You will play on Monarch difficulty level as Willem van Orange of the Netherlands on a unique map I'm calling Quattro Stagioni (Four Seasons). Around here, it is a term commonly used for a pizza with different toppings in four quarter sections. Inspiration comes in many forms! This map is comprised of 4 quareters, each random generated maps using four different mapscripts (Rainforest, Lakes,Fantasy, and Inland Sea) which comprise this 52x32 tile map. You start in the middle at the four corners, on a galley to make any section you choose to settle in viable. There are no AI nor Tribal Villages within 10 tiles of this location, so you may want to explore a little before deciding. Reasources and terrain is virtually unaltered from the original corresponding locations from the original mapscript (for example, the North West is from the Northwest quadrant of a Rainforest map, And the South East is from the Southeast quadrant of a Fantasy map). I hope everyone can learn about the various map scripts and choose a direction best suited to your aims. This might help: https://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/map-scripts-guide Good luck, and have fun!

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