Hi, you haven't played as Vikings in a while, so why not now? The metals of every sort have been removed from the Pangea (I think), but all metals can be found on an island which you wil probably need to cross ocean water to get. (Again, I think, not 100% sure). Enjoy and do what you can with what you got, I think it will be fun, or frustrating, or just insane. That's the world today, so play on!

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.
