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:
A worker and a scout have joined your cause. They are on the same tile as the settler. They bring with them the additional knowledge of hunting and mining. Beware! While you should not encounter these characters from the Gilgamesh epic earlier than normal barbarian animals would begin to appear, I can't actually guarantee that. You might encounter them a little earlier. But I have tried to ensure you should survive the encounter... unless you happen to lose your starting settler.* EXPLANATION OF IMPORTANT WARNING: LEAVING ANY CITY UNDEFENDED FOR EVEN A SHORT WHILE IS EXTREMELY RISKY BEHAVIOR!!!Click on the image below to download the adventurer class start save file.
Contender (the standard save)
This is the save that most people play. If you want to enter the competition with a normal game, then download and play this one.
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:
Your warrior has run away with the knowledge of agriculture and the wheel... you start with only the settler, and no technologies. In addition, that wily warrior invented bronze working which he donated to all of your rivals in exchange for the secrets of immortality... which he promptly forgot, (and then died). All AI start with bronzeworking in addition to their normal starting technologies. BE SURE TO READ IMPORTANT WARNING BEFORE CHOOSING THIS SAVE!!! Beware! While you should not encounter these characters from the Gilgamesh epic earlier than normal barbarian animals would begin to appear, I can't actually guarantee that. You might encounter them a little earlier. But I have tried to ensure you should survive the encounter... unless you happen to lose your starting settler.* EXPLANATION OF IMPORTANT WARNING: LEAVING ANY CITY UNDEFENDED FOR EVEN A SHORT WHILE IS EXTREMELY RISKY BEHAVIOR!!!Click on the image below to download the challenger class start save file.
