Quick Games

[dojoboy]

Do Quick Games have to be former GOTMs or will they be similar to non-GOTM medal play games? Are they member generated or CFC staff generated? Are they, "Hey, here is a game set-up that might be interesting. Play it and share your approach." type games.

No one answered so far?

Ok, I’ll give it a try.
Back when the concept was tossed on the table, they were supposed to be related with GOTM, maybe replays of certain thrilling stages of a past GOTM (such as fast conquest phases; trading rounds; diplomatic rounds; building a 4 turns settler + warrior factory ) The GOTM SG idea fits this frame very well.

In any case, the Quick Games sub-forum is not to duplicate any other existing forums on CivFanatics.

So, an idea could be for someone to upload an old GOTM save where a conquest phase began, for others to play out.

Yndy is correct here, that the idea of the forum is to support players in defining spin off games that either use the same maps as the GOTMs or can be played on other game maps to explore quick concepts that only require playing a segment of the game.

There are lots of things we can pursue in these games but we do not want them to be just duplicates of games that should be in succession games or other forums.

It is my hope that they will not be viewed as a substitute for playing the GOTM the Medal Play Series games.

Part of the original concept was to hope for more games where some player would post a save that had already progressed to a certain stage in the game with a 20 turn or 100 turn game play objective.

Shortly we will release game scoring utilities that will let players score their own games using the same tool we will use for QSC games and this utility will let you define your own victory conditions and measurement criteria.
