SGOTM9 - Scandinavia and the Star of India.
If you can tear yourselves away from C-IV for a moment, please sign up in this thread for SGOTM 9. The information required to place you in a suitable team is as follows:-
1. The version of the software you wish to play.
2. The level (regent, monarch, etc.) you are comfortable playing in a solo game.
3. If you wish to stay with the team you belonged to in a previous game.
This game will start on November 12th. Thanks again to Gyathaar for the concept and map for this game.
In SGOTM 9 you are the Viking leader, Ragnar Lodbrok*. You have met the Indian leader, Gandhi, and you have signed a pact in blood. The Vikings agree to teach india the art of war, and make them strong through conflict. In return India will take the Vikings to the stars.
* Vanilla players play as Einar Ragnarson, but he had the same craving for space travel as his father.
You start the game as a near neighbour of India. Following the pact you are at permanent war with Gandhi, and must remain so for the rest of the game. You are allowed no peace treaties with India. And India must win by space victory. All victory conditions are switched on except diplomatic, but the winning team will be the one that gets India to Alpha Centauri, and does it fastest.
Here's the start.
Map Parameters
Playable Civ - Scandinavia / Vikings
Opponents - Seven, preselected, including India
World size - 100 wide by 100 high. (Standard)
Difficulty - Monarch
Landform - Continents
Barbarians - Roaming
The map is handbuilt, and therefore may not have a standard configuration.
Game mods:
The AI races have Deity level unit support.
Otherwise, this game uses the default rules as defined in the SGOTM Reference Thread.
The SGOTM Mediterranean resources are included in this game. If you have played SGOTM 8 then you will be ready. If not C3C and PtW players may need to download and unzip a small graphics mod pack linked in the Reference thread. Vanilla/Mac players need to install the GOTM mods, and the best way to achieve this is to use the relevant All-in-one GOTM Installer for your OS, linked in my signature.
Please visit the following links to ensure that you are adequately prepared for this game.

Notes:
A. The Classic (Play the World and vanilla 1.29) versions of Civ3 AND Conquests version 1.22 (C3C) are all supported in this game. Because of the different game play, Classic and C3C teams will play for separate awards.
B. All teams must play the sponsored variant.
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.
Spoiler information will absolutely NOT be tolerated in this thread.
Gyathaar's SGOTM 8 created some new challenges for everyone. I hope you will enjoy this one as much.
