BOTM 101: Elizabeth versus Dr Moreau

There were 15 entries, of which only 8 were victories. All victors received some kind of award, most of you more than one. Zhary and Minou deserve some special recognition for being the only victors not winning a "Fastest finish" or High Score award. But a win is a win!

Dr Moreau obviously needs some lessons from Dr Evil... he did not put up much resistance. However, it was indeed interesting to see the varied strategies for dealing with no animals on the main landmass.

And here is where everyone settled:



The Small Print:
The numbers by each player's name indicate the turn settled on (starting turn is 0). Players are colour coded by game class (challenger=red, adventurer=blue). Symbols indicate victory condition, if there's no symbol then the player either retired or was defeated. The yellow border indicates the land that was visible at the start of the game.

Huh. I didn't actually finish the game (which, upon seeing the results, I should have done), but would have been the only one to SIP? That's surprising, as it's a pretty good spot.

Congratulations to all the award winners. Well done

5 of the 8 victors got 3corn in BFC, and another victor had 2corn in BFC.

My conclusion is either (a) food really is or (b) the best players really believe food is

 

[nocho]

Thanks for the game, kcd! For me one of the most enjoyable games in recent times, thanks to a nice twist with Moreau and his livestock.

I fel sorry for Minou, though... just...one...more...turn...

but no one could see the 3rd corn before choosing to settle there, right?

I did SIP.
When I moved my army on to the island, a stack showed up at my capital. Didn't have currency, so I couldn't beg for 10 turns peace. I was defeated
I was playing so fast I didn't even notice the AI's war prep.

1220 Conquest seems really fast for no animals to start with. Impressive timing on securing the necessary resources! The minor civ I'm assuming didn't need to be taken out for conquest?

Congratiulations to all winners .

According to kcd in the announcement thread a minor civ counts as barbarians as far as conquest is concerned, but I took it out anyway.
