Greetings all.. this game for the Beyond the Sword CivIV expansion...

Version: 3.13

Standard Size map with 7 Rivals

Note: This is an unrestricted leaders game... Your civ is the Vikings. Your leader is:

Please note that the civs you contact will have interesting leader combinations as well.

Settings:

Traits:

Start Position:

Victory Conditions

All Victories have been enabled and all will be accepted

Highest Normalized Score in any of the accepted Victory Conditions will be declared BTS GOTM Champion for November.

When you complete the game, take a screenshot of the Victory screen where it lists your leadership counterpart in history. You may post the screenshot in the GOTM thread and then Email your final save (hopefully one just before victory) to me. Saves should be named as follows: [username]Nov07BTS.CivBeyondSwordSave

The Email address to send the GOTM is my username @1bcciv.com ... Of course, instead of "my username" of course I mean the name I post with here at 1bc.

What are the rules?
The rules are fairly simple: Play fairly.

This means that you play within the spirit of the competition. As it is a friendly competition, we like to believe that there is no real incentive to cheat - but unfortunately, people do. Any persons found to be cheating will have their games removed, and there is a strong possibility that they will be banned from participating in the future.

Cheating includes (and is not limited to):

  1. Playing the game multiple times and submitting the best effort (or even playing to get knowledge of the map, the replaying then starting the game again).
  2. Using any sort of programs to edit the game or save files.
  3. Altering the XML or using other mods that give you an unfair advantage.
  4. Reloading an earlier save-file and replaying turns in a different way. The only time you may reload a save file is to start a new play session, and you must use the save file from the end of your previous session.

Also, if in doubt, ask. If you think you have found a new loop-hole or exploit, then we strongly suggest that you ask as to its legallity before you use it. The aim of the competition is not to see who can exploit the rules, and as such, we reserve the right to disqualify submissions based on exploits that are discovered later.

Good Luck all...

Get a popup that says assets are locked, then a "Load Failed" popup and the game crashes. Funny thing is, we just got our PBEM running okay with Jerm, Tones, Rishab and me . . .

I just loaded it up to make sure it works and it worked fine for me.  Scipio, are you on the same version?  No text modifiers or anything like that?

I'm looking forward to another.  Thanks, 'Goose!  Will you be posting your scores this month? 
*NC has made it his personal goal for 'Goose to play with us.

That is the exact thing that happened to me (once) in the middle of last month's game. This one's off to a good start though.

Speaking of a good start, .

i'll probably not reach the skies of your average scores because i'm still not 100% used with Civ4, but that's a real pleasure to take part to GOTM.

I've decided to give this one a whirl... about 2 hours in.

Spoiler Text Below - Highlight to See Hidden Text
Louis is really annoying in my game. Two wars already (I declared the first one, he declared the second -- only positive outcome from them is I've managed to pillage one of his cities and have gained two GGs) and I'm only just now getting the ability to pump out Berserkers.  Not to mention, *spoiler* the imps have quickly ruled out mounted forces... and goose, that's simply evil given the horse placement!

Good to see you playing as well C&P.
