PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
Jeffa asked for a green, lush, rich map. That's what you will get this time (perhaps). Your neighbors do not appreciate your unfair advantage though so they might be a bit upset.
Peter is Philosophical and Expansive; starting with Hunting and Mining. The Philosophical trait gives you +100% Great People Birth Rate, and 100% production bonus towards Universities. Expansive provides +3 health in your cities, and 100% production bonus towards Granaries and Harbors.
Your Unique unit is the Cossack, replacing the Cavalry. The Cossack has the same properties as the Cavalry, but gains 50% bonus against Mounted Units.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!

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.
