There seems to be a mistake with Piu Freddo <--> Più Freddo in the global rankings?!

Right. I forgot. When I tried to submit, the script (I suppose it is) wouldn't accept my accent. I tried without and it worked together with my E-mail address and CFC account. I should have asked the staff but forgot. I always thought it would make trouble, but it has been working for years.

Did someone play around with localizations and/or character sets?

It would of course be nice if the staff would edit the lists manually.

I have no idea if the problem persists. Will check in a QSC for GOTM113 any time soon and then I'll find out.

Yes Your previous submission was made in November. In February this year, I changed the web pages to use utf8 as standard. They were previously set to use an old windows code page, and didn't support all the crazy stuff that game designers were trying to put into game release pages. However, I omitted to fix the database encoding. I've now done that.

It would of course be nice if the staff would edit the lists manually.

I think the lists are now displaying correctly

I have no idea if the problem persists. Will check in a QSC for GOTM113 any time soon and then I'll find out.

Please let me know if you see any more problems.

Please let me know if you see any more problems.

Well, the game submission pages and the email sent after submission contain a unicode "ù" which is rendered as two eight-bit characters and not as unicode.

 

[AlanH]

Thanks. I missed the emails. I've fixed the header definitions for them.

I don't see a problem with the submission pages. I'll do some more testing.

[EDIT] OK - found it! Hopefully the next player with accented characters in his/her name will benefit from your feedback. Thanks again.

Have a look at http://gotm.civfanatics.net/ for current games and more. Civ III is on the left and that boring game with the misleading name is on the right.

No, thank you!

Wow thanks so much this is awesome!!! the gotm right now is that demi god rome one right? also what file do i send back? after i won or right before?

Hit "Lemme play a few more turns" after the victory ceremony, and save at the start of the next turn.

Just follow the instructions on the Submission page, which is linked on every page of the GOTM web site.

Don't forget - no replaying, and you submit your first attempt at the map. You must never play with any pre-knowledge of the scenario (until after you have submitted the game). Good luck
