SGOTM 01 - Hapshepsut of Egypt

This game will be played in Civ4, patched to v1.61.

This first SGOTM will not feature any advanced variant.. the winner simply will be the team that wins the game at the earliest game date with either domination or a diplomatic victory. All victory conditions are still enabled though, with exception of Space Race, so you have to avoid getting another type of victory (and of course prevent the AIs from winning).

The information required to place you in a suitable team is as follows:-

1. Which level (noble, monarch, etc.) are you comfortable playing in a solo game?
2. Have you played any Civ4 GOTM games before?
3. Have you played any succession games or Civ3 SGOTM before?
4. Do you have a group of players you want to play with?

The game will start on May 12.

Here's the start.

Map Parameters
Playable Civ - Hapshepsut of Egypt
World size - Standard
Difficulty - Monarch
Landform - Mystery
Game Speed - Epic

Permanent Alliances are turned on (can form permanent alliances after either communism or fascism is researched)
Space race is disabled.
Egypt is locked into war with Huayna Capac of the Incas.
Egypt is locked into peace with an unknown civilization.

The map is hand built, and therefore may not have a standard configuration.

Civ4 SGOTM reference thread

Notes:

A. ONLY Civilization4 v1.61 is supported for this SGOTM. All teams will compete for a single award - the Gold Laurels.

B. All teams must play the sponsored variant - victory will be awarded for the fastest victory by either domination or diplomacy.

C. All saved game files uploaded to the server are parsed through software that extracts and archives data about your save, including reload count for each turn set.

D. Spoiler information will absolutely NOT be tolerated in this thread.

I look forward to seeing how the different teams will approach this game. With many teams playing the same game while discussing tactics and documenting the progress with turn logs, I hope some new game insights will surface

After Gyathaar's PM about my problems with floodplains I will afterall sign up. I can see floodplains in black unexplored regions, but no units or anything else. I try not to scroll over black regions but sometimes I still catch a glimpse of them. I will obviously not mention or act on any I do spot but may also be restricted on screenies I post. I do not wish to hide this, so if it is or becomes a problem, please exclude me.

1. I've not played many gemes as I've had problems getting Civ 4 going at all, so Noble happily, just trying my first Prince game which I shall probably lose after an absolutely awful start position that I did well to survive from at all.

2. No (floodplains)

3. Regular Civ 3 SGOTM player

4. Jericho Hill, Igloo Dude, Tauro, Whomp, Admiral K. (and Igor)

I really really want to play this game, but I still don't own a copy of Civ4 I'll sign up anyway, thinking that I will be able to get one before May 12.

1. No idea whatsoever, never played. Deity level in Civ3 though.
2. No.
3. Yup, played the last three civ3 SGOTMs.
4. Not that I know of, but maybe some of Team Smurkz will find there way here as well (Methos, you around? ).

 

[merandaBlue]

This sounds like fun.

I am most comfortable in noble, although I'll obviously be practicing monarch now.

I've never played a succession game, or any of the games of teh month. I've read this site for several years with great interest, but only recently have been moved by exapseration with the AI's to get involved.

I am upgraded to patch 1.61 on my civ4?

I don't know anyone, so am open to any team that will have me.
