\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////
Welcome to the Seventy-seventh game in the GOTM V Training Series! There are plenty of features in Civilization 5, Gods & Kings and Brave New World to explore and the Training Series games will allow new and old GOTM fans to try out these 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.
Please note: If you wish to make a video of your game, please do not post any links to it until after the game submission date has passed. This is because of the potential spoilers that are created by posting before the end date. Thank you for your cooperation.
In this game, the designated VC is Science. All VCs are enabled but results will be published by fastest Science victory turn.
In this game you will play as Germany and lead the German Empire to victory. It's a standard-sized mystery map played at Immortal difficulty and at standard pace. Science is the designated VC for this game, all victory conditions are enabled. You will have until February 2nd to complete the game and submit.
For those that do not wish to know the map type, please do not check the spoiler below. However, the broken software will reveal the map type if you mouse over the map icon in the load save screen.

Game Version: This game was created in Civ5 Brave New World version 1.0.3.144. Mongols, Brave New World and Gods and Kings are required for this game.
In this game, you will be playing as Bismarck, you possess Furor Teutonicus. Upon defeating a Barbarian unit inside an encampment, there is a 67% chance you earn 25 Gold and they join your side. Pay 25% less for land unit maintenance.
You can train the Panzer, which replaced the Tank. This unit is both faster and stronger than the tank. It can also move after combat, allowing it to blow huge holes in enemy lines and then barrel through before the enemy can repair the gap. The Panzer is available upon the discovery of the Combined Arms technology and you do must have the oil resource to build them.
You can build the Hanse, which replaces the Bank. The Hanse provides the same abilities as the Bank and adds production (hammers) for each trade route within your civilization that connects to a City-State. The trade routes can come from any combination of cities, even cities without the Hanse (for example: If you have trade routes from Berlin to Geneva, Munich to Geneva, Munich to Berlin and Berlin to Brussels, then all cities with the Hanse would get +15% production.) You need to discover the technology of Banking, you must have a Market built in the city and you do not need a resource 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.
Opening Actions 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.
File Upload System
We now have a game file upload system you can find here. Please use it to upload your completed first attempt by saving the game on the turn after your victory or defeat. (by using the "lemme play one more turn" feature) Please note, you must submit your game on the turn following Victory. If you continue to play, the game overwrites the data and your submission could be rejected by the submission system.
This game runs for a month and ends Sunday, 2 February 2014.
