My little brother won an elimination game in a little over 15 min in regent...

His High Score is still at the top to this very day...

I tried many time to mimic him but I can not beat it in under 15.

10 Minutes. America (me) vs. France; I killed Paris with a warrior. Regent. Tiny world.

I just recemtly won a tiny map on Chieftan vs. 3 civs and won in 2500BC conquest score about 4400 (IIRC)

Just was seeing how fast I could win.

 

[Kuningas]

Longest:
over 120 hours. I played on modded huge world map with 31 civs. I used to read a book while interturns.

Shortest:
tiny map vs 3 civs. Won by Jaguar rush 3000bc.

I think my shortest game was when I was playing on one of Marla Singer's Earth maps, which was "possibly" only supported by CivIII and not PTW. I wanted to play a regicide game...can you guess what happened? No? Here goes:

It wasn't a PTW-supported map, therefore regicide didn't work, meaning I started off with no king units. So what happened after I built my first city? It got destroyed because I had no living king!

Talk about a case of bad luck.

Started a tiny pangea with one opposing civ. I played as Russia. The Indians were right next to me. I got four warriors, walked over, and took the city. I edited it out of the HOF because I didn't consider it a real win.

 

[CivEmperor]

shortest game tiny pangea around 7 min it was my first diety game and i was the romans and the indians destroyed me with 20 wariors

 

[Xi 12]

My first game was about 20 minutes. I was fighting a war with the Zulu (I was America). I saw the retire button, and wanting to see what it did...

You can guess what happened next.

 

[china444]

You can still play the game after you retire, just save it before you do retire

My shortes game was in Regicide. I tend to use the King as an Explorer to enlarge my knowledge of the world untill first Warrior is out to continu. Encountered an horde of evil Barbarians :

How could I knew? Didn't explore with the King upon restart

It wasn't me, but in one game of C3C the AI iroquois were destroyed on the fifth turn. It wasn't until later that I saw a ruin lying right next to a volcano that I figured out what had happened

 

[EBFan2000]

Well, I know how to beat the Napoleonic Europe Conquest in two turns. Does that count?

 

[Bud2998]

One time I was playing an elimination game (I didn't know I had that feature turned on) and I was expanding. Now when I expand, I usually do not escort my settlers (unless there's lots of barbarians around or it's near another civ's borders). Then I saw the Germans wandering around with their warrior. I figured it was just the AI doing some exploring, so I shrugged. Then they suddenly declared war with me (even though I had about 20 swordsmen ready to attack the Koreans, easily able to switch and go for them) and took that city. I suppose the elimination had one city = your entire civ collapses. Sort of made me mad. The game lasted for no more than 6 minutes.

Longest game - DyP on huge World Map, retired after 135 hours in 1904AD, still 30 turns away from a (sure) 100k culture victory, the fastest possible victory in this game - SS was far away, Diplo ....


Shortest victorious game (not counting the Conquests) - about 17h, Arabs, Monarch, Standard Pangea. Never ever played Small or Tiny or Aztecs

How the heck are you all able to win standard+ games in less then 10 hours at all?

Edit: Silly me, already posted....

4 turns. 1v1. I was Babylon, AI was Persia. On settling I popped a warrior. I sent the warrior east to scout and stumble upon an ungarrisoned persian capital. Good stuff indeed. Second deity win ever. Not really a win I suppose.

 

[redux]

ok, what's the quickest victory on a *huge* map with 16 players?
