My suggestion:

Aztecs
Large map
Not more than 8 civilizations
Pangaea, max. land percentage
Planet age: 4 or 5 billion years
Rain/Climate: Defaults

Or: "Why the Aztecs are really Militaristic, Religious, and Expansionist rolled into one."

I've noticed that some other posters have suggested a game as the Babylonians; I wouldn't mind such a game either. (The Scientific/ Religious combo is your friend!)

The races are already set for the game of the month. Next month is the English and the month after the Americans. Look <a href="http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3gotm/civ3gotm_archive.shtml">here</a> for more info.

I think this would be good to take advantage of the English characteristics:

Difficulty: Monarch
Size: Standard or Large
Landmass: Archaepelago
Water Coverage: 80%
Age: 4 Billion
Rain/Climate: Defaults
Civs: 5 if standard, 7 if large

This allows for an expansive island game, with an emphasis n naval superiority. The British start with Alphabet and Pottery, which means that they can get Map Making first. This will result in a very different sort of game than people are used to playing.

Isn't the GoTM3 on Monarch Difficulty or is it at Prince?

GOTM3 is Regent. (Prince)

I was testing Squiggy...

How about a HUGE map :crazyeyes :crazyeyes
4 a change.

1 civilization

diety

:D

Come on some variety please
at least GOTM3 was suprising. that start position was a shocker

It took people a very long time to complete GOTM 2 and that was just large. Huge would not make peeps happy.

My suggestion :

Difficulty: Emperor
Size: Standard
Landmass: Archaepelago
Water Coverage: 80%
Age: 5 Billion
Rain/Climate: Defaults
Civs: 4
