The fourth Monthly Challenge over two difficulties (Prince and Emperor).
There is only a domination victory where you have to simply capture the capital of Persia. You start from scratch in the ancient era as Scythia.

This scenario is very much inline with Valentine's Day, although things did not turn out well with the couple featured in the scenario. However, the true events that transpired is debatable.

Overall, not as fun as the Seven Seas challenge but still better than the Age of Abundance Challenge. I would say this is on par with the Robot Revolution Scenario. Scythia's victory skew is very domination oriented and you can very easily and quickly rush the AI opponent. Only part I found unrealistic about this scenario is that you can still be in 3700 BC but be in the industrial era already. I felt that the tech tree should be locked and limited to the ancient era and classical era so it would be more realistic and reflective of history.
