I guess it is time for a Deity game. I had a twisted concept for making a really challenging Noble level game, but since the schedule called for a Deity game... that can wait. I decided instead to give you the sweetest start you could ever hope for on a Deity map. Not the best leader perhaps, but I think you all will do just fine. I hope you enjoy. And I really will try to report some prelim and unofficial summer games (BOTM291 and beyond) results soon.

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.
