This has probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find it. What's the difference between the conquest, open and predator type games?

The Open Class game is the GOTM game that all the players have played each month in all previous months. The difficulty level of this game goes up and down each month to help provide variety and differing levels of computer opponent opposition in the games. Over a six month period of time you will generally see games at Regent, Monarch, Emperor, and Diety levels at a 1, 2, 2, 1 frequency.
The Predator class game is something new that we have added this month as a way to provide a little extra challenge for players who would like a more intense game than might be found in the open class game. You can find out more about the predator class game here.
Any player may play in the Open Class of Predator Class games.
The Conquest Class game is also a new innovation this month and is designed for players who would like to participate in the benefits of the GOTM but who might like to play a less intense game compared to the open class game. Players in the Conquest Class game get some extra unit bonuses that will be game specific and designed to help them get more out of the strategic discussions while still letting them play a game that is in many ways the same as the open class game. Players who have previously scored in the upper 50% of a GOTM game may not play the Conquest Class game until after they have played and submitted the Open or Predator class game and there will be a scoring equalizer offset to make sure that Conquest Class game scores are set slightly lower to account for the benefits of the extra starting bonuses included in the game.

Conquest and Predator class players have been asked to use the following icons
Can you confirm that Open class players like me should use no icon in their message posts to strategy or spoiler discussion threads.

Yes, there is no need for Open class players to display a special identity Icon.
This isn't because Open class players are not special too!! It is just that I anticipate that we may have some of the Conquest class players as well as some of the Predator class players who will post some slightly different opening spoilers and having the ID label right there up front in the spoiler post will help to perhaps avoid some confusion and miscommunications.
As an example, the Predator class players do not begin the game with "the wheel" or 25 extra gold as pre-popped goody hut benefits. So their opening research and trade decisions may be slightly different. It will be interesting to see how these factors equalize out by the end of the QSC period or perhaps the beginning of the middle ages.
