Image that is used for this game
This time you have the challenge of raging barbs, a potentially slow start because your starting techs aren't suited to the land around you, and I've made the game Epic, just to give the barbs extra turns to spawn in. You can see from the starting area that you are on the coast which will give you some protection, but I'll tell you for free that there is still a lot of land nearby for the barbs to spawn from. For what it's worth, I test-played to 10AD without building the great wall (there isn't a 1AD turn on epic - it's 5BC then 10AD) and survived, so it is possible!

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:

Raging barbs? Eeek! Help!!!! You play on noble level (except that the AI still starts with monarch level starting units)

Contender (the standard save)

This is the save that most people play. If you want to enter the competition with a normal game, then download and play this one.

Contender bonuses:

  • None.

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:

Monarch!?! Difficult?!?!? I can beat monarch with both hands tied behind my back and and Donald Trump stamping his feet on my keyboard and screaming 'But I won! It's not fair!' into my ear every 10 seconds! You play on deity level (except that the AI still starts with monarch level starting units).
