C-IV Botm CCXCIII: Netherlands

Well... some of you might have some time on your hands to play another game. I had time on my hands to make one. In BOTM 293 you will play as Willem van Orange at Monarch difficulty level. I built you a map based on the Maze mapscript, but have done some messing around with it so explore, figure out what works for you and your end goals, and most of all have fun. There is only one save-Contender-because I envision a day I have to upload all the entries and want to keep things simple because I am lazy. I will attach the save to the announcement thread on the start date (July 15, 2025). There is no deadline for now... when you finish attach your save to a PM to me @kcd_swede and I will take care of things for you. When we have an automated submission system functioning, I will post in the announcement thread with the deadline, which will be approximately 2 weeks after we are ready to get back to normal. Have a lot of fun, whether in playing or enjoying the summer.
