Welcome to conquest game of the month 169, created by Più Freddo. In this game, you will rule as Chancellor Gerhard Schröder over the Germans, who are Scientific and Militaristic and start the game with the knowledge of Bronze Working and Warrior Code. This is a Deity-level game. The German Unique Unit is the Panzer, a faster Tank. The game has been carefully designed by Più Freddo to cater for players of all skill levels by helping the less experienced player to survive the very difficult and dangerous early stages while offering the experts optimization challenges and opportunity for excellence.
In the beginning of the Valkyrian Times, the Germans found themselves in the middle of a green meadow. It was a richly endowed people, who not only had an extensive Worker force, but also an old Diplomat, called Herr Otto von Bismarck, out and about in the world, to represent the German interest in world politics. Herr von Bismarck had, as a diplomat, no personal military power, but could move with surprising speed.
The German tribe has been given the suitable tools: Don't forget to build up you army!
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. In addition to this, the following changes have been made to terrain causing Disease in order to limit the impact of chance on the competition:
- Flood Plains do not cause Disease
- Jungles and Wetland have their Disease level lowered from 50% to 25%
- Knowledge of Sanitation cancels Disease in Jungles and Wetlands

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.
