It's FUN (even if you don't beat us)

Must be a summer thing... Prometeus started a thread on this challenge last year. Might be a fun read for some of you.

Of course I only bring it up because I took Franco to the top of the podium in June of '57...

Cheers for the good read; I haven't been around for a while.


But how do those super early landings get done? I keep being amazed by the info on this site.

Sten
Welcome back
...and congratulations.
I read your post with great pleasure: it seems that you had a rough time, especially my friend Carolus ('Heia Sverige!' ).

The tiny Hall of Fame is now as follows:

WW2 WITH SMALLER CIVS

French (April 61): La Fayette
Neutral 'Oct 58): Fire Dragon
Spaniards (june 57): Sten Sture
Turks (Dec 61): Fire Dragon

I tried the Spanish for the first time, and I have had a whole lot of luck, so I am going for pre '55. Its February '45 and I have conquered Turkey and some of France. Next stop England!

Fierce British defence on the beaches, or what?

I stopped playing civ for a while due to some distractions (AoE II, B&W,) but now I will return to civ.

yaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!!!1 this thread shall never die. New record for spain:
June, 1953!!!!!!

I attacked turkey first, and nailed them. Then I could trade with airlifts. Then the allies cancelled alliance with the french, who had made a good effort to drive germany out. I, of course, just gobbled them up from the other end. Then I attacked germany, and quickly got it under control. It was all easy from there. Bergen conquered june 1953 to win.

Hello FD

Welcome back, FD!
WoW!
1953 with the Spaniards! Even Sten Sture would say that is early.
If you now manage it with the French, there would be only your name in the HoF for ww2 with smaller civs.

(AFAIK I am the only one to have won as French up to now)
(but, if you feel like it, DrFell, Xin Yu, DrSpike and myself are now having a try at ww1 as French: see my thread 'conflicts...')

Yes, sir, deity level and no caravan rehoming.

One more question - "the Mini Hall of Fame" dates. Were those for all cities or just objectives

[La Fayette]

Just objectives
(and 2/3 of the total number of cities when there are no objectives given by the scenario. We agreed upon that rule, arii and I, when playing 'Discover' (CiC). IIRC he finished one year before me .)
