WARNING: Due to Mapmaker stupidity, the Silver tile has sea-ice on it, and is IMPASSABLE.
In this past year my family and I have been inspired by the courage and hope we have seen in so many ways in Britain, in the Commonwealth and around the world..... It's christmas time again, and you play Elizabeth II, getting ready to deliver her christmas message. The challenge for you is to find someone to deliver the message to. This is a small map, but considering it started out as Terra, that is almost a normal standard size map.
Elizabeth II is Financial and Philosophical ; starting with Mining and Fishing. Your Financial trait gives an extra gold for every tile already producing at least 2. Your Philosophical trait gives you +100% Great Person birth rate and double production speed of University.
Elizabeth II's unique unit is the Redcoat, it is a Rfielman that gets an additional +25% against gunpowder units, it requires Rifling to build
WARNING: Due to Mapmaker stupidity, the Silver tile has sea-ice on it, and is IMPASSABLE.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
