Adventure Nineteen - Results

[Sullla]

A few words about the formatting... it looks a bit strange here on my website, but that's because I've designed the tables to fit the much smaller frames that are used on the RB website. Those tables *SHOULD* compress nicely and look very good once Gris gets them up on the main page. At least in theory. They don't look all that bad right now either, methinks.

As far as the game itself, I mailed out 45 start files and we ended up with 23 reports. That's pretty good; we always have far more players trying their hands at these games than reports submitted. A number of faces delurked for this game, which was great to see. Since there was no scoring for this game, I organized the results by victory type and in order of finishing date.

Spaceship was the most popular victory type; there were as many Spaceship wins as all other victories combined. No one actually pursued a Cultural victory, surprisingly enough! (Saving that for Epic Eleven?) In a slightly less-encouraging trend, we had more incomplete games (13) than completed ones (10), mostly due to lack of enough time to finish. I'll try to keep that in mind when designing future games, although Civ by its very nature drags a lot in the endgame...

And just to explain fully, Darrell and I obviously get roped into shadow-game territory, while Jabah and Chaos Theory have to be placed there as well because their reports were submitted late. Sorry about that, but I've made sure to include your games in the results with everyone else.

Congratulations to all participants, and especially to Darrell for sponsoring this event.

When can us lurkers and latecomers get a save so we can try our hand at this nifty adventure? When you are in world builder NO PEEKING!

And time permitting, I will be one of the ones delurking for Epic 11

I had the latest launch?

A pretty pathetic showing. Of course, since I was going for new world back door domination I guess it is to be expected.

The formatting looks fine to me, but the spelling of my name could be improved upon .

I've already sent Griselda a Worldbuilder save from Adventure 19. It should be added to the site whenever she next has time to do an update (which will probably also include adding these results + the ones from Epic 10).

And Sofis, good catch. That's what I get for not cutting-and-pasting all the names to make sure I had them right.

best way to do that is before you go into WB turn resource flags off, and cover up the minimap on your screen (with a post-it note or something). seeing that minimap can spoil so much of the surprise!

well the absolute best way is to do what i do ... ask your hubby to do whatever it is you need. i needed "is there coal anywhere on this continent?" after two terribly frustrating games in a row *giggle*. but not everyone has that option.

and zoom all the way in on a tile that you can see.

[Jabah]

No problem with my game being a shadow.
My victory date was 1808 (last AI killed) or 1810 (victory message), as written in the tiny repport I had added just recently.

Thks again for your works (Darrell and yourself)

Thanks Sulla for handling all the logistics for me...truth be told this event was a lot more work for him than me . I really enjoyed even reading everyone's reports. I noticed a lot of people did not finish their game or have time for a full report, so the scenario obviously did have some flaws. Hopefully we can get more complete games/reports in future events .

I didn't finish this one. I took mass media trying to see how early I could get a diplo win, but just lost interest in the game after failing to win by 1000 AD :P Thanks for all the effort putting this together and mailing out individual saves, though.
