Image that is used for this game
Welcome to Christmas Island!!!, you will play as Ragnar. because its been a viking long time since you had that chance! All the diplo has been manipulated. So check your relations! Nobody likes having Vikings home to visit... we are not the kind of folks you take home to meet mom. Merry Christmas. Christmas Island is a place of wonder, but infested with crabs. So nake some crab salad, and get out there and have some Holiday Fun! Barbarians start with NO Technolgy in all versions. AI start with 2 archers and 1 settler (except those who begin with Hunting, who replace one of those archers with a scout) in all versions. You also start the game at war with 2 AI (not on your landmass).

As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!

New Players

The Newbies' Guide to Getting Started tells you how to get set up to play GOTMs as well as explaining the competition rules. Please note our no-replaying rule. If you want to enter the competition, don't replay any turns. Feel free to discuss your game with other players, but ONLY in the spoiler threads that we'll open in this forum.

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:

Even those of you who are uncomfortable at Monarch level should have a joyous outcome... play the Adventurer save and it is the same game at Noble level of difficulty, ENJOY!

Contender bonuses:

  • Umm--- Christmas Island is not just an idea... you start on an island, plan accordingly,

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:

Are you a hardcore badass? Take this save (if you dare), you play at DEITY difficulty level. You want an awesome score, go for it! Barbarians have no tech but are raging about it. AI have non-standard starting units as noted above.
