[BTS] News: BOTM 216 Results and Congratulations

[DynamicSpirit]

In this game, every submission was a victory, so I guess the strangeness of the fantasy realm maptype wasn't too much of a burden! Unusually, it was a religious victory that took the gold medal, with a final score of 136K - congratulations, @Jovan Kukic! Not the fastest religious victory by a long way though - that honour went to WastinTime in 760AD - despite @WastinTime playing with the handicap of the challenger save! @WastinTime's fast speed was however at the expense of a low final score (23K), so instead of a medal, he took a lowest-scoring shield.

In fact, there were three fastest finish awards that went to challenger entries - the other two being @Xcalibrator for a 1695AD domination win, and @Tobiyogi for an 1848 AD cultural win (to be fare, the only cultural entry, so automatically the fastest!)

Back to the medals, and @Zhary took silver with the fastest scoring conquest victory (1000 AD), while @LinkDinkin's somewhat slower conquest qualified for bronze.

Well done, everyone!

Here's where everyone settled. A few different choices, but unsurprisingly everyone opted to keep the only visible food resource, the wheat. Most stayed riverside too, although @Zhary and @Nick Trofimuk took the risk of moving South (on balance, I'm not sure that risk paid off, although it didn't stop @Zhary getting fastest conquest).



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.
