Suggestion: Two GoTM

[Cromagnus]

I think it would make sense to have an Immortal/Deity game each month, and a Prince/King game each month. That way, the players who are more new to Civ (or Civ5) can still enjoy the GoTM experience without boring Tabernak and some of these other hardcore guys. :-D

Also, you could switch it up to G&K only with one of the games, and DLC for the other. That way, again, people who don't have DLC are never left out, and those who have all of it (guilty) get to play all the fun new civs.

Extra credit: Throw in a Vanilla scenario game here and there so some of us can have a reason to go back and get those stupid achievements. I want them but I'm completely unmotivated to play Vanilla, which is a requirement for a lot of those scenarios. :-(

I know some of the Scenarios aren't random maps, so obviously, not those.

That is exactly what we are doing now?

We run an Emperor to Deity game at the first of the month and a Warlord to King game at mid-month.

While I'm not sure if a GOTM using a scenario would be a good idea, this is exactly what is stopping me from finishing the last few achievements. One of them in particular (to beat the Wonders of the Ancient World scenario on Deity) is not of much interest to me since I don't want to roll up a game on that scenario. Eventually I may go back and do it. I am still waiting for some of the other achievements (i.e. build 1,000 temples, chop 1,000 forests) to pop through natural game play and hope that all my G&K games count towards the tally. I read somewhere that there is a file to check the status of these achievements, but I'm not sure where it is. It would be nice if Steam (or Firaxis) would make the achievement progress display like it does for the CS bullying achievement introduced in G&K.

Oh, hah, I didn't check back on previous GOTM start dates. Er, never mind. This was my first GOTM and so I assumed it was, you know, once per month. ooops.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait a few weeks. I *just* finished a painfully long Attila game, and I'm not interested in jumping right back into another one. I really wish I'd noticed GOTM like a week ago haha! I literally played almost that exact scenario. Except I didn't play on Huge so I didn't get the achievement. /arghhh
