News: GOTM 58 Pre-Game Discussion

[Paul#42]

I'm going 20k anyone with me ?

Predator or Open?

Although I prefer 20k in C3C, I might be tempted again...
Yet in Ptw I do not like Shakespeares too much

I think I'd rather head for Diplomacy. Predator anyway.

I will decide after a few turns when it comes down to building a temple or a settler...

btw: How did you like Wacken this year? I saw lots of dutch cars heading for the festival on the autobahn. It's quite popular in Netherlands, right?

The diplo challenge is tempting, but i don't know if i'll pick it. After the events who got me involved in game 57, i am left with some uh... thirst of blood

I'll start the game, then decide what to do after the basic research is done.

I started playing last night for the first time.
Do I have to submit my saves everytime or only at the end of the game?
And how do you know if somebody is cheathing?
I've been tempted to reload after I lost two archers, but I didn't.

In these troubling times when pension firms steal your life savings, footballers dive to the ground in agony when anyone gets within 15 yards of them and devious types spread computer viruses the world over, CivFanatics is the last bastion of honour. It's where men are men, women are women, and transgender individuals are neither and we all play with a straight bat, stiff upper lip and stick it to all those sly types out to steal a march on their fellow man with acts of cowardly cunning. So join us and spurn all those who call for victory at all costs and you too can stand firm against the world in our desperate attempt to represent decency, peace, love and understanding.

And remember the Civ moderators are watching. Always. And everywhere.

Thank you for your answer.

I've always new that who play CIV is a better person than average , I was only making sure.

But I still haven't had an answer to my first question.
Do I have to submit my saves everyday?
I've been looking on the forum for the rules on how to play GOTM, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

@Simone76: TaxpayersMoney has said it so much more elegantly than I possibly could. I'm sure you don't intend to cheat, so why do you need to know how we know if someone else is?

You just submit your final save. There are comprehensive instructions on the submission page, and there's a quick summary of the whole process here.

Oh, and you should only post in the official spoilers after you have started the game.

Because, as TaxpayersMoney was saying, there is some nasty people in this world.

Thank you AlanH.

I knew that, I tryed to not say anything about the game.

After reading all the entries, I decided to play Predator Domination + 20K culture + Diplomatic Challenge. Yes I am having trouble with me and myself on an agreement. We all want it our way . So I will move one tile across the river and establish RCP3 and 7 cities. Good luck me and myself because I intend to win.

 

[Marsden]

says continents, but on 70% could look like archepelago. closest land mass will probably be at least across 3 or 4 ocean.

 

[AlanH]

... there is some nasty people in this world

But not here, hey?

I edited my post and quit the game within an hour of play.

Wacken was good as always. The weather was actually perfect. Not too warm, not too cold and some rain to keep the dust on the ground.
The only downside is the german police when you have a dutch licence plate. I have been checked for drugs 4 times this summer in germany. This gets rather rediculous.

Yes, it is popular in the netherlands, hopefully i partly caused this popularity. I am promoting Wacken for 8 years now

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Been wishing to try the military way of doing 20K, this looks perfect for it.
