In this Monarch game of the month for Conquests, designed by Lanzelot, you will rule as King Gilgamesh over the Sumerians, who in Civilization III are an agricultural and scientific people. You start the game with the knowledge of Bronze Working and Pottery. Your unique unit is the Enkidu Warrior, a warrior with defense 2 that upgrades to a pikeman instead of a swordsman.

The map is a Pangaea map with 30% land area, the climate is arid and warm.

The normal changes to the Conquests rules apply to this game: Iron locations are fixed, and Workers instead of Settlers can be popped from Goody Huts. The impact of disease has been diminished.

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.
