Sign me up, PTW preferably. The variant sounds interesting.

Sign me up for the variant. Can play both vanilla and PTW.
@Offa, if I were you I'd give it a go anyways -if you have time and will, of course 
We managed to play GOTM32 in SG form with a few people not long after its release as a GOTM, and being spoilered didn't prevent us from enjoying it a lot -we actually succeeded in keeping the spoiler info out of the team discussion.
And I suspect that MB might have changed a few little things here and there...

I respect your decision Offa.
I would however like to point out that the game announcement says this game is "similar" to the original. If there is anyone else worried about being spoilered, then I will do as much as I can to allay those fears without ruining the surprises that may or may not be in store.
Has anyone compared the start I posted to the original yet?

Yep...mad-bax said:
I spotted 1 major & 1 minor difference.

I have now 
I make it three differences, one obvious major one, one minor, and a river's disappeared which I would also classify as major. I'm a trader who won't be allowed to negotiate, so I can use all the commerce I can get.
I loaded the original up to get a better look at it. It was before my time on CFC, so I didn't realise that this one had modded names for all the terrain and resources. Nice! I hope they haven't disappeared in the SGOTM file.
[EDIT] OH! And I think some hills may have disappeared under the north west fog line.

I've played 5 GOTM's but no SGOTM.
But please no sponsored version (I feel it's too hard
).
All versions acceptable.

I counted the river as major & the Wines as minor, forgetting for the moment about the food bonusAlanH said:I have now
This was my first ever GOTM and I'm really looking forward to having another bash at it.

I'm not sure about that, could be that due to reworking we can only see the underlying tile at the edge of a forest. But we'll soon know for sure

Count me in as part of team Ankka (again!) can play either ![[ptw]](/images/smilies/ptw.gif "PTW Icon [ptw]")
or ![[civ3]](/images/smilies/civ3.gif "Civ3 Icon [civ3]")
, not too bothered which, but would prefer if pushed to make a decision
GOTM18 was the first GOTM I played so no spoilers here. The variant seems a bit beyond me though

True, oh wise one. The shapes of other forests have certainly changed. The wines are also an early commerce bonus. Wines on a wet hill give 2 gpt in despot without needing a Roman road.TedJackson said:I'm not sure about that, could be that due to reworking we can only see the underlying tile at the edge of a forest.

Top up might be more colloquial

Ted, it is Wine we're talking about here! Wine of some standing can bear old-fashioned language. (I actually had to look 'colloquial' up in my dictionary, the word isn't that colloquial for me.

Oh oh, I can hear a mod coming... maybe I should stop the
On topic: this game was my first GOTM game as well. A small miracle that I won it! Or did I? I will have to go back and check.
