PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
Boudica is Aggressive and Charismatic and starts with Hunting and Mysticism. The Aggressive trait gives a free Combat I promotion for Melee and Gunpowder units, and +100% production bonus towards Barracks and Drydocks. Charismatic gives +1 happiness, as well as +1 happiness from Monument and Broadcast Tower, and further reduces the XP needed to promote units by -25%.
Your Unique unit is the Gallic Warrior, replacing the Swordsman. Unlike normal Swordsmen, Gallic Warriors start with the Guerilla I promotion, and can be built with either Copper or Iron. Your Unique building is the Dun, replacing the Walls. The Dun gives a free Guerilla I promotion to all land units (except, ironically, the Gallic Warriors that already have them) on top of the usual defensive bonuses.
IMPORTANT: This game must be played with the BtS 3.19 patch, and the BUFFY mod version 3.19.001.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!

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:
