Kukic is most impressive. Kudos to deckhand and MarleysGh0st for the silver and bronze respectively, and note HuginogMunin's early high scoring diplomatic victory.

Only 61 entries from 268 downloads -- suspect Civ V had something to do with that -- but pleased to see 59 victories and a nice mix of victory conditions achieved.

Appreciate all those who posted in the spoiler threads. Bit disappointed that the domesticated wolves and early wild animals apparently had so little effect on game play, though they certainly stimulated discussion in the pre-game thread. Expected reports of a cave bear mauling a settler or two.

GOTM60 is nearly complete. Monarch level, starting out having just avoided an avalanche. Hope you'll all have a go at it.

Wow, 25AD on this map is amazing!

Very pleased that I came fourth, its my best result yet. Though I would put this down to dumb luck that I found HC quite early.

 

[Deckhand]

WooHoo, my first medal!

 

[Darth Fred]

I jumped six spots up from my last game. Progress of sorts.

[Mitchum]

Great job to all of the award winners!

I like to see the fastest Conquest take home the gold medal too. Excellent finish date of 25 AD!!

Another solid diplo victory by HuginogMunin. We could have used you on our SGOTM-11 team.

Congrats on your first medal, Deckhand. I hope to join you one day... Unfortunately, it won't be easy for me since I typically focus on finish date without much thought to my score.

 

[WelshGandalf]

Wow, I got 20th, quite chuffed with that!

25AD is truly amazing, though. I don't think I even had contact with everyone by then!!

 

[MarleysGh0st]

WooHoo, my first medal!

Mine, too! Well...not counting the "lowest scoring" consolation prizes.

I'd really love to read a report from Jovan on how he managed that 25 AD victory, though. Wow!

 

[leif erikson]

WooHoo, my first medal!

Mine, too! Well...not counting the "lowest scoring" consolation prizes.

Congratulations to you both. Well earned!

 

[Warden USA]

Congrats to all, I Can't wait to try this one again once my skills are a little better

I think 25AD is amazing period. But yeah, 25AD with most resources missing?

Wow.

Congrats to all the winners! 25AD was surely amazing, and I am also impressed with the fastest domination award by adrianj.... from the challenger save!

And a special congrats to my Unusual Suspect teamate Deckhand for his first medal!

Way to go guys!

Yes, now I see that 25 AD is much faster than other results , so now I maybe should write in spoiler about my game. If Huayna Capac hadn't founded city on "Japan" I would win 1 or 2 turns earlier (so it could be even 1 AD or maybe even BC with some luck).
Resources missing were actually main reason why I won so quickly

 

[Deckhand]

Congrats to all the winners! 25AD was surely amazing, and I am also impressed with the fastest domination award by adrianj.... from the challenger save!

And a special congrats to my Unusual Suspect teamate Deckhand for his first medal!

Way to go guys!

thanks.
Keeping all those cities and building all those farms / wonders paid off!

 

[adrianj]

Ooo I'm pretty pleased with my medal
Things weren't looking great for the domination there - I think I was lucky to pull off any type of win out of that situation.

Thanks staff for the game

 

[magicgunnar]

Thanks for the game everyone! But is there a map over where everyone settled in this game? I am quite fond of these maps

Ask and you shall receive.

 

[magicgunnar]

Thanks!

 

[WelshGandalf]

Wow... never seen a game with so many people picking the same starting position.

Hey, I think that's my first "top-half" finish! - thanks to all the coaching from you guys! (especially Mitchum).
Obviously I still have a ton to learn though -

Hey, I think that's my first "top-half" finish! - thanks to all the coaching from you guys! (especially Mitchum).
Obviously I still have a ton to learn though - looks like BTOM34 is going to be [...]

for a top half score, but giving info about BOTM34 outside the according spoiler thread isn't allowed (although I don't think you're giving away something, really).

I'm rather proud myself to have 3 "top ten" scores in a row.
I guess it's the end of the row
