Image that is used for this game
The gods have left Olympus to rule on Earth, each in their own domain, scattered to the four corners of the Earth. Some of the other gods regard you with fondness, others with emnity, but shockingly few bend the knee to mighty Zeus and his rightful role as allfather and chief of the gods. You are determined to put that right and bring them all under your rule again with the help of the ever faithful Poseidon. Of course with the gods of Mount Olympus walking the earth human religions cannot be allowed to thrive and they have been consigned to the underworld where no living being may go, even if you could get by the fearsome Cerberus. Mighty Zeus your first order of business was, of course, ensuring New Olympus was home to the mighty statue named after you. Next you turned your mind to the raging barbarian tribes outside your city, you thought of building a Great Wall to keep them out unfortunately Arges built it whilst you were working on your statue, still there were enough stones left from their project to build a small wall around your city and you do have a strong guard of honour on hand. How will you defeat the challenges posed by both the human and the divine and establish yourself once again as ruler of all the worlds?

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:

Arges, Leader of the Cyclopes, much as you like Zeus you do not agree he should be ruler of all in fact you rather fancy the position yourself! You start in a glorious with many materials on hand to help you build magnificent wonders.

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:

Cronus, King of the Titans, you despise Zeus for the terrible place he has put you in charge of, from here it will be very difficult but you are determined to rule the world!
