Image that is used for this game

In this game, you will rule as Czarina Catherine the Great over the Russians, who are Expansionist and Scientific and start the game with the knowledge of Pottery and Warrior Code. The Russian Unique Unit is the Cossack, a Cavalry replacement with a stronger defensive and the Blitz ability, thus being able to attack up to three times in one turn.

This is a Regent-level game created by templar_x. Will you expand the Russian Empire to the confines of the world?

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.
