Image that is used for this game
Once upon a time, Britain was part of a cosmopolitan empire. Now, since the collapse of that empire, the land had fallen into a Dark Age. You, Arthur Pendragon, have been hailed as the leader of your people, by virtue of having pulled a sword from a stone. (Or was it because some watery tart threw the sword at you? Truth can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from legend.) But be warned! Your mentor has taught you that this land is surrounded by avaricious neighbors who would conquer it. (Or was he explaining that these neighbors have a vital part to play and are eager to unite with Britain? Or did he mean that they just want to be left alone? Merlin can be difficult to understand when he's giving one of those "prophetic" lectures.)

You begin the game at war with one of those neighbors, an old rival. (Or is she an old flame? Perhaps your half-sister? Truth must await the invention of the tabloid press.) Rumor has it that she has taken her followers and withdrawn to a place not of this Earth. From there, she intends to rebuild her power until she can usurp your throne and place her own son upon it. (Is he also your son? Truth must await the invention of a paternity test.) Rumor also has it that she has enchanted powerful monsters to do her bidding. None who have come near have ever returned alive!

Will you be the guardian of your people? Will you forge a United Kingdom? Or will one of your rivals succeed in doing so?

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:

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:

You play on deity level. Why would do something the easy way, when you can choose the most difficult way possible? The AI still only have noble level starting units. Just do nothing for a few turns, if you think they don't have enough of an advantage.
