HOF Questions and Answers Thread

[Tatran]

The HOF mod has a bug.
I'm playing with permanent alliances on, which is allowed, but after signing
a PA with another civ the game is illigal because team play isn't allowed.
This isn't team play the way it's described in the rules and in the game settings.
So, what should I do with my current game?

That's odd, PAs ARE allowed, and I've even had an accepted submission with one recently...sounds like a bug to me.

 

[Ozbenno]

PAs are legal but team play (where you start teamed up from the beginning of the game) is not.

The warnings on the settings page are for when you start a game as Ozbenno said. It is a minor bug. Nothing to worry about.

Any chance of a gauntlet where required settings are barbs on?

Certainly doable. Even raging barbs on.
GW for the win.

I always play with barbs on and rarely build the Great Wall. I think it would be interesting though and would mean I put myself at less of a disadvantage than the non-barbs players.

EDIT: For added LOLZ could make it vanilla only

interesting thought
it would be a fun change

Otherwise, could make it an archipelago map so the GW has effect only on 1 island (does connected via coast count?).

I say this because in GMaj38 I really crippled myself early on by having my galleys sunk by barb galleys when I was exploring.

EDIT: Terra could be interresting too.

 

[TheMeInTeam]

Archers dominate land barbs and always have. Cities fogbust pretty well too. The problem was the 3.17 making barb galleys 4x more likely than before. The true wonder to deal with barbs, therefore, is the oracle. MC is a pretty sound bet, and on water maps it'd get you a nice shot at colossus. Normally I think that wonder sucks but if you're working a lot of seafood its impact isn't insignificant...and it also makes working water tiles on those peninsulas and small islands less painful.

I was too busy smashing Roosevelt to build the Oracle in GMaj38

NOTE: There is a version of the HOF Mod for each expansion. The current versions and the only ones accepted for HOF submission are:

• Vanilla - 1.74.003
• Warlords - 2.13.003
• BTS - 3.17.003

It looks like only 3.17.001 version exists for BtS.

Yeah, it looks like I got carried with typing ".003". The current BTS version is 3.17.001 as you said.

Is there a way to delete a submission?
I've uploaded a game twice (14100 should be deleted.)

This happens automatically

It does?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. We see that the submission is a duplicate but we do have to deal with it. Of course, when someone tells us, we don't to e-mail them about.

Sure, it's a good idea. We'll have to think up some good settings to take advantage of it. I do like the idea of raging barbs and no GW. I'll have to update the Gauntlet page to display messages about it, though.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Archipelago I reckon. GW nearly useless then...

But that makes the barbs pretty useless too. Same thing with Terra. No reason to go to the other continent. It may require a little thought to make it challenging and fun.
