That's one way to look at it. On the other hand i was the third fastest getting my ship to AC.

So you did. My ranking is as reliable as a republican president saying the enemy has weapons of mass destruction, but it's the best I can think of.

Wasn't being critical the system, which i think is well done. But is doesn't tell you everything, nor can it. Just like the FIFA ranking for one or and any other system that tries to compare many things with so many variables can only give a general guide.

I finally finished another game. I love things right up to the point where air power comes into play, from then on the game is boring and tedious. But now I wanted to see how many GGs I could get and settle as Instructors. Turns out I got - without really trying hard, I was at peace for a lot of time - in all 13 GGs, one went for an Academy, the rest settled in the same town. Add West Point, Pentagon, Barracks..... and I produced 33XP Modern Armour. Means Combat IV plus Command (use enemy roads), and that is one of the deadliest weapons on the game If the enemy has rail..... well, move 6 tiles into his lands and attack a town twice with one unit.

I did not milk the game in any way, and simply pressed SHIFT-RETURN from launching my spaceship. Also, I razed a lot of towns in North America instead of keeping them. Couldn't be bothered to look after them.

CIV: Romans
YEAR: 1947
SCORE: 16907

as I said, a very lazy play..... (blush)

33XP?! I gotta try that as well.

In the mean time, for what it's worth, time this result didn't do you much good. Also because your scored is compared to my Rome game, which I did better than all the other civs.

But I'm with you that the game gets boring after a while; for me once I have tanks. I also have an increasing regret for having started this thing at noble level.

Finished another game, as India. 17651 points, 1925 AD space race victory.

Bad result. I was fooling around in the east, while I should've attacked Egypt or Mongolia. I played way too peaceful...

Only Mali is left for me to play! And all civs have now been played by at least one player! (Three of them only by me. )

[Matrix]

I finished the last game, as Mali!

21099 points, 1909 AD space race victory.


Unfortunately for me, the result was not very good. Both Mali and I dropped a place in the ranking. Looking at ProPain's final map playing Mali I thought I could improve his score easily, but I actually got 5000 points less. Clearly, I haven't learned a lot from my GOTM period.

Congrats on completing the whole series of 14 civs!

congrats on getting them all done Matrix, just noticed that now.

I thinking about trying for a cultural victory....afraid it will take up a lot of time though.

FYI, I've started this funny gadget at the other site. Quite a large number of people participating already!

Earth Challenge (huge size)
Earth Challenge (standard size)

It feels like reliving the days I was GOTM admin!
