Escape from 2016 ... You are trapped in a horrid Fantasy Realm world. You desparately need to find a way to the lush green grasses of reality that you hope will be 2017. Be assured that reality does exist on this map. Your starting area may have generated by the Fantasy Realm script, but most of the map is actually fairly normal. The trouble is - it'll take quite a bit of work to break out of the Fantasy Realm area. To help you out a bit, you start with a Great Spy. Unfortunately 2016 intervened again, and managed to put your Spy on almost the opposite side of the World from your settler. Oh, and just to add some mild interest to the game, the AIs commemorate some of the people we've lost and some of the events from 2016.

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