HOF Mapsize and Fastest Finish Update!

[Aeson]

The Civ 3 HOF has now been updated to incorporate fastest finish type games. Also, the new mapsize categories have been added.

Conditions:

Score
Conquest
Cultural 20k
Cultural 100k
Diplomatic
Domination
Spaceship

Mapsizes:

Tiny
Small
Standard
Large
Huge

Fastest finish type games will require the maximum number of opponents for Conquest and Domination only. Score will still require the previous minimum number of opponents per mapsize. The other victory conditions have trade-offs for various numbers of opponents which should keep them somewhat balanced.

PtW 1.21f and 1.27f will have slightly faster tech rates due to the changes in scientific free tech selection. It isn't enough difference to include separate categories of fastest finish (Diplomatic, Spaceship) though IMO. Just be aware that those versions will have a slight edge in that type of gameplay.

In cases of a tie by date, the in-game score will be used to determine ranking.

There are many open slots in almost all the categories still left, so submit those games!

Looks great Aeson! Although I must admit confusion regarding one thing...If I set it for Conquest finish, Any map size, my Chieftain conquest doesn't come up even though it's a higher score than all the Tiny ones that do show up.

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding something?

 

[Aeson]

The Score condition is for milked games, and are sorted by score. All the others are fastest finish categories, sorted by date.

Doh! Didn't think of that! I guess I'm too used to the HOF being purely score based! This makes an excellent addition though...

..this will NOW allow ardent ANTI-MILKERS (and people with less time) to play much QUICKER games and STILL get into the HOF!!
BTW: "PtW 1.21f and 1.27f will have slightly faster tech rates due to the changes in scientific free tech selection."......is somewhat counterbalanced, IMHO, by the weaker play of Barbarians in vanilla Civ. (In PTW, Goody Hut barbarians will SOMETIMES run away from a battle versus ALWAYS attacking in vanilla CIV.)

Looks like for some time, ANYONE who wants to get listed in the HOF can do so NOW!

Looking good Aeson!
Though I don't really like fast finish game, I have no doubt this will make the HoF more accessible to players...

 

[Takeo]

please tell me if i'm figuring this up wrong. there used to be a total of 60 game slots in the hof and now there are 2100?!!

there are 7 different win types, 6 difficulty levels, 5 map sizes and is ther also a top ten on every one of those?
that is a huge upgrade!! hope i figured it out right.
thanks, Aeson!!

I think you got it about right Takeo, but some games can take 2 spots on the HoF. For example DaveMcW's fast conquest games with the Aztecs. They're both in the HoF as well as in the FastFinish categories...
