Status: offline 		Just throwing out an idea and wondering if anyone is interested.

A starting game has been created with Distant Worlds - Legends (Original theme).

Download here --> Challenge One

Race specific victory conditions are in effect as well as general victory conditions. Everything else is a mystery.

Important : Turn on auto save.

Play the game and when you reach victory please reload the game again at the last saved point.
Now play out the last minutes again with auto-save reduced down to 10 minutes.

Upload the last auto save before victory to a file sharing site and PM me the link so that I can load the saved game. I will play out the last minutes to verify the victory and record the game date. If you want to leave any final instructions to finish the game send me a private mail. Please understand that once I have your winning game file recorded you cannot submit another entry for this challenge. It's only a trial so no worries.

The result will be compared to others that have finished and you will be told your current ranking...privately. No other information will be given.

You will be asked if I can post a screenshot of your empire map and top colonies so others can compare results but again your name will not be released or your ranking.

If your ranking changes I will pm you.

There is no time limit for the first beta contest but if there is enough interest a monthly or weekly contest could be set up with only the winner announced.

If you have any questions about uploading or installing this challenge game please send me a private email.

P.S. please do not post below so results can be cleanly displayed. Send me a private email with any ideas or concerns you have.
