history will remember you as?

[fighterf18]

at the end of civ III vanilla there is a warrior with a hammer and he smashes it down to show you what history will remember you as. how do you get to the top rank?

 

[TheOverseer714]

A score above 3000, I believe. A game I just finished was at 2200 or so and I was only "the Clever".

 

[vmxa]

The Magnificent is the top one. Not sure how you get it, but then you pretty much get it all the time, if you play domination or conquest.

 

[Blanchflower]

You would also rise to the top if you are playing on higher difficult settings. On Chieftain, it is difficult to rise to the top. Hope this helps!

I'll be finishing a monarch game by 100K culture victory soon, score is almost over 4000. I'll let you know what "my place in history" is as soon as I finish...

 

[TheOverseer714]

I'm pretty sure it is score-dependent, 4000 at any level gets a Magnificent.

 

[Sweetchuck]

I'm still waiting for a ring-up of: "history will remember you as a PSYCHOTIC MANIAC".

 

[capnvonbaron]

100K victory in 1824AD, final score was 5250. Hiawatha the Magnificent, indeed. However, it looked like there could have been one more above that. Possibly reserved for 10000 points or more?

 

[TheOverseer714]

Nothing above Magnificient, though it looks like there could be. Congratulations on a great score!

 

[Sharwood]

I'm waiting for "History will remember you as an inscription on a tablet of Assyrian conquests."

 

[vmxa]

It's in the Civilization III\Text\labels.txt file
History will remember you as:
the Worthless
the Pathetic
the Foolish
the Meek
the Cruel
the Terrible
the Fair
the Strong
the Clever
the Conqueror
the Lion-Hearted
the Great
the Wise
the Magnificent

 

[capnvonbaron]

there you go sweetchuck and spoonwood.. you can have your 'maniac' and 'inscription on tablet' after all

 

[fighterf18]

thanks the highest i have gotten is THE PATHETIC and good job on your score

thanks the highest i have gotten is THE PATHETIC and good job on your score

Thanks.

Keep in mind, three things really helped that score:

1) Massive territory
2) higher difficulty
3) Long game

More territory explains itself. Obviously a larger map = more available territory = higher score possibility. A small or tiny map just can't compete. Higher difficulty -- you get a score bonus for the harder levels. I think the highest I ever scored on warlord was around 4000 with a retirement at 2050AD -- and I owned nearly the whole world! This game only went to 1824 in this game and I wasn't even 50% land ownership, so you can see the effect of playing monarchy vs. warlord or chieftan. And if I had achieved a culture victory a lot earlier -- say, around 1000AD as it has been suggested is possible -- my score would've been a lot lower as well since your final score is an average of your instantaneous turn total score across all of your turns. Does that make any sense?

 

[TheOverseer714]

Score can be higher by winning early too, a XOTM 500 AD Domination gets you huge bonus points. Even an 0CC 1500 AD 20k gets a nice bonus score. Its either win early or win big to get the really good scores.

 

[Spoonwood]

SirPleb has a thread on how to increase your score somewhere around here.

there you go sweetchuck and spoonwood

I hadn't commented in this thread until now. I believe you mean *sharwood*.

 

[darski]

I did a game on a tiny map which I finished by conquest in 310 BC at Regent[vanilla] and I got 6800 points for that win. (I got conquest because my pangaea turned into two continents but all civs were on the same mass)

 

[fighterf18]

yeah that makes sense

Thanks.
