Scoring
Because getting a high score takes so much time, we take the date you finish your game into account much more than the game itself does. We have developed the following way of scoring the games for the GOTM:
G = GOTM score
N = normal score
M = maximum number of turns
T = turn finished
Note that we look at the turns, not the date.
Because our scoring method accounts for the speed
in which a game is played, the bonus score of the game
itself will be ignored and the score will be calculated manually by pressing F9
and adding all the separate scores (from population, achievements, etc.)
together.

Submission for the GOTM
Your submission for the GOTM will generally be due around the first Saturday after the 5th of the following month.
When submitting your Game of the Month, you need to send in the required saved games; saved around AD 1, AD 1000, and just before the game ends (by taking the last city, a spaceship landing, or forced retirement).
Please rename the saved games as follows: Nickname_GOTMXX_Date.sav
For example:
Duke of Marlbrough_GOTM30_AD1.sav [Your AD 1 Save]
Duke of Marlbrough_GOTM30_AD1000.sav [Your AD 1000 Save]
Duke of Marlbrough_GOTM30_AD2020.sav [Your Last Turn Save]
Also provide some basic information about your game:
- Name you use in the CivFanatics Forums
- Your Score
- The Ending Turn/Year
- Any notes that are needed to complete the turn.
When you have these saves together, please send them to the GOTM Staff.
