Somehow that's not entirely what I had thought Ainwood would look like...

"sacrificing the leaders to the Gods"

Does this mean the base rules have been altered to be like they are in the Meso-America Conquest scenario or is this just for flavor?

I haven't played that scenario - I just knew that this is what the Mayans did - its 'flavour' only.

In that scenario, you can sacrifice workers for 40 culture in a city. Fun, but not a good idea for COTM, as it would make 20K cultural victories severely unbalanced.

The Mayans are my favourite.
This is also my first GOTM.
I'll give the open class game a try.

Actually, I'm pretty sure its only 20 culture until you have a Sacrificial Altar in the city, then it becomes 40. Or maybe it's 40 and then becomes 80... Help, I'm only 16 and already losing my memory!

Doesn't really matter whether it's 20/40, but I've never actually played the scenario, only the Warhammer mod which also has it, so you're probably correct.

Sounds like you're having fun Paradigne. Are you keeping notes as you go along? They come in handy when it's time to do a writeup in the Spoiler threads. ainwood normally creates the 1st spoiler thread around the 5th.

I could've started last night... but I'm having a real fun (as in... bloodthirsty and I'm winning ) game as the Arabs so will wait 'til that's finished.

Nice, my first game in GOTM. Play most often on Warlord/Regent, but I guess I'll take on the Open-class Game.
