Deity level is not to be taken lightly. Anyway, this game is winnable so you should try your best. Enjoy!
Cyrus is Expansive and Creative; starting with Agriculture and Hunting. Your Expansive trait adds 3 health per city, and doubles production speed of Granary and Harbor. Your Creative trait adds 2 culture per city, and doubles production speed of the Theater and Colosseum.
Immortals are mounted units with 2 movement points. They have a 30% chance of retreating in combat rather than dying, and get a 50% strength bonus against archers.

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:
- Escort: You receive an extra Worker and 2 extra Archers, all sharing the Settler tile.
