Saves are now available for GOTM-04: India (Gandhi).

The game download page is HERE.

Please note: the class details are as follows:

Adventurer Class Bonuses:

1. An extra settler.
2. A (fast) worker.
3. Two archers (instead of a single warrior).

Challenger Class Equalisers:

1. Start knowing no technologies!

Remember: You can play the Adventurer class if you:

2. Have never won on Emperor level before.

Please note that in playing this class, your score will be reduced by 15% for ranking purposes.

Ok, I'm in the top half AND I won only one time in a very easy and very small pangea map, am I lucky?

Sounds like you should give the 'contender' class a go!

Here we go!

Let the suffering begin. Whoever said, "No pain, no gain" is either an idiot or masochist. I wonder what I am then...

Wow, now that's what I call a bonus!
I ranked top half in 4otm1, but didn't finish 2 or 3, and never played Emperor before...so I consider myself eligible.

Not really sure though if I should take this huge bonus, it could mean a quite different game...otoh I got wiped in 50% of my testgames before 1AD, and had barely half the score of the top AI by 1500AD in the other 50%...

Ok, let's start this carnage

ooh, didnt expect GOTM4 to be out so soon, last one was on the 5th of the month, wasnt it?

I only finished GOTM3 2 days ago, but im ready for a fresh challenge. Havent tried Emperor before, although i do alright on Monarch. Here goes nuthen

 

[Kurbads]

aaaagh, urrra! uber fatherland, here I go for battle! considering two tries I made last two days on these settings, I will finish this fast. somewhere around time AI sends his maceman.. never have done emperor, never any GOTM, nor have full picture of how all things happen in the game.

Adventurer Class? no way! I better die in battle then. also this class bonuses are so high, its even no fun I think.

Well, I had originally planned on playing the Adventure class, but the bonuses seem way too much. I'll play Open class than.

 

[kingjoshi]

Are we even allowed to say that much before the spoilers?

No, we're not allowed to say anything at all.

In any case, that were some practice games well spent.

Ainwood, it might be helpful to post the spoiler threads earlier then usual. Misery likes company and we could commiserate together.

 

[Rowro]

I am having problems running Gotm 4. I think I got a "unprotected version" for Gotm 3. Can someone help me?

I suggest you run Ainwood's utility and than send the information to Ainwood or AlanH to be checked out.

I'll open them on the 4th / 5th, with clear details of what periods the various spoilers will cover.
