The wide-spread adoption of gunpowder weapons has changed the face of war. As your neighbors see an opportunity to divide your lands between them, tensions are high. Armies stand ready to attack or defend. Can you weather the storm and overcome your enemies? How quickly can you defeat them and raise your banner over every city of this world? 

 

Scenario Conditions 

  • Difficulty: Nation 

  • Speed: Endless 

  • End Conditions: Eliminate all other Empires 

  • Game version: Shackleton Update, No DLC, no Mods 

 

As this scenario is provided through a save file, these conditions cannot be changed, and they are listed only for your information. The save should remain compatible with future versions of the game, but this is not guaranteed. 

 

How to play the scenario: 

  1. Download the save FlintAndSteel.ctr
  2. Place the save in “/Documents/Humankind/Save Files”  
  3. Load the save labeled “FlintAndSteel” in game 
  4. Play to win the scenario as quickly as possible
    For the leaderboard, winning is defined as 
    1. Be the last remaining empire (no vassals) 
    2. Have higher fame than any AI player 
  5. Submit a score to the leaderboard, as described below 

 

How to Submit your Score to the Leaderboard 

  1. On your victory turn, create a manual save with your G2G username and turn number in the name 
  2. Take a screenshot of your victory screen 
  3. Create a thread in the Scenario 07 Contest Section, please mention your victory turn in the title or text 
  4. Include the save and screenshot in your submission post 
  5. If you have played again and wish to submit a new score: 
    • Reply to your existing thread with a new post including save and screenshot 
    • Do not edit your original post with the new score 
    • Please do not forget to update your own submission thread, even if you have shared your new score somewhere else 

 

Important Note: Please do not rename the save file through your OS. If you rename the save file (instead of changing the name in game when saving), this change will not display correctly in game if we have to check the save. 

 

All entries will be added to the leaderboard, ranked by how quickly they won the scenario (faster victories ranking higher). In case of a tie for the victory turn, the player with higher Fame score will be ranked higher. If that is still not enough, the player who destroyed more units will be ranked higher.  

While everybody will be entered into the Leaderboard displayed in the contest section after the challenge ends, only the top players will be worthy of entering the “Hall of Fame” and receiving a special Games2Gether badge to commemorate their success. Please note that the badges may not be ready by the end of the challenge, and you may receive them later.
