News: BOTM 29 Results and Congratulations

[DynamicSpirit]

The difficult immortal level didn't prevent a number of impressive victories, with Duckweed securing a remarkable 1650AD space win to secure a highly unusual gold medal for a peaceful victory. Meanwhile WastinTime proved that spending the first 10 turns searching for a better city site (and by the looks of it, failing to find one) is no barrier to a silver medal.

Duckweed: 1650 AD Spaceship Victory, 637,362 points.

Here's where everyone settled.

Wow, Wastin, that was some out-of-the-box thinking Bring your capital to your neighbour and pop quechua with 5 hammers per turn.

Congratulation to all the winners, very high-class list at the top and among fastest awards.

 

[godotnut]

Congrats to all the winners! One of these days, when I have the time, I'm going to have to look in to Duckweed's impressive win.

 

[srad]

A gold medal with a Space Race, never thought that this is possible! And a really fast Conquest!

Congrats to all the winners!

 

[Htadus]

jesusin. Nice game.

Congrats to all the winners and one hell of a job Duckweed.

 

[WastinTime]

Wow, Wastin, that was some out-of-the-box thinking Bring your capital to your neighbour and pop quechua with 5 hammers per turn.

Thx, I heard that this is the only high level Inca game-of-the-month...maybe ever, so I couldn't resist doing an Inca rush. Since it was Epic instead of Marathon, I figured I had to find a better location to start. I also wanted to find some of the AI so I'd start near them. So I just headed south, away from the water until something suitable came along. I've never played a game with absolutely NO resources in my capital. Not sure I made the right choice, but I have to say the Inca rush part of my game went well.

Nice move, Wastin'. Good game everyone. Thanks much to the admins!

 

[jesusin]

Congrats everybody.

Nice to see old friends around... and in good shape!

 

[Ronnie1]

Well played everyone...

Really fast spaceships by Duckweed and others.

Thanks, the way to the peaceful victory is the opposite. Fun map, I hope to see a smaller map next time. Congratulations to all the winners.

Congrats to all the winners and one hell of a job Duckweed.

You are right. I felt a hell of job of finishing this game. I had to escape to desktop every turn after 1000AD and my game still crashed 3 times.

A gold medal with a Space Race, never thought that this is possible! And a really fast Conquest!

Not very difficult, grab enough land and then tech and grow. OU is the 1st priority.

Congrats to all the winners! One of these days, when I have the time, I'm going to have to look in to Duckweed's impressive win.

You're welcome. Don't laugh when you see I was on OR while almost all the cities were building wealth.

 

[beestar]

Hooray, 4th fastest spaceship time!

Oh wait, second slowest spaceship time as well

 

[kcd_swede]

Lots of experienced players taking on this one. I'm a little puzzled that nobody saw fit to play this on Deity level. The lure of the medals, I suppose.

*BUG Hint* The cake is a lie.



Congrats to everyone who won, which is challenge enough for most of us at Immortal level. Esp congrats to kommander tarkin who managed to beat what I thought was sure to be the highest religious victory score.

Well, you must be doing something right....
