Please enjoy the game as Cyrus of Persia in Prince difficulty level. Huts and Random Events are active, though I did move the huts near your start position to keep the competition somewhat less random. As you can tell by the late start for this game, it was kind of a hurried mapmaker effort. But since you are all starving to play, I was generous in giving you some food. Beware the raging barbarians.

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

Besides the normal contender, we sometimes provide an easier save (the adventurer save) and an extra-hard save (the challenger).

For this game, we are offering only the contender save - so everyone plays exactly the same start.

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.
