The normal COTM changes apply to this game and so Iron locations are fixed. Workers can be ppped from goodie huts instead of settlers.
In the 117th Conquests Game of the Month, the first custom made map created by Kuningas, you will rule as Lincoln over the Americans, who are expansionist and industrious. You start the game with the knowledge of Pottery and Masonry. Your unique unit is the F-15. [i]"Like other jet fighters F-15s pack very potent attack. They may execute all air missions and have radar that allows them to "see" two quares, regardless of blocking terrain. They may be based in any city or aircraft carrier of the map. In addition, F-15s have Stealth Attack. The F-15 had both lethal land and sea bombardment."[/i] (Civ3 Civilopedia.)
COTM117 is a Monarch-level game. Map is a custom made "archipelago". It should give a fair competition to all AIs versus Human player. Still scouts may prove a good advantage to human even it's "an archipelago". Everything else is as in a random made game.

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.
