what's your shortest game ever

[DBear]

My shortest game was with vanilla CIV3. I was playing as the Americans and I was stuck on a peninsula behind a mountain range. I discover early I have no iron. I found out that India, across a bay, had some, so I tried to take it. EVERY other civ in the game declared war on me and soon it became lose a couple cities, give up a couple more in peace talks, then get attacked again. Horrible game.

My shortest game was 58 seconds.

I started in the middle of a Jungle, not a very ideal building spot so I move my settler east and two squares away lies a barbarian.

I attempted to flee but my finger slipped and I moved towards the barbarian instead of away from it.

This is my longest game. it is on the TETkurman map.

 

[Chieftess]

Can you upload the save for that one!

Anyway, my shortest was starting next to a volcano in C3C. Volcano erupted on my only city. Game "won".

Can't, too huge.

It is 1,197,473 bytes. the limit is 1,024,000 bytes.

If i use a zip file, it is 1,106,200 bytes.

Did you use any extra units in this scenario? I'm getting a "ERROR READING FILE" message (anim_name_workers). And yes, I have the TETurkhan mod from PTW. Just to be sure, I completely reinstalled the TETurkhan mod (good thing I have cable now! 100 megs!), and it does seem units were added. So, I'm tediously adding temporary units while my computer runs slower and slower...

edit: Finally got it to work with a few temp units. Where's that last Songhai stronghold???

 

[Bluemofia]

in teh middle of the atlantic, near southern africa, near the northern rainforest area. or where all of my tactical nukes are.

So you were the Chinese?

Wow is that a long game!

 

[Bluemofia]

yep.

the only thing i messed with on TET's map was the cost to the aircraft carrier. i thought it was too expensive. still, i got about 28 leaders or something.

 

[Gogf]

What difficulty was this?

 

[Bluemofia]

cheftin. the reason was i started this game near when i first got PTW.

 

[Gogf]

And you've been playing it ever since I asumme .

 

[Bluemofia]

yep

I've won in half an hour (tiny Pangaea epic) and lost in 42 seconds (Sengoku Conquest... Daimyo encountered one too many Ainu barbarians), both on Regent.

I think Sengoku is the source of MANY short games for agressive players. I once attacked the first barb I saw with my Daimyo. It lost. (turn 2)
