Yes! Humbaba is back! But this time, he is not your enemy. After months of secret negotiations followed up by complicated PFI agreements to implement the deal[*] and sacrificial pillaging of various opponents, you and Humbaba have agreed to work together for victory! Humbaba, who has come to Earth manifested as an artillery unit, will be working with you to build an empire to stand the test of time, and whether you can manage to finish the game and submit. Just as well you have Humbaba with you, as the good mapmaker Dynamicus Spiritus mysteriously forgot to give you a settler this time round. Humbaba has brought along a couple of helpers - his scouts, four loyal panthers, and his personal bodyguard - two swordsmen. All stand at your service. And hey, looking at the starting screenshot, it seems that one of the panthers has already discovered an AI settler and entourage! Oh, and this time, because the Great Mapmaker was feeling kind, He has provided adventurer and challenger saves. Actually, maybe that's why He forgot to provide a settler. [*] Sorry [b]kcd_swede[/b], it seems Humbaba's staff didn't get round to passing the message to you.

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