Civ4 Earth map SP challenge - Page 9

also I dont think we'd have to start all over. I have a desktop that's brand new and that will handle a hugemap easily ( or I can start on the laptop and finish on the desktop) and like you say standard will be quicker so we can choose between longer and shorter games.

I for one still gonna play this map as well. Enough civ's to try left

Europe or America or maybe an archipelago map (indonesia would fit that)

Naah. If we're playing another map multiple times it should still be the Earth map.

I'm actually making a standard sized Earth map anyway. There isn't any decent one on CFC (they're all huge, mega, gigantic or astronomic sized) and a standard sized map is made in a jiffy.

66677 points, 1816 AD domination victory.

106.14*KB

Well, whaddayaknow...

I'm holding the top score. Though of course I've played a lot more games than you all have. I'm sure Darkness can top me if he plays Egypt or China.

I must say this really was too easy. I could've attacked sooner (Shaka attacked me notably), I could've started a multifront war sooner and I could've attacked the Incas. But what did prove to be a lucrative strategy was conquering all these Chinese mega cities that take forever to be assimilated: it postponed the domination victory and my hypothetical score kept increasing because of the huge increase in population.

But the end was tedious too: not a one-more-turn-syndrome, but a still-not-finished?!-syndrome kept me awake till now.

Oh, and IanDC is still ahead of me overall, but now only by a margin.

How many Sushi resources are on the map as compared to Cereal Mills?

How do you get through a game so quickly Matrix, its taken me over two weeks just to get to the AD's

I think i may have said this already this thread 'far too much time on his hands!'

Where there's a will, there's a way. Aother than that, I don't know. That 42h34 is exaggerated. I often have the game running but walk away and make dinner or watch tv or whatever. That might, on the other hand, also be a thing that makes me play faster. When you add up all the short times in between small household tasks, that might account for a significant amount of Civ-time.

Space race and a lot of pop but to late

. Mongols gave me a hard time when I was conquering Rome.

+1, Considering playing 1-2 hours every other day.

well, I guess I am still the fastest CIV player on this forum (Matrix, remember???), which might explain why I am so bad

But I also always log longer games due to having CIV in the background and playing one or two turns between other things. E.g. calling someone - while I wait for him/her to come to the phone I play a turn or two..... SO CIV may be counting time for 8 hours a day when I really play 30 mins.
