Just a P.s. to my previous Post:
Even though you can submit Vanilla Civ, PTW and Conquests games to the HOF, they need to be the LATEST patched versions. (Viz. 1.29, 1.27 & 1.22 respectively.)
Exception: The game was started prior to the current patch being released AND is also subject to Aeson's approval!
.....If he's still "alive", that is!

Thanks very much, Im a big fan of your games too
I read your 20k in the cotm (3 was it?)
To prevent further spamming of this thread, I would enjoy any 20k discussion\attempts in my thread, or you can start another it would be great, as thats all I think about now, and discussions\ideas from others would be very welcome.

Aeson - (not that I have any HOF games going, but I might soon ) - on "Allowed Utilities" on the Rules Thread, you list TradeAssist, by ainwood. He has now made it into CivAssist. (Check the utilities forum for it!) It takes your autosaves and analyzes them to tell you if there are any new techs for trading, new luxs/resources, new contacts, if a city is about to riot, if you are going to waste beakers on your last turn of research, etc. I would assume that since this is mostly like TradeAssist, it will be allowed, however, I would like a confirmation. Thanks.

I tend to click on the wrong thing and ruin something. In cases like this, are reloads still disallowed as long as the turn is recreated in the best way possible (just changing what you messed up)?
Also, wouldn't having preserve random seed off stop people from reloading for reasons like losing a battle? Just a suggestion there.

Adding version categories to any of the victory conditions alone would be unfair to the other victory conditions, so if it were to be done, the entire HoF would triple in size. This is impossible considering that the current tables will take up nearly all our alloted webspace once all the slots are full.bed_head7 said:
In regards to early SGL's being "lucky", that's not absolutely the case. While tedious, it is possible for someone to go through map after map until they get the SGL they want.
bed head7 is mostly correct. You are allowed two games per map/difficulty/victory condition in the fastest finish categories. The only exception would be the default high score tables, where it's theoretically possible someone could fill all ten slots by having 2games_X_5victories. Considering the competitive nature of this environment however, I seriously doubt that will ever happen.LulThyme said:
A rose by any other name smells just as sweet. CivAssist is legal for play, however it is encouraged that players use the most recent version available.Ginger_Ale said:Aeson - (not that I have any HOF games going, but I might soon
Your safest course of action is to wait until you're healed before attempting HoF games.viper275 said:
No! The preservation of the random seed means that no matter how many times someone might reload, the spearman will always take out the tank. Any HoF submission that doesn't have the random seed preserved will be rejected immediately.viper275 said:

I was not suggesting adding any tables. I was simply asking whether PTW scores even remained in the HoF. There is a 1575 victory in PTW that isn't on the table, and I thought that due to the change of no MGL wonder rushing, victories on older versions were no longer on the table. But I guess, as was suggested already, that the person just did not submit.
My apologies for misunderstanding you, I guess in trying to answer all the pending individual trees I forgot to look at the forest.bed_head7 said:
The honest answer to your question about the 1575 win is I don't know. So long as they're under the latest patch, PTW games are fine for the HoF, so either that person didn't submit or the game didn't qualify for another reason.
superslug said:
Ok, thanks for your response.
Now all I need is one of my SGs to end and I'll put CivAssist and MapFinder to good use. 
Why wait? I'm sure I'm not the only one that let's Mapfinder run while I'm sleeping or out of the house. That way, once you're ready to play, you've got plenty of maps waiting for you!Ginger_Ale said:Ok, thanks for your response.

This is in relation to what has been said elsewhere but it concerns the Rules so I ask here.
re the Wonder Victory...
My understanding is that as soon as the last wonder is built whoever has the lead in the Histograph wins--is there more to it than this? because I don't really see why that should disqualify a game for the HoF.

Under the circumstances, I'm open to an actual debate on it:Bartleby said:
