Welcome to conquest game of the month 171, created by MrRandomGuy. In this game, you will be Prince Henry of the Portuguese people, who are expansionist and seafaring. Starting techs are Alphabet and Pottery. Your Unique Unit is the Carrack, an improved caravel that doesn't sink in ocean.

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.
