This scenario was created by GreatBeyond. Many thanks to him for stepping in.

This month you play as India in a slightly modified Demigod game. Gandhi is Commercial and Religious and starts with Ceremonial Burial and Alphabet. Will you be able to pull off the Philosophy slingshot and surge ahead of the AI?

Will you be like Gandhi and try to unite the world by peaceful means or will you be more like Alexander and subjugate the world by the sword. This is a standard size Pangaea map with slightly more land than the original settings call for.

New unit for India; the Fast Worker. He/She works 50% faster than the regular Worker. India is the only one who can build this unit. The regular Worker can not be built by India.

The War Elephant has been awarded 1 extra hitpoint so regular War Elephants will start at a strength of 4, veterans will be 5, and elites will be 6. This is just like Ancient Cavalry. War Elephants have also been given the ability to ignore movement costs in jungle. This might come in handy...

The cow is sacred in most of India, will you use them wisely?

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.
