The first GOTM Eptathlete...

[img=right]http://gotm.civfanatics.net/players/awards/Colossus.gif[/img]... is A'AbarachAmadan!

The award was gained with his fastest conquest victory in GOTM 10 - not a large number of games to gain a full-set of 'fastest finish' awards.

Congratulations to you on this award. Who will be next?

Congrats, justly earned!

 

[godotnut]

Congratulations A'AbarachAmadan! Tremendously impressive.

 

[Thrallia]

congrats! (pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is an eptathlete?)

 

[kojimanard]

Well done. Winning every victory conditions reflects your mastery of the game in all its various ascepts. Very impressive, and I would buy you a drink.

 

[jesusin]

Congratulations. And some of your dates are so impressive! It wasn't even close. Well done.

Would you write a book, "how to play civ4"?

 

[Harok]

Congrats A'AbarachAmadan.

 

[Murky]

Congrats!

Congrats A'AbarachAmadan for persisting through several narrow losses to get your conquest award in GOTM10. And GOTM11 for good measure!

 

[A'AbarachAmadan]

Thanks All!!! Never could do it in CivIII.

Next up Warlords, though I probably won't get seriously started until at least WOTM05 as right now I'm still focused on playing it with my son and teaching him to ski on the nearby bunny slope (still with only the icy man-made snow). Trying to balance the mind and body development.

Is there a page listing the Eptathlon awards (OK, award)? I tried to find it but couldn't.

So WOTM04 is the last chance the rest of us will have to get a fastest conquest, eh?

Enjoy your skiiing and congrats.

@Ainwood: Will Warlords have a separate eptathlon or will it be one thing covering both games.

Explore the menus on the GOTM pages when you have time. The Pantheon pages display the silverware for all GOTM game variants - Civ3, Civ4, GOTM/WOTM/COTM. There are pages covering medals, fastest finish/cow awards, lowest score awards, and all time fastest dates and highest scores.

Warlords has the same status relative to Civ4 "vanilla" as C3C has relative to Civ3 "Classic", so, yes, there are separate awards and medals tables for Warlords.

Congrats A'AbarachAmadan! I won't be joining you anytime soon.

Thanks AlanH, found it!

Congrats A'AbarachAmadan!

However, I do believe that our global ranking system needs a little adjustment so that we don't put our first eptathlete at 15th only because he didn't participate in the most recent game.

Nah, I'm tired of them, though it is and always has been my favorite game type. I'd think at least half the submissions of 04 will be one of those.

Nah, gotta play to rate. The only thing I think missing from the scoring system is properly rating the cow scores for someone purposely trying to get one. You have to be careful, though, or people could just change their game plan to go for cow. Maybe giving those who go to 2500 a rating of x/2000 or x/maxbase (whichever is smaller) where x=their base and maxbase=the max cow score that game. Although the 2000 may have to be adjusted based upon land mass as population is the real factor.
