I conquered Mutal around 2500 BC, IIRC, maybe slightly earlier.

Perhaps my expansion went slower than yours.

Quite possible. The late part of my expansion phase and the early part of my war against the Aztecs were considerably boosted by a 48-turn Golden Age (Mausoleum, Taj Mahal and a half dozen great people). During that period I also completed a liberalism-democracy slingslot, which enabled incredibly fast cottage growth in the newly cleared Amazon region

is there anyway for this map to be altered to be slightly smaller? playing a huge map this long would kill my comp. it struggles with standard late game!

If you weren't taxed so high then you could afford a new computer

Government doesn't pay for my families medical care, including grandma that lives with us, and I can afford it.

I thought it would be nice to add a little competition element in this thing.

I calculated sort of normalized scores for Darkness and me and for the civilizations. You can see the results in the first post. I couldn't put IanDC in it yet, because he only played as Egypt and no one else did so far.

The way I calculated Darkness' and my scores is by calculating the 'geometric mean' of the score ratios of the civs we both played. Then I normalize then (so that the product of both is 1, but proportion between them stays the same) and multiply it with the global average score.

s = final score of a game
k = number of mutual games
A = player A
B = player B
mu = average score of all games
S = ranking score

I'm currently playing a game as Egypt, so that IanDC can be linked and given a place.

Matrix, let me be the first to say, definatly not in life, but in this thread. You have far too much time on your hands.

Well, no. First of all these are the type of things I do for fun, but secondly I'm very easy going with formula's and ranking stuff. This is exactly how I started the whole GOTM thing at CFC...

So are you gonna play a game too, BCLG100?
