So are there any new scores coming? Don't you see I'm addicted to this thing? I need my dosis!
Still playing my rome game. Just don't have a lot of time these days. At about 1200 AD and i would say i'm heading for a similar score, probably lower

This game requires at least about 20 hours for a good score and for this kind of time, one can do a lot of things apart from Civ. Especially, it is the same map all the time. So, I don't think I'll play more soon, may be later on.

Ah, look at that. This brought you to second place, Nitro. Also Darkness is below IanDC now, so IanDC stayed in third position.

I would never even consider crossing the ocean, playing as the Zulus. (In a SP game, that is.) But I suppose it can speed up the conquest.

With a double long weekend i could just finish my roman game... finally.

Also it might be worthwhile to do a weighting between the different victories achieved

Perhaps. But I just try to get the earliest best victory option available. With the Native Americans a cultural victory was my only option. With Rome I was close to a domination victory, but a space race victory occurred earlier.

Looking forward to your result!

Finally finished my game.

Space Race 1852, 31818pts

Nothing special. Had i not been lazy and gone for a domination could have gotten 50k+ score. I had mech inf and modern armor against rifleman and worse.

Basically had the game won when i took Egypts double holy city around 960AD which was getting 50gpt for hinduism and 10gpt for another one can't remember the religion. At that poit i was keeping pace technologically with 50-60% science (i expanded quickly early banking on the timid AI). Once i took the city i was making a profit with 90% science and raced away.

Unfortunately for you, I played better with Rome, and I am statistically a very unskilled player, so your introduction to the ranking isn't a good one. But if you're really concerned with that, I suggest to play with the Zulus.

I just finished another game: Maya, 10073 points, 1950 AD, space race. I seriously thought I'd lose my first game on this map, but somehow I managed to squeeze a space ship out of my civvie. I couldn't eliminate the Incas quickly - took too long and so Montezuma attacked me, and was backed up by Ragnar. It slowed my development, and by the time I finally had conquered all of South America Mali was doing terribly well in pursuit of a cultural victory, so I had to attack him. After that one after the other declared war on me and I had no choice but to defend.



India and Mali are the only civs I still have to play.
