Whos playing what in Gotm20?

[Qitai]

Didn't have PTW. I would play Predator if I have PTW.

<-----------GOTM20. [Open]

Edit: Planning to go Predator in the future on non Deity games.

 

[Jabah]

I wanted to have a 'normal' (ie no bonus) deity, but having victory restricted to conquest is a little too much a challenge .

No barbarians is a nice bonus too (at least for me).

CIVIII 1.29
1. I have never won at deity.
2. I prefer a more relaxed game.
3. I love to explore and discover.
3. I dislike the constant maneuvering of war.

 

[mabellino]

First ever deity and only played one emperor (GOTM19) and that was an embarassing defeat... still I've improved 300% since lurking here in the GOTM forum!
Cheers to cracker and the team from preventing me from selling my game on ebay and big thanks to Moonsinger for her trading advice thread... what prescient timing!

[B@ Borealis--good luck getting your first solo win...and THANKS--now I am up in 4 succession games---guess GOTM and Epics have to wait. [/B]

Why do you think I haven't signed up for any SGs in a while?

 

[Moonsinger]

Bam-Bam & runifoc:

Succession Game sounds like a good idea. Now that you mention it, I will stop by that forum more often.

 

[Bam-Bam]

@ Moonsinger--yes they are great for civ snacking in between GOTM or Epics-type games....that is, unless you are foolish enough to be playing five at a time, and come up for your turns in four of the five.

There is also lots of variety in the games--including lots of interesting and challenging varients--many of which can provide focus on specific aspects of gameplay. Examples in 4 of the games I am in right now (three of them hosted by GOTM regulars, LKendter and Hotrod):

Game 1: LK45--emperor 100k culture--no war except to stop spaceship launch or AFTER reaching 100K w/o doubling

Game 2: LK48--deity vs. all the scientific civs

Game 3: HOT5--emperor w/no iron at all. Conquest/domination only

Game 4: Emperor builder game w/ no warring or trading for techs--only allowed to shoot for spaceship.

 

[Hergrom]

Most likely will always play open class, unless a really interesting predator regent or monarch game comes along.

Bam-Bam,

Thanks! I will keep an eye on them.

 

[jack merchant]

Beginning to regret it though - {no spoiler content here}

I actually (accidentally) lost GOTM19 to diplo, but I have beaten deity before, so I'm confident of being able to beat this one, if perhaps not by conquest.

 

[a space oddity]

This is my first (solo) Deity attempt, after jumping in at CTR1, an SG where only people who have never won emperor (...which started before I won my GOTM19 game...) could join.
So I don't expect to win this game but I do like to have a shot at a 'regular' Deity game. Cracker was very generous last month and this could be another 'do-able' game where the map is concerned...

v1.21

Since I have never won a diety game before. I'll be in Open.

I haven't had time to try any non-GOTM games recently. By recently, I mean since I've improved my skills thanks to QSC/GOTM.

 

[forged]

v1.21f

After much soul-searching, I have decided that the last gotm proved I still have a lot of fundamentals to learn better. So therefore, I will go Conquest instead of Open. At some point, I want to see how I fair in a normal Diety game. However, this is not the month for that experiment.

[Gen. Maximus]

I'm skipping GOTM20 this month since I was busy with my own scenario creation and Deity will be a a looong game which I do not have the time to commit. As Moonsinger said, playing Civ3 is a time to wind down after a stressy job. I would have played Open Class if I did play this month. G'luck to you all. Hope to be back for the next one!

I love this!

I am also:

v1.21f

But, as I was afraid, since many of the best are playing predator this will be my last open class game.

 

[Dianthus]

I'm playing Conquest. Why? (I need an excuse?). Because I'm a wimp! I've never played Deity and it scared me . It's going pretty well so far, and in retrospect I probably could have handled Open, but I easily meet the (lack of) qualifications for Conquest.

 

[AgedOne]

After much deliberating, since my normal level of play is quite clearly in need of the extra help in conquest level (but then if I did reasonably at conquest it might seem a bit false - like if I'd achieved a respectable place in a marathon after being allowed to cycle part of the way.) I'm not sure.

Besides, I checked and found that I finished in the top half of the scores (just!) in GOTM13. So that's that decision made for me...

 

[Capt Buttkick]

After my two previous games ended with my first victories on monarchy (gotm18) and emperor (gotm19), I was tempted to see if I could beat deity too.
It's even harder than I thought lol
