Large Arid map at Marathon Speed. Aren't you eager to command your Camel Archers to battle?
Saladin is Philosophical and Spiritual; starting with Mysticism and The Wheel. Your Philosophical trait doubles Great People birth rate and doubles production speed of University. Your Spiritual trait allows no anarchy and doubles production speed of Temple.
Camel Archers are better than Knights in that they have a 25% chance of retreating in combat rather than dying.
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:
- Culture: You start the game with 2 extra units: 2 Great Artists.

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:
- Monarch: You play the game at Monarch difficulty, although AI will receive Prince starting units and you will score as if playing on Prince.
