Welcome to the forty-eighth game in the GOTM V Training Series! There are plenty of new features in Civilization 5 Gods & Kings to explore and the Training Series games will allow new and old GOTM fans to try out these new features in a friendly environment. You are all encouraged to post your questions, stories, advice, tricks and failures in the dedicated game threads described below. You can read more about the GOTM and Training Series concept in this thread. Before going into the details of this game, we would like to ask you to abide to our most sacred rule: don’t replay any turns. If you make a mistake, accept it and try to recover. It's better to do the bad moves in the Training Series instead of in the actual GOTM competition, once it starts.
In this game, the designated VC is Science. You may win by any VC you wish, as all VC's are enabled, but the results will be posted with fastest finish by Science victory and then all other VC listed below by fastest time.
In this game you will play as Haile Selassie and lead The Ethiopian Empire to victory. It's a mystery map played at Prince difficulty and at standard pace. Science victory is the designated VC for this game, all victory conditions are enabled. You will have until December 15nd to complete the game and submit.
Very happy to have our Mac players with us, hope you enjoy the game.
**The Fall Patch hasn't been released for the Mac version of Civ 5 and may not be playable for Mac users. We hope this is remedied as soon as possible.**
Please note that you are only allowed to build Oxford University one time. In addition, once you receive your two free techs from Rationalism, and should you switch to Piety, you may not switch back to Rationalism to gain an additional two free techs.

In this game, you will be playing as Haile Selassie, you possess The Spirit of Adwa. You gain a Combat bonus (+20%) when fighting units from a Civilization with more Cities than Ethiopia.
You can build the Stele, which replaces the Monument. It increases the Culture and Faith of a city, speeding the growth of the city's territory and the civilization's acquisition of Social Policies and Religions. Only Ethiopia may build it.
You can also train the Mehal Sefari, which replaces the Rifleman. They start with promotions that give them bonuses fighting in rough terrain and near their capital. They are slightly cheaper to build than the Rifleman that they replace. Only Ethiopia may train it.
This is where you will start:
Information about threads associated with TSG
TSG Announcement thread (this one). This thread is used to announce the game and clarify the settings and rules (don’t be afraid to ask questions). It’s also used to discuss the game before you start, and post problems with opening the save. Please don’t post any information from a game you have started. Instead use the next thread.
Game In Progress thread. This thread is used to discuss the game once it's on the way. There are no reading or posting restrictions as such (apart from normal decency), although we encourage players to use the spoiler tags for screenshots. Here you can post questions related to the game and share your achievements/anger/frustration/victories while you play. During the time the game is active, please do not post any information concerning the game outside of the spoiler threads including screen shots and videos.
After Action Report thread. In this thread you can post the results of your game. Please state (preferably in the post title) your victory date and score, as recorded in the Hall of Fame, and the most important: your path to glory! , We will create a separate thread with the results at the end of the two week period (sorted by date and score). Players are encouraged to provide feedback on the game. Some players like to replay the game, and although we will not record the results from a replay, you can still post your new experiences. The game will not be closed as such, but after two weeks, the results will be compiled, and will not necessarily be updated with reports coming in after the finish date.

for all tiles around with Civil Service. Machu Pichu and maybe a little detour to astronomy can be valuable here especially if we are stuck on a continent.
