While the general Hall of Fame is an ongoing competition, we like to run time-definite competitions between updates that we call Gauntlets.

For the G-Major CL we challenge you to play as Casimir III of Poland on a tiny “large islands” map on epic speed. You also need to play on King difficulty, and win a science victory. The deadline is December 31. For more details please check here.

For the G-Minor CCXXIII we challenge you to play as Wu Zetian on a small highlands map on quick speed. This game must be played on Warlods difficulty and must be won with a domination victory. Also here the deadline is December 31. For the details please check this thread.
