I have now added a listing in the third post in this thread that shows the player database for this game. This is the same database that drives the submissions, progress and results systems, so I need to get it right.

At this stage I need you all to check that I have included you, and that your preferences for team and game version are correct in the database. The teams are in no way finalised, and unassigned players are simply listed, but not yet assigned to any team.

Please let me know here or in a PM if there are any errors or omissions.

There's no way this game will be finished in three weeks. Three months is typical for a SGOTM.

Three months ... is that just a function of the time it takes to cycle the game among team members, or something else about the game (like the 17 adversaries)?

This sounds interesting ... sign me up.

1. Version: 1.61 only (let me master this one first ...)
2. Level? You mean what I can win at? Noble always, prince most of the time. Monarch would be iffy.
3. Played GOTM 10 (got killed), 11 (won on adventurer) 12 (won on contender)
4. No prior succession games
5. No special group. What did Groucho say ... "I wouldn't join a club that would stoop to having me as a member"

Would not want to be the one mediocre player on a good team that holds them back. So I would be happy to be on a team of prince and below players who are otherwise unaligned.

That being said, if a team of good players wants an apprentice, I'd be happy to do that too. You can see what you are in for as I have posted in the GOTM 10 - 12 spoilers.

Three months is how long it appears a game can last before the remaining teams that haven't finished the game yet tend to lose interest in the game.
SGOTM1 I believe lasted about 3 months from start to when awards were given and SGOTM2 was started. A couple teams didnt' finish in time, but went ahead and finished.

Basically, it is because a player is given a standard of 24 hours to pick up the save and 48 hours to play it and post the new save. This leads to an expected average time per turnset(turns a player plays until he uploads the new save) of about 3 days. Since most turnsets are 10 turns and an average Civ4 game is 300+ turns, that's 90 days right there. The length of a turnset is up to the team you end up on though, in the early game, turnsets are often 15-30 turns, and some teams do 15 turns throughout the game.
