Hello folks, this is probably a bit late in starting, but hey it isn't Easter yet! Starting Friday the 23rd of March there will be available here in this thread the download for an Easter contest!

As stated the contest will begin Friday the 23rd of March and it will run through the month of April. Contest zipfile will be available for download Friday before noon! All entries must be received by me before midnight -05:00 GMT on April 30th, 2007(there is a text file giving the email address for entries included in the download)!

Please no discussion in the public forum disclosing the secrets of the scenario! Everyone must figure it out on their own! If you cannot solve the start of the game, you don't deserve a shot at winning the contest!

A modified Trading Partners is the base for this contest!

There are no freetraders in the game, no pirates, no disasters!
You are the trader in this game! And the goal is to help the AI players achieve the highest populations possible, while achieving 1000 inhabitants(pioneers, settlers, citizens, merchants, aristocrats), 500 of which must be Aristocrats. The final scores will be tabulated by adding all three AI's population numbers together.
As an incentive to push the AI's to higher levels, you will be rewarded for civilization levels, the AI's achieve.

Scores will be tabulated using the following scale
Each -
Aristocrat = 5 points
Merchant = 4 points
Citizen = 3 points
Settler = 2 points
Pioneer = 1 point
BTW - A prize will be given! The prize will be named once I have it in hand!
As promised the announcement of the prize to be given!
The contest winner will receive 1503 A.D. - The New World

The following is a screenshot of the start of the game!
