Trying to read comments in the AARs to see what we can do better.

Definitely need to change up the mementos. Thanks to @Manpanzee and @GoblinMatron for pointing out the overuse of Imago Mundi.

Wondering if doing two difficulty levels for each game in future would make sense - maybe Viceroy/Immortal & Sovereign/Deity rotation every other month?

Please keep in mind I'm just a fan and haven't participated yet. I need to use this patch to turn off the work legacy path. I am in awe of you guys seriously.

I think you should post winners or top three either here or in the hall of fame and delete my stupid post there about why is this forum here.

I love that there are difficulty choices, but I don't know if I would participate if deity wasn't offered as a choice.

I find the games more interesting the more constrained they are, so not as much loving "pick a civ" on certain ages.

Again, I'm just a nobody around here (so far) that likes reading the stories.

posting multiple starting saves will be great for both veteran and newer players. Judging by the latest submissions it seems a larger percentage of regular GOTM players prefer Deity. The current AI is just not challenging enough even at Deity. Please always post a Deity save for each future GOTM. Thanks.

This is the most frustrating part of Civ 7 to me. All the videos said it would be more challenging. Hoping they create a "Primordial" difficulty that is significantly tougher throughout the ages - one problem with Civ 6 is you started behind and then could run away with it.

I agree that Deity is not challenging enough, but that is why I like the gotms so much: it does not matter. In the gotms I play against other players, the game difficulty is more like the parkour.

I imagine it like a race track: some tracks have few curves and are "easy" to drive, some ar harder. But that does not make it easier to win the first track than the second one, it only shifts the focus.

So I like any difficulty for the gotms. But I don't like it when there are different difficulties presented, because then, part of the players are playing a different game than me that I can only partly compare to my game.

I prefer Deity but I would still play both saves (Deity + Sovereign) if the maps were different, for that exact reason.
