    Yes, but it's still a race for the best time. For the "victory-impaired" it might just accentuate the discrepancy between them (us, I should say) and the really good players.

    What's needed is a challenge whose victory doesn't depend on highly refined playing skills or careful execution of the best moves. You know, something like miniature golf as opposed to real golf. I might be able to beat Tiger Woods on the windmill-and-metal-pipe circuit; I don't think I'd have much chance at Pebble Beach. Or maybe like Blackjack rather than Bridge -- a little skill is involved, but luck plays a lot bigger role.

    Is there a civ challenge at which the "victory-impaired" players could possibly beat the good players, yet still be interesting to all?

              * puts socks back on and wipes tears from eyes *
              Whenever I begin to thinik that maybe I am wasting time by spending every other waking hour reading these fora --- a post like that comes along and confirms that it really is worth while (Note to self: must use that argument on boss)

                            Well, that's even hard for good players, I think, as the advisors really suck!


                            My persona opinion is that those lads who advise you what to build every turn, and what tech to acquire, are in the pay of someone else, possibly the Barbarians.

                                Hey, if you know that the advisors suck and you can do better than them you can't be a really bad player.
