[BTS] News: BOTM 198 Results and Congratulations

[DynamicSpirit]

In this game we have a new eptathlete - congratulations to @Mitchum, who completed the eptathlon requirements by winning the gold medal - with a 1490 AD domination win!

The other notable achievement I noticed was @ZPV - spaceship win with an extraordinarily early date of 1675AD. And @WastinTime's 1060AD fastest domination wasn't that bad either considering it required crossing the ocean. Ditto @nocho's 1430 AD fastest diplo win - requiring quite a lot of science to build the UN so early. @nocho also won the bronze medal for 3rd highest final score, with the silver going to @Termitnik (1590 AD domination)

Well done everyone!

Summary of Medal Winners:

Mitchum: 1490 AD Domination Victory, 279,152 points.

Here's 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.

Wow, I got the Fastest Conquest!

Wait a minute...Jovan Kukic went for Conquest, too, but he was slower than me? I know 2020 has thrown us all into the Twilight Zone, but some things still can't be believed!

Didn't play long enough to learn anything about the map, but since this required galleons, it's a superfast finish.

Loads of good games judging by the dates. Takes really good play to do well in BOTMs now, which probably hasn't always been the case (when participation was lower). Congrats to everybody, and especially Mitchum with an Eptathlon

 

[Mitchum]

Congrats to all of the award winners! Impressive dates for fastest Domination (@WastinTime) and Space (@ZPV).

Congrats to everybody, and especially Mitchum with an Eptathlon

Thanks. Now I have a BOTM statue to go with my GOTM and WOTM statues. This is the first time I've ever gone for a high score (I always play for fastest finish) so I wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I ended up triggering Domination a turn sooner than expected (poor tile counting) which cost me about 20K points. I would have been pretty mad if I had lost by 20K or less.

Things are heating up with all of the added competition. I had taken a multiple year break but it's great to see so many submissions lately.

Thanks for the fun map, DS!

Impressive dates for fastest Domination (@WastinTime)

Thanks. I case anyone missed the spoiler threads, I played (probably the first ever) Bowapult game. Conquered mainly with bowmen and catapults, cus, why not?

Congrats on the statue.

Thx, DS

Another shield to fill out my vast collection! That puts me at #1 in the Inepthalon rankings!

 

[WastinTime]

Inepthalon

good one

Ooooh! A new competition I wasn't aware of!

And I notice that I'm currently ahead of you in the shield count, 33 to 30, but I'm missing a Cultural Shield. Lowest-scoring cultural win--I think I can do that!

 

[Pangaea]

Only if two people go for it, which isn't a sure thing

Apparently I need a religious win. Not sure if I have ever done that. Maybe by accident at some point? Wish it wasn't in the game tbh. The only good thing about it is the AP hammers.

Only my 11th shield this time. I really thought it would be more.
Probably too many games at Immortal or Deity where I didn't have a victory to submit.
