PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
Elizabeth is the queen of a little island nation, there isn't much room to expand but you start with 6 settlers. You might want to be extremely protective of them, as they are the only settlers you will ever have. This is an OCC-like game with a twist....
There was an unforseen problem with the scenario, in that you cannot settle the settlers in OCC. So, in order to preserve the scenario (which I kind of liked) I will remove the OCC option, but enforce it by manually reviewing the saves.
You are not allowed to build any settlers in this game! Building a settler WILL result in your game being disqualified
Elizabeth is Financial and Philosophical ; starting with Mining and Fishing. Your Financial trait gives +1 gold to any tile with a least 2 gold. Your Philosophical trait gives you +100% Great Person birth rate and double production speed of University.
Elizabeth's unique unit is the Redcoat, which is a Rifleman with an additional +25% against gunpowder units.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
