News: GOTM54 Results and Congratulations

[jesusin]

The scarcity of land and the abundance of AIs weren't enough to keep most of the players from victory. Well done!
In the fight for the Gold Medal speed was more important than size this time.
A player got the Culture Award and the Cow in the same game, not something I have seen before! How did you do that, Teddy KGB?
Thanks to all who shared their experience in the spoilers

Here's where everyone settled.

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.

Great game, Jovan - nice to see gold medal going to fast victory once in a while. Congratulations to hhhawk and Teddies with good shield set.

My attempt was abandoned when barb warrior demolished my copper city @4% probability.

 

[Cactus Pete]

Props to both Jovan and the map maker for creating a game where a fast victory could win the gold.

Anyone understand what was different about this game that make Jovan's victory possible (in addition to his obvious skill)?

I didn't play this game so I can't say for certain, but it looks like Jovan narrowly avoided domination in his game by conquering a lot of cities at the end and not settling anything down south.
