PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
The sun rises on the year 4000BC. Since time immemorial, the French people have lived a nomadic life... but, have other tribes done the same? What are those remnants of older civilizations we can find here and there? You'd better find out!
Louis XIV is Creative and Industrious; starting with The Wheel and Agriculture. As you are Creative, your cities get 2 free culture per turn and you also get double speed Theatre and Colosseum. Being Industrious you get +50% wonder production and you also get double speed Forge.
Your Unique unit is the Musketeer, replacing the Musketman. This unit has two movement points instead of one.
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:
- Extra Resources: There are Gems in the city ruins and Deer on the Settler starting tile.

Contender bonuses:
- None:

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:
- AI's get off to a good start: Are you sure you want to pick the Challenger save this time? Not only AI's get some extra benefits at the start of the game, as more pre-improved tiles and one early tech; additionally you play the game at Monarch difficulty, although AI will receive Noble starting units plus an Archer and you will score as if playing on Noble. Don't use this save if you are not prepared for a hard game. You've been warned!
