Somehow we've managed to overlook Germany for the entire COTM series ... so far; time to correct this oversight! You'll play as Bismarck and lead the Germans against a Pangaea map full of AI civs - 11 in all! Should be fun! Good Luck!

As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!

Special notes for C3C

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.
