Scenario Victories

[Mesix]

So far, all of the scenarios have resulted in a "conquest" victory regardless of what the goals in the scenario are. Would it be possible to make a change that would show the name of the scenario in the Hall Of Fame table for scenarios instead of listing them all as "Conquest". It would look nice to see "Radiant Guard" or "Against the Wall" as entries in the Hall of Fame table so that the majority of the games don't display conquest victories incorrectly.

BTW...I was half kidding about listing Against the Wall as a victory. There is no way to win that scenario without cheating.

Well, excuse me Mr.Mesix I DID complete Against the Wall on emperor/normal speed without cheating (it was just a tad bit easier than the Momus in my opinion).
The way I completed Against The Wall was rushed out 5 cities as soon as possible, palisade in each and then warrior spammed ridiculous amounts of warriors per city (at least 20 per city - yes you need that many), while attempting to get axemen and walls without stopping warriorspamming. Godking+Apprenticeship+Conquest were essential. Hope that helps if you're still working on it. Also since the above strategy utilizes conquest, you want farms, farms and more farms. And that unit upkeep rate for your warriorfest will have your research rate so low it will be physically painful. And try not to focus on wonders, always remember that the time you spend building a wonder could be time building a dozen or two warriors. RoK is very important to grab early so that your vaults are gaining, and markets if you can spare a moment to build them. (Khazad hammer bonus!).

But about the Hall of Fame incorrect naming problem... If I remember correctly it's possible to delete invidual entries. As for the solution to scenario wins appearing as HoF victories...I think that would be easier prevented than actually made to appear as scenario wins.

edit:you are right it should be in strategy so I'll post it there too but no harm in us helping out Mesix. And it is ..sort of on topic about winning it without cheating.

This should be in strategy, but...

Start at the lowest difficulty level and Quick speed. (Cheap, but not cheating) Buy four of your five cities with advanced start and try to get Warriors in them too. Later on get a monument in them for the cultural borders / visibility. Put cities in or near chokepoints if possible. Build Warriors and Settler number five quick. Scout a bit - but not too much. Concentrate primarily on military and get a couple of workers to build a rudimentary road network, so that your central production city can ship out units to wherever they are needed. Switch to Apprenticeship for +2XP when you can. Get Combat and Guerilla promotions to help keep the bad guys out. Your economy may take a hit, so be prepared to drop your Science real low and turtle. Spam some cottages and other improvements, plus some mines. Use Motherlode when it would be most useful. Win by about turn 130, by which time the difficulty level is still only Warlord and your very far from in danger of being overwhelmed.

I have also beaten Against the Wall, starting on Noble, with very little trouble. Built three cities right off the bat, built two more quickly, never saw worse than a longbow. Had loads of extremely highly-promoted axemen that eventually the AI wouldn't even attack.
