PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
Let's try Spain this month, stepping up to Immortal.
Isabella is Spiritual and Expansive; starting with Mysticism and Fishing. As you are Spiritual, you suffer no anarchy and you also get double speed Temple. You get +3 health in every city and double speed Granary and Harbour
Your Unique unit is the Conquistador, replacing the Knight. You still need iron and horses to build one, it has the same stats, but it has +50% against melee units and it enjoys defensive bonuses.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!

Choose your Game
Besides the normal contender, we sometimes provide an easier save (the adventurer save) and an extra-hard save (the challenger).
Below are the details for the saves we are providing for this game. You can choose to play and submit any one of these:
Adventurer (the easy save)
The adventurer starting save has been changed to make your game a bit easier. However, if you submit an adventurer game, you won't eligible to win any of the medals or fastest finish awards when the results are published.
These are your adventurer bonuses:
- Seafare: You have 2 WB on the Clams.
- Mining: You have the knowledge of Mining.

Challenger (the extra-hard save)
Play this save if you want an extra challenge. Your entry will be marked out as a contender
entry when the results are published, so you'll get extra kudos.
These are your challenger equalizers:
- Jungle!: The 5 no-hill forests around the settler are turned into jungle.
- Mystified!: You are so mystified by the jungle that you forget the knowledge of Mysticism.
