Now that IS a powerful example of something that clashes with my tan...

I've always liked the idea that the winner should contribute the next GOTM, to keep people from hoarding too many victories too quickly.

but it would also suck to sit out a month because you "won".  Not a very good incentive to win. 

I was going to post this on another posting, but I think its related.  Mongoose, are you not playing these because you're making them/moderating?  If thats the reason, I think we all wouldn't care if you do.  If thats the reason....  please play if you wish.

The CivIII GOTMs will be included in the total.

Hmm... I better start playing those Civ3 GotMs that I create then...

Ok... here are the ranks and graphics..

1-2 victories:

3:

4:

5:

6:

7:

8:

9:

10:

This should work for now.. I'll work on getting everyone's images changed over.

If we start getting about 10 victories, I'll probably start adding stars to the General image, or we'll figure something else out when the time comes.

Thanks

Those look good! If anyone ever reaches 10 victories, perhaps it's time for them to leave it at that and let someone else scrape some stripes together...

They look very nice.  Great work.

Wow, distinct patches for up to 10 victories?  I like it.  I feel motivated.  hehe.

I think it'd be cool to have a slight difference between the CIV III & CIV IV GOTM 'badges.' Something to indicate that you're a Corporal in CIV IV GOTM and maybe a SGT Major in CIV III, or whatever. Allowing someone to have both of those 'badges' or whatever they are called, on their profile.

Easy for me to say since 'Goose made these, huh?

I have been thinking about that off and on, and thought I'd post the suggestion finally.

Hey, I've got a request for the 1BC GOTM procedure. Can we PLEASE use the CivFanatics "HOF" Mod for all future GOTM generations?

Right now BTS 3.13 is FULL of bugs. This HOF mod addresses most of them.

I have twice been unable to load the 1BC BTS GOTMS, most likely because I have installed other Mods folders (e.g., Grave's History in the Making Mod, my own "Scipio's Slow Down Mod," etc.). WHY the fricking thing would think that the creation of a NEW directory in the Mods folder constituted a "change in assets" that would be illegal for a straight up game, I have no idea. Bugs would be my first presumption. My second would be that the "Lock modified assets" function in the custom game window does not work right.

In any event, I've not had problems loading CivFanatics PBEMs generated in the HOF Mod, and those guys over there are inevitably gonna de facto support that Mod ad infinitum.
