PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
It's Remembrance Day today and a perfect time to revisit The Great War. This war started when my tiny little native country of Serbia agitated the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire, causing a cascade of war declarations among the great powers. This month you will lead Serbia against its numerous enemies. In a slight revision of historical events, however, the Entente has chosen not to participate in the war. It's just you against the powerful Alliance. *
* You are permanently at war with 3 AIs and permanently at peace with 3 others. All AIs are permanently at peace. Your 3 enemies have also been provided with one important early game tech.
You will play as Petar I. Petar I is Philosophical and Expansive and starts the game with Agriculture and The Wheel. Philosophical provides +100% great person points and a +100% production bonus of University. Expansive provides +2 health in every city, a +100% production bonus of Granary and Harbor, and a +25% production bonus of Worker.
Your unique unit is the Jannissary. The Jannissary replaces Musketman. Compared to the Musketman, it has a +25% combat bonus against all melee, archery and mounted units.
Your unique building is the Hammam. It replaces the Aqueduct. The Hammam provides +2 happy in the city in which it is built, in addition to Aqueduct's other benefits.
IMPORTANT: This game must be played with the BtS 3.19 patch, and the BUFFY mod version 3.19.003 for Windows players, MACBUFFY for Mac players.As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
