This scenario was created by Pìu Freddo, and you play as the Americans. Many thanks to him for stepping in.

Here are his comments from the introduction thread:

I've made the following changes to the standard rules:

Workers, not Settlers, come from Goody Huts. I've switched "Starting unit 1" and "Starting unit 2" around. Iron locations are fixed.

The map is generated by the editor and chosen for looking sort of nice. AI civilizations are chosen randomly by the game without cultural affinity. I've moved the starting locations of most civilizations by one or two tiles to a better one and tweaked coastlines somewhat. That's all. I've never created a map and scenario in the editor before, but I have tested that the thing with the Workers works and played a bit.

Make sure that NoAiPatrol is set correctly, follow all the rules and have fun!

Below is a picture of your start location.

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.
