[Megalou]

Wow, I didn't think I'd have a chance at first. But there is a certain disadvantage that comes into play when the difficulty becomes too low, which probably every player suffers from.

Fixed it for you

When there are seven victory conditions plus three medals, you run a fair chance of selecting a unique VC these days

 

[Mathilda]

I know.
It's a shame the participation has fallen so much.
I think it's marvelous that you guys are still keeping the competitions running

It's a shame the participation has fallen so much.

Hmm, I really love playing a GOTM once in a while, but 2 weeks just isn't enough for a chalenging game like this and currently I'm more "on the COTM track" (meaning by the time I finish a COTM, there are only a few days left before the next one starts, so I don't even dare to start the current GOTM...) (The exception usually is: when the COTM is Sid and I get beaten early and decisively, I move over to the GOTM... )

But perhaps things would be different, if we try the "accelerated production" feature once in a while in a GOTM/COTM? (I know, this changes the strategies quite considerably, but why not give it a try?! Would certainly reduce the playing time...)

Cheers, Lanzelot
