Game Closed. Champion: Zigeuner

This game is for CivIV Warlords expansion

Version: 2.08

Civ:

7 AI Rivals

Start Position:

Victory Conditions

All Victories have been enabled and all will be allowed EXCEPT TIME.

Highest Normalized Score in any of the active Victory Conditions will be declared GOTM Champion for May.

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 PM your final save (hopefully one just before victory) to me. Saves should be named as follows: [username]May2007GOTM.CivWarlordsSave (in a zip file)

 

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...

Note: The Forum software doesn't allow file extensions of the length of the Civ4 Warlords save file. For this reason, the start save is in a zip file and your submissions will need to be as well. If you are not sure how to accomplish this or how to unzip the start save, please post here and someone will help you.

Every time I click on the save, I get a c++ runtime error, as shown by the screenshot.

1. I can start a new game or play my usual PBEM's just fine.

2. When I tried to load from within the game as well, it couldn't find the file... and I renamed it GameStart.civwarlordssave, since it was only titled as GameStart with no .civwarlordssave suffix.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

I emailed you the .sav...

(If it looks like you're winning I will use this unofficial procedure to get your entry disqualified. I just need one more victory... )

heh, considering that the GOTM was posted halfway into May, that could be an even better way for me to snatch another glorious trophy...

Okay, I figured out what I did wrong. I didn't right click and save as... and then rename the suffix to .zip. I should have remembered this board does things a little differently. So I guess, Zig, you have a problem now.

But thank you for trying to help, regardless, cousin

Oh, come on, it's not that bad. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.... or so they say.
