Moonsinger Deity Level Attempt

......for a probable NUMBER 1 spot on Deity! :goodjob: :goodjob:

You have certainly made a case for starting a Milk Run with the highest Dom Limit, regardless of starting position.........of course your EXPERT play is also required! :)

You're a World Class Dairy Farmer! :king:

EMan.
P.s. You mentioned in the last post that you were using PTW 1.21.........is there any advantage over 1.27? :confused:

P.p.s. Did you use a keyboard macro to save time when generating starting position maps?

Thank you, EMan!:) You are very kind, but I just got lucky with the map size.

Why 1.21? Because I haven't had a chance to upgrade it yet. Plus, I still have a couple of other pending games on 1.21; therefore, I don't think I will upgrade to 1.27 anytime soon. Other than that, I'm not aware of any advantage over 1.27.

Keyboard macro?:confused: I didn't know anything about Keyboard macro.:(
 
............Before the monopolization of Windows as an operating system there was a "windowed" OS called Desqview that ran under DOS.

Desqview allowed you to record a keystroke macro........so for one game I was playing, Train Dispatcher if I recall, I would record about 20 opening moves in the macro and then just press one key for the macro to execute!

It would be nice to have something like that for restarting Civ games?! :)

P.s. You may have got lucky with the map size BUT you still had to play a BRILLIANT game to get 54k+!!! :)

The secret is really in the Sipahi and the Palace Ranking exploit (you can read more about that in SirPleb's spoiler thread; since he already documented it well, there is no need for me to repeat it here)
 
Moonsinger, your humility is as impressive as your skill...

I cherish your kind words (big hug and thank)!:) I have learned a long time ago that life is full of ups and downs. One day, I may be on top of the world (with a lot of money and power) and the next day, I may end up at the bottom of an endless pit. Actually, I had been in both places. Therefore, eventually I learned the dance which we call "life" and move the best I can to its music. I rarely feel joy when I'm on top nor feel no sorrow when I'm at the bottom. So why have I been continuing on with the fight? I'm not sure about the answer but subconsciously I think there is a tiny bit of possibility that I might be wrong and I shall find my true purpose in life someday. So I went on to finish high school with honor, met the President of the United States, then college and beyond. I have achieved success beyond my wildest dream, but no matter what I do, the emptiness has always been there and I just can't shake it off. Anyway, I play Civ mostly to release stress and to forget about this hopeless world in which I was born into. I had come into this world from a stage of nonexistence, and I shall return to the stage of nonexistence someday. Since today could be my last day on earth, I cherish it as usual; it's just one more problem for me to solve, one more battle to win, one more world to conquer; there isn't anything new there. However, onething I know for sure is that I shall never give up, I shall never surrender, and I will fight until my last breath to achieve the final victory - the return to a stage of nonexistence - a hollow victory - the end.

Game Update: I did play a little bit last night and got to 2000AD. The current score is over 50K. I'm making over 16K gpt and has over two millions gold in treasury.:)
 
.......(viz. "true purpose in life"), educating (us), entertaining, testing, pushing the limits with CIV is a pretty good way to pass the time.

My thinking is that many, many people read these threads and appreciate YOUR contributions to the World Of Civ! :goodjob:

Thanks for the "Words From The Heart"........that's a pretty courageous thing to do..........especially in a Public Forum!

I can't find a "Saluting Smiley" icon, so this will have to do for you MS............ :queen: :queen: :queen:
 
Wow – that’s deep. I was just expecting a game update.

I think I can give you something else to think about regarding this question:

We humans, and indeed all forms of life, have been programmed to survive. It is innate in our nature. Species that do not fight to survive perish. Individuals in a species that do not choose to survive also perish and that tendency is not propagated to the next generation. Because of this those who choose not to push on are in the minority. You can’t help it. To me, continuing the fight is almost as involuntary as breathing.

Sorry if I am off topic, stating the obvious or missing your point.

I try to cherish the small things because the world problems are overwhelming.

On topic: Thanks for sharing your game experience with all of us!

Holy crap, I pay you a genuine compliment and in return I get a philosophical dissertation regarding the nature of your universe. :eek:
I've got to say nice things to you more often! :lol: :rotfl:
Okay, seriously, I understand to a large degree where you're coming from. You've no doubt noted an always present sense of humor in my posts. The act of laughter (both for myself and others) is only the surface benefit. I adhere to my sense of humor to emotionally distance myself from all that may hurt.

For me, the current purpose is survival. I know this sounds like a generic textbook evolutionary-school-of-thought answer, but my reasoning is not purely that. I firmly believe that in a number of decades, medical and/or technological secrets will be unlocked that will allow us to live for multiple centuries. The key for me then, is to survive long enough to see this day, that I may live longer.

Once I have access to that kind of time, I'll then be able to decide whether or not to pursue selfish goals of enjoying my own life, or a selfless agenda of service to others. Likely, I'd have time for both.

Raising the bar will only stiffen my resolve to continue improving as a player.:mad: :goodjob:
 
Congratulations, Moonsinger. I hope you're sleeping well.
 
......A well-deserved new #1 Deity spot. :goodjob: :goodjob:

SirPleb, your move!? ;)
 
Congratulations Moonsinger :goodjob:

This thread and Bremps' emperor thread have made me re-think my map strategy.
After my monarch game I think I'll try a huge archipelago and I'll just keep generating maps untill I get an insanely high domination limit. :D
