NoAIPatrol Setting:There has been a lot of discussion regarding the barb behavior in C3C and how the NoAIPatrol flag controls that behavior. For the COTM competition it is highly recommended that all players set the NoAIPatrol flag to 0 to permit fairly consistent barb behavior across all player's games. This is done by opening the "conquests.ini" file in your favorite editor, adding the line "NoAIPatrol=0" to it, and saving.
Special Notes for COTM44 None.
As always, have fun playing the
COTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
You will have your choice of Playing COTM 44 in one of three skill levels that most closely matches your current
abilities - Conquest Class, Open Class, or Predator Class.
Conquest-Class Game Details for Conquest 44
Players who choose
to play in the Conquest class game will receive a set of bonuses designed to
help them focus on key early strategic decisions that may help them to
get more enjoyment out of the specific conditions of this game. The bonuses
ARE NOT designed to guarantee you a win without requiring some good early decisions
to be made and without asking you to manage your Civilization properly.
Players who might be interested in playing the conquest class game could be those players
who might only feel comfortable playing at Warlord or Regent difficulty.
For the purposes of global ranking and comparison to all other GOTM scores, the Conquest class
games scores in the QSC and GOTM results will be weighted downward with an 85% multilpier
to factor out the
value of the additional starting bonuses.
Conquest Class Starting Bonuses:
Conquest class players will begin the game with following unit and game feature bonuses:
- Bonus Units: You start with two Bonus Warriors
- Bonus Tech: Your people also know Pottery
- Bonus Treasury: You start with an extra 50 Gold.

for a combined "Best Overall game" rating.
Players who choose
to play in the Predator class game must overcome an extra set of obstacles
built into their game to provide an extra level of challenge. The intent

strategic play progress from that which you would see for comparison in the conquest class and
open class games.
Players who might be interested in playing the Predator class game could be those players
who have participated in the Elite or Leader divisions of the Medal Play Series or players who just
want an extra level of excitement or challenge.

game scores in the QSC and GOTM results do not receive any compensating scoring bonus for the added
