Welcome to the new Warlords SGOTM forum. We've split this one out in the hope that there will be less confusion as we start to overlap Vanilla and Warlords SGOTMs.
And ... Welcome to the fourth Civ4 SGOTM, and the first that is Warlords-only.
This game will re-enact the historical Civ3 SGOTM 09 challenge. It is 4000 BC. You are the Viking leader, Ragnar. You have met the Indian leader, Gandhi, and you have signed a pact in blood. The Vikings agree to teach india the art of war, and make them strong through conflict. In return India will take the Vikings to the stars.
You start the game as a neighbour of India. Following the pact you are at permanent war with Gandhi, and will remain so for the rest of the game. You are allowed no peace treaties with India. And India must win by space victory. All victory conditions are enabled except Diplomatic, but the winning team will be the one that gets India to Alpha Centauri, and does it fastest.
The Game
This Monarch difficulty game is on a Standard size, Gyathaar-special, fractal map, at Epic speed, against 7 rivals including India. All victory conditions are enabled except Diplomatic, but the laurels for this contest will be awarded to the teams who achieve the fastest Space defeat by Gandhi.
Versions
This game will be played in Warlords Version 2.08 only.
It will be played using the current version of the HoF Mod. This is version 2.08.003 for Windows, and version 2.00.002 for Mac.
If later versions of Warlords or the HoF Mod are released they cannot be used for this game.
Mac OS X players will be welcome, but they MUST play in a separate team, as we cannot provide a cross-platform version of the HoF Mod that would allow Mac and PC players to share the same saves. So there will have to be at least five or six Mac players to form a quorum.
Sign up
The game will start on February 23rd.
