You are Sury of the Khmer Empire except you went to bed last night and had a Wet Dream. Your empire has collapsed, no vanished, and you are left to discover if this is real or some nightmare. For starters, this is a Tiny map with 6 rival empires seemingly sharing your dream. Resources abound to help you jumpstart your new world but will you thrive or get swallowed by other cultures? As this is my first BOTM and it's Immortal, I am not offering an Adventurer save so I tried to give everyone a chance to survive or at least enjoy this game while it lasts. I wish you all well.

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

Choose your Game

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.
