Two wow's actually. First, excellent game! That was very nicely done. I started out with delusions of a 20K option and did fair in Entremont, but there's a second wow...

Your Rome was incredible?!  In my game the three Eastern civs were incredibly cooperative and balanced and without war. They were about 4 techs ahead by the end of the Ancient era, and with low shields and no prebuilds I basically missed the entire early-to-mid wonder cascade and abandoned thoughts of a 20K win. I bounced back to get Shakespeare's and Bach's by the slimmest of margins (losing Smith's) and all the later ones, but the civ-culture pace and tech pace did not allow a 20K win.

Not only was Rome not a power in my game, they were the weakest of the three and I had to prop them up with gifts to not let more enlightened England become a runaway. I didn't expect that kind of differences in what went on in the 'other half'. I think T-Hawk's Eastern continent was different from both of ours, and in one players Epic Rome founded on HIS mainland, and in another Rome founded the island just off Entremont's coast.

That was a huge plus for you, and you took great advantage of it -- well done

  Tourney Mission Statement:
Existing Civ III tournaments, contests and group events are universally plagued by elements or shortcomings that lead often to compartmentalized results. Spoilers and privileged info is readily made available while games are still in progress. The game itself remains in flux through a patching process. The scoring system measures only a few elements of the gameplay. We at Realms Beyond are not satisfied to settle for these conditions and compromises.

The Realms Beyond is home to gamers who go beyond the norm, who creatively add depth to good games to make them better, who choose to set our own added limits to gameplay for the purpose of increasing challenge, varying gameplay flavor, and getting more out of the games we love. We discard the usual standards and venture into realms beyond, where we share our passion for gaming with one another, and with those who are like-minded.

We develop and refine our tournament as we go, with the help of the players. Each game is subject to rules, but we keep the framework light, the emphasis on excellence, the focus on the spirit of the game. Come and play. Share, compare, teach, and learn.
