Welcome to the nineteenth installment in the Community Deity Game series!
CDG 19 - Suleiman has gotta catch 'em all!
We aim to post an interesting challenge twice each month. We try for a variety of starts and difficulties. There is a suggested Victory Condition and a list of Achievements for each map, so each game has a theme to it.
Please see the CDG Series Discussion Thread to express yourself if you have remarks and ideas. Some maps use mods. Please note that maps you wish to share must have the DLC map packs disabled, so those who do not have them can enjoy the challenge. To do this, you go into the DLC option from the Main Menu and untick the options for ‘Explorers Map Pack’, ‘Scrambled Nations’, and ‘Scrambled Continents’. You will need to do this every time you start a new game that you might want to share.
When posting about your victory, please begin the post with the turn number, victory condition, and achievement points in bold text, e.g. “T247 DiploVC, 10 points”. This is so the kind volunteer who updates the finishers spreadsheet can see it more easily.
Also please provide a screenshot of your victory turn, and maybe more related to the achievements and keys point in the game — because it’s fun to read for all of us! Restart and reload as you like, but in your write-up (which does not have to be long) please describe the challenges you faced.
We welcome all comments and questions, but please use the SPOILER tag if you attach a picture, make a comment about which civs are in the game, about natural wonders, locations of ancient ruins, terrain features, luxes, resources, etc. In short, if it’s information you can only know by playing the game, don’t spoil it for others by divulging this information in the open. Thank you for your co-operation, and have fun!
Suggested Victory Condition: Domination
Quick combat and movement are off (which is the default, turn them on if you like).
Game Version - 1.0.3.279
Downloadable Content includes: Wonders of the Ancient World DLC. Gods and Kings expansion, Brave New World Expansion. The map packs are intentionally excluded.
Before you download the map, please take a moment to speculate here in this thread on your initials thoughts plans for the game. Will you settle in place? What are your plans for getting the most from the UA and the UU?

Spoiler UA and UU :
In this game, you will be playing as Suleiman of the Ottomans. You possess Barbary Corsairs: All melee naval units have the Prize Ships promotion, allowing them to capture defeated ships. You also pay only one-third the usual cost for naval unit maintenance.
You can train the Janissary, which replaces the Musketman but gets an attack bonus and and heals when it kills an enemy. It retains the special ability when upgraded.
You can also train the Sipahi, which replaces the Lancer, but has an extra move, extra sight, and free pillage. It retains the free pillage when upgraded, but not the extra move and sight.

Spoiler map type and settings :
Standard size, standard speed, standard number of civs and CS. Map type is Terra Incognita with settings so it could be like Continents or Pangea (but will not be like Terra).
Spoiler hints about which AIs you might encounter :
Opponents are hand selected and fit the map theme. So the set is predictable enough.
Spoiler difficulty :
Medium.
Spoiler starting location :
Suggested Victory Condition: Domination
Spoiler achievements :
- 1st and 2nd naval UA captured, 1 point each. Captures need not survive (even to the next turn) for scoring for the achievement point. Only the first UU captured counts towards achievement points. 1 point each, for 1 or 2 points.
- 3rd and 4th naval UA captured, 2 points each. With above, up to 6 points total.
- 5th, 6th, and 7th naval UA captured, 3 points each. With above, up to 15 total. Getting 12 points would be amazing. No one can catch 'em all!
- Win by Domination VC: 1 point, plus 1 point per era before Information Age. (So, 2 points if you win in the Atomic Age, 3 points in Modern, etc.)
