News: WOTM 02 Saves Available!

[Thrallia]

I suggest never retiring or quitting unless you just run out of time to finish the game. If you are truly worried about being demolished quickly, I suggest playing the adventurer save to give you a boost up in the early game.

I've seen people turn around what looked like a loss, and in general you learn more by losing than by winning...just take it from me, this month is my first non adventurer GOTM, I've only submitted two wins, and I've been playing them since this past January. Yet my last win was on Immortal, despite never winning before playing the GOTM above noble. Despite losing repeatedly, I learned, got better, and suddenly I won a game on a higher difficulty level than I've ever won at before in any Civ game.

Sweet. Epic. I'm there, dude. You sure can learn a LOT after getting your butt kicked... twice....

I am playing with the HOF mod, but don't see anything different in the game itself. I thought drkodos said somewhere that there are screens availble in the game that are not available without the mod.

Have yuo looked at the HOF1 and HOF2 tabs in the Options screen? When the mod is first installed it sets everything to not change the standard displays, so the enhanced Foreign and Domestic advisers are not switched on and the additional event and autolog functions are disabled. You have to turn ON the specific features you want.

 

[thadeus]

If I just turned on the autolog around 1650, will my game still be able to be scored for WOTM2?

 

[AlanH]

There's no requirement to turn any mod feature on or off in order to submit. There seems to be an urban myth doing the rounds to the effect that autolog is required - it isn't.

 

[Atolino]

i can't play with the new patch. It collides with HoF mod

 

[AlanH]

You can't play WOTM 2 with the new patch - period. WOTM 2 was released two weeks before the patch.

On the game release page:

This game will require you to play under Patch v2.00 (the current release version)
If a patch is released before this game is complete, you must finish the game using the release version!
