PaulisKhan is Deity Space Colony leader now! Congrats! You have strong position for the next Major...

 

[Dynamic]

And I note Kamino's Culture victory at 20BC on Settler. Well done!

 

[Kamino]

And I note Kamino's Culture victory at 20BC on Settler. Well done!

Thanks ! Very proud of this one.

 

[Lexad]

First BC cultural victory! Congrats!

 

[PaulisKhan]

PaulisKhan is Deity Space Colony leader now! Congrats! You have strong position for the next Major...

70% of the credit goes to you. It's mostly just your strategy with some minor adaptions I made for Deity.
Still so much room for improvement. I think 1200AD is doable, no problems.
I think a team succession game would really show the limits of what can be achieved.


Oh well, off to learn how to do an Immortal Immortal rush.

 

[Dynamic]

I think 1200AD is doable, no problems.

I have never played on Immortal and Deity...
But 1200AD looks very strong. I think 1400AD is the nearest goal for Deity...

 

[Ozbenno]

Some new additions to the ranks of Quattromaster and Elite Quattromaster this update. Special congratulations to Misotu who takes over at the top of the EQM tree on achieving Immortal

QM: Trelane(27th) and Lessa(32nd)
EQM: Misotu (1st, Immortal) and Trelane(14th, Chieftain)

Well done

 

[Misotu]

Blown away by the 20 BC cultural victory ...

Amazing.

 

[bonscott]

Congrats new QMs and EQMs! I've two more games to submit and I'll be EQM at Noble level so I'll hopefully get those in by this next update. Been working on it over a year and I'm almost there!

 

[WilliamOfOrange]

First BC cultural victory! Congrats!

Wow, that is just insane! That used to be my favourite victory condition to try for, but nothing I play is good enough for these tables anymore. I just can't do it. Well done!

 

[cabert]

some guys here are amazing
BC cultural is just insane
this and the crazy space games make me feel, hum, well, dumb...

 

[Sam_Yeager]

Special congratulations to Misotu who takes over at the top of the EQM tree on achieving Immortal

Congratulations on your achievement Misotu.

 

[Misotu]

Hiya Sam! Thanks Looking forward to the next SGTOM ...

 

[jesusin]

Thanks ! Very proud of this one.

Congratulations!

Are you planning to do a writeup for this one? I'd be truly interested.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I had a look through the game log - didn't settle first city till turn 22 so presumably was wandering around popping huts for workers and settlers, then it lookeed like mucho wonderspam.

 

[bhavv]

I cant even come to grasp how a lot of these victories are evenm possible, especially a BC Culture win o.O.

How do I get that good?

 

[Ozbenno]

How do I get that good?

Take part in the gauntlets, ask questions in the threads and soak up the knowledge. Your play will improve.

Good advise!

Also describe your games in detail, so that others can comment on your decisions. The highest level of detail should go to the very first 20 turns.

Also comment on other people games, so that they can comment on your comments

You can also play GOTM where you'll see what others did when they were in the same situation as you.
