Author's quote: "The human gets a settler, the AI gets as many as it can build - try to win. I forgot to include a readme file with the scenario, but it is just like other scenarios, unzip into the scenarios directory. (With Winzip for best results).
The map, I drew out, so that the 7 enemy civs are around your island, in the central lake. Be warned, SLIC is used to prevent you building settlers, and the AI will really hate you."

Another author quote: "This scenario allows OCC as a viable gameplay option in CtP2.
Since science victories are impossible with one city, and diplomatic victories simply outrageously difficult, some changes have been made so that victory can be acheived by bloodlust. After a city is "captured", it is destroyed automatically.

This scenario is very hard. The AI might not be up to much, but it outnumbers you, and will get well ahead in the tech race.
You will need all your skill to survive and win."
