SGOTM 10 - England vs the Barbarians.
The Civ3 Barbarians have looked with envious eyes on their Civ4 cousins who have been granted new powers to build cities, research techs and build wonders.. so they have decided to do the same. You, in the guise of Elizabeth of England (currently celebrating your 80th birthday), will take up the challenge of cutting them back down to size.
This game will be played in Civ3 Conquests only, by as many teams as we can muster. The winner will be the team that destroys the barbarian nation by the earliest game date. All victory conditions are enabled.
The information required to place you in a suitable team is as follows:-
1. Which level (regent, monarch, etc.) are you comfortable playing in a solo game?
2. Are you new to SGOTM?
3. Do you have any preferences as to which team you join?
The game will start on May 7. Thanks again to Gyathaar for the concept and map.
Here's the start.
Map Parameters
Playable Civ - England
Opponents - Six: Mayans, Byzantines, Dutch, Inca, Sumerians, Barbarians.
World size - Standard
Difficulty - Emperor
Landform - Mystery
Barbarians - Non-standard
The map is handbuilt, and therefore may not have a standard configuration.
Game mods:
The game uses the default rules as defined in the SGOTM Reference Thread, with the following modifications:
- Galleys can never enter ocean tiles.
- There are some unusual advanced/modified Barbarian units.
- The Barbarians have research capabilities, and can build cities and wonders.
The SGOTM Mediterranean resources are included, as you can see from the starting screenshot. If you have played SGOTM 9 then you will be ready. Other players may need to download and unzip a small graphics mod pack linked in the Reference thread.
Please visit the following links to ensure that you are adequately prepared, skipping references to PtW or Vanilla versions of Civ3.

Notes:
A. ONLY Conquests version 1.22 (C3C) is supported for this SGOTM. All teams will compete for a single award set:
The Crimson Laurels:
... and the Wooden Spoons
B. All teams must play the sponsored variant - victory will be awarded for the fastest destruction of the Barbarian Nation.
C. All saved game files uploaded to the server are parsed through software that extracts and archives data about your save, including reload count for each turn set.
D. Spoiler information will absolutely NOT be tolerated in this thread.
I look forward to seeing you exercise your creativity in this game. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. May the best team win
