vxma1 had a ridiculous game with 40-50 GLs.

The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

Yup, 55 to be exact. One other time was I think 28, no other time have I ever had more than 10.Comment

30 now! has anyone else tried the save and got similar results?
Its about 1890 now so theres still a long way to go. I think Ive got 18 Armies now, Ive used some of them to rush Airports etc and late game wonders.A proud member of the "Apolyton Story Writers Guild".There are many great stories at the Civ 3 stories forum, do yourself a favour and visit the forum.

I always play on huge maps and I always got the maximum number of GL by 1900 AD: +/- 30.Originally posted by ChrisiusMaximus

Having played 2 games with PTW, I am under the impression that the generosity of GL is over....Comment

A funny thing happened to me yesterday.
I was egypt, year was 1825 BC. I was in war with Americans. They sent some warriors and spearmen to my territory. I attacked an elite warrior with my regular archer. My archer lost (that wasn't so interesting) but the american warrior produced a great leader!!!! From the first battle between our countries!!!
Has anyone seen this kind of quick leader production?I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.Comment

Only happens to AI
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Yes, I have. In a regent game about a half year ago, the romans declared war against me with one single legionary inside my territory. I attacked it with an elite swordman and got a leader. I desperately needed my Forbidden Palace then, so getting the leader was great. Soon after the war was overOriginally posted by aaglo

An early GL if your lucky enough to get one can seal the victory of the game itself.

Yes it can. Soooo powerful. See "A Strategic Choice" in the strategy forum. I posted a game in which I got a leader in 1025bc. I played it out using the leader to rush the Pyramids, while another poster used it to build a pretty optimal forbidden palace ASAP. His was the more powerful option (as I suspected it would be). But both were huge advantages.
I recently lost such a game due to my autosave mysteriously being shut off (I didn't get defeated, I just literally lost the game). I generated a leader from my one - and only - elite unit combat: an elite warrior taking down a regular archer (I attacked the archer). I forget the date, but it was early. I was holding the leader to rush the FP in Madrid when I captured it (Madrid was well-placed for the FP and had the Pyramids too). I always have the autosave on, so I assumed it would be there... 4000bc - 50AD down the tubes. *sigh* That hurt. I was so excited: that game was going to be awesome.

This ain't a mystery. It comes from playing PBEM games. Unfortunately, the game takes the setting of any loaded game instantly in your preferences. So if you started a game, after you just played a PBEM turn, it could be started with preference settings from another player. I also noticed, somebody in our Minitourney gang plays "ironman", with autosave off. I suspect it's alexman, although I have no proveI recently lost such a game due to my autosave mysteriously being shut off
.
I have an empty 4000bc save with the sole purpose to be loaded before I set up a new game, in order to restore my preferences.
This is, of course, a flaw and should be fixed.Comment

BUMP for the benefit of the people posting in a thread about a lack of great leaders

Since I'm not a warmonger at heart, I never got more than 5-6 GLs per game. There was only one game where I got 12 GLs, but I was in constant war almost since the beginning.I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

Question was, "Do Great Leaders grow on trees?
Answer: YES, especially if you save the game before each attack and then reload when you don't get the outcome you desire.

I need to find that tree as I am in the year 2000 in AU402 and have not gotten a single leader.
I have had as many 17 civs declare war on me at anyone point in time.Comment
