Compete in the One City Challenge!!!

[Rhuarc]

Here is the web site for the One City Challenge scores! Now all we need is some people to win, or at least finish the game! Come on people, try out this scenario, if you even finish it then you are doing good!!!

[berXpert]

I see the page but the 5690 score need more info I think, i.e. the year, gold, science, advances, the way he win (gaia controler, killing every one, etc.) that should make more interesting for read.

[Rhuarc]

I agree with you, but I post all of the science and advances from each person don't you think that woulget too long?! or do you mean what they were currently researching at the end of the game. Oh, what settings do you think would be good for everyone to play on for psoting? It would be best if everybody starts out on the same level so that the scores aren't weighted to those who played on easy

BerXpert,

I sure did not win with that score of 5690 I came in last I already e-mailed Rhuarc before I found this string. I was playing hard level with Barbs on roving hords. I got to Explosives when the game ended. I tried to build to many city improvments and not enough troups. The barbs took out 4 of the 8 cives for me.

I like the idea of a set standerd of play, We can see who is the beat.

[berXpert]

I was thinking in the amount of techs reached, and other statistics, maybe the last advance as you said...

here's an example of what I think



Player......Score...Sci...Gold...Date end....Reason
================================================== =============
berXpert......100....26......140...3254 BC....Killed
Rhuarc......97000...100....25540...1254 AC....Gaia Controller

[berXpert]

So preacherman you are still playing it?

I'll try it on week end.

[Rhuarc]

what do you guys think would be a good game setup for everybody to play with? I was thinking very hard with barbarians on the highest level, and 8 civs. This SHOULD be hard enough that it takes people a while to win, what do you think? I just hope there are enough people interested in this!! I'll set up the scoring form on my web page tonight. Thanks for the ideas! And if anybody wants to help out just holler at me!

[Rhuarc]

Also, should we say play with or without the medmod? I would be for playing with it, but some people might not want to install the mod, so it is ok with me if you want to use the regular version. I have both, so whichever will work.

[preacherman]

I have played three games so far, I lost the last two when my slaves revolted. first time I only had the milita in my city The next time I had three units but when you start to wipe out civs you collect alout of slaves. good for production but need to many units to keep them under control.

With Barbs on ranging hords you only have to worrie about 3 other civs to win. But while you are looking for those civs you must watch out for large armies of Barbs. They always seem to have the up to date units.


this is a great game I won't post my scores they were lower then the one I already posted

I would have to vote for medmod, I have lost files and can't get the game to run in normal. I don't think it would make that big a difference in ether game both sides will have the same units. In medmod you just have a larger selection to choose from but also to face.
Sure could use spell check

[Rhuarc]

Anyone who wishes to compete against others in the One City Challenge, play either version, on Very Hard, with 8 civs, and Barbarians on the hardest setting. Map should be Normal size. (I don't remember what the exact names of th sizes are!! If someone finds that this is too easy we can up the map size one notch.) When you finish either post your scores here, or email them to me at wendell777@hotmail.com. Good luck, and believe me, you are going to need it!!!

When posting scores please include, score, science you were researching at end of game, amount of gold you had, the date it ended, and the reason it ended (killed, gaia controller, conquest, etc...) Thanks!

Preacherman, I still need some of this info from you. Thanks man!

[preacherman]

Rhuarc, can't help you with that info I deleated the game. I will be playing again and will give it to you on new game. Watch out for those slaves

[Rhuarc]

Its ok, don't worry about it. When u give me your new scores I'll delete off the old ones. Oh, did u see the game setup we are going to use? Very Hard, 8 civs, barbarians at highest level. Let me know if that seems to easy ok! Thanks!

[berXpert]

The weekend finished and I can't complete my game. Maybe the next weekend or some free time in this days.

Here a resume of my actual stage:

Year: 1700
Science: Democracy just discovered and switching into. Cannion making on the way
Gold: 9700
Wonders: Piramids, Great Wall, Galileo Telescope
Position: The last

Any suggestions to continue the game, I try to start the war with germans (the worst civ up to me) but they have better units. Do you think democracy is a good choice?

I was thinkinh about discover the Nukes and start a nuclear war, 'coz the barbarians have not capture any civ, so the 8 civs are still playing.

[Rhuarc]

no problem, just let me know when you finish. I am going to try to finish my game tonight. I'm trying to get snapcase to post about the OCC on the CTP2 news page, but he hasn't responded back so far.

[berXpert]

Congratulations to my self!

Finally I just ended it!!!

Very Hard, with 8 civs, and Barbarians on the hardest level

Score: 11375
Gold: 784,481 (i got 1'500,000 but I buy some wonders)
Science: Last discoverd Digital Encryption, next robotics 30 turns
Wonder: Last build Data Heaven
Position: Me 6th, Irish 7th, Germans 8th
Date end: 2300
Reason: Humanity choose a leader at the begining of the XXIV century who will reign the earth due his leadership (ME )



In the last 20 years I send some nukes to the Irish and capture it with an helicopter and a pickmen and they finish with 1 city. So I think that the AWESOME victory can be reached killing every one. I will try it next weekend.

Here's a picture from the final window.
