Welcome to the twenty-fourth game in the GOTM V Training Series! There are plenty of new features in Civilization 5 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: dont 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. Good Luck!
In this game you will play as Gandhi and lead the Indian civilization to victory. It's a standard sized random map played at Warlord difficulty and at standard pace. Science victory is the designated VC for this game, all victory conditions are enabled. You will have until December 15th to complete the game and submit.
Mac players are welcome as you currently have the same version as windows.
Please note that you are only allowed to build Oxford University one time.

In this game, you will be playing as Gandhi, you possess Population Growth. Unhappiness from number of cities is doubled (well, no worry there) while unhappiness from number of Citizens is halved..
You can train the War Elephant, which replaces the Chariot Archer. The War Elephant is a more powerful, yet slower, replacement for the Chariot Archer. The unit can move through any terrain without the Chariot Archer's penalty but, as a mounted unit, remains vulnerable to the Spearman. You may build them with the discovery of The Wheel technology and do not need to have a resource to build it.
You can also build the Mughal Fort, which replaces the Castle. The Mughal Fort imporves the city's defensive strength while providing some culture each turn in the city in which it is built. After Flight, it provides a Gold bonus to the city as well. You must discover the technology of Chivalry and have Walls in your city to build 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 (dont be afraid to ask questions). Its also used to discuss the game before you start, and post problems with opening the save. Please dont 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.
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.
