Warrior Queen Hatsheput of Egypt. Warrior Queen Hattie is so blood thirsty, she won't stop conquering until the entire world is hers. She considers world conquest a given - conquest and domination victories are beneath her. Map Generation: no edits, regenerated until I liked the start and there wasn't a lot of desert/tundra/ice nearby. Queen Hattie is not sweet - there isn't any sugar (map oddity detected by gotmhelper). Barbarians don't have any techs. You get an extra week to play; because a) you had to wait for the game and b) game may take longer than quick conquest. Eleven random AIs.

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

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:

You hate events and refuse to play with them. You prefer this event free save even though it is ineligible for medals or fast awards. Monarch, No Events
