RPC Supergenius
Welcome back folks, or maybe I should be welcomed back. After disappointment with Civ 5 I have returned to Civ IV with more RPC tales. Perhaps I will venture back into Civ 5 onced it's aptched and fixed up, but for now there are more tales to tell and leaders to embararess.
While I have done 4 RPCs based on RPCs (the Great Presidents of Washington, Lincoln, FDR and *cough cough* Obama
) I am American dammit and glad to abuse yet another. Besides, I need to play this to get the nasty taste of that dull Civ 5 American RPC out of my system.
So I bring you Thomas Jefferson. Author of the Declaration of Independence, third US President, responsible for excessive American growth, depressant, agnostic, slave owner, and dare I say, economically incompetant.
Now TJ here wants what is best for his country and believes all men are free and equal (don't know what he thinks of women though, but that's another tale) regardless of his own personal practices. Yes, TJ was a hypocrit. In addition, America stands for MANIFEST DESTINY, stretching our reach from shore to shore of this fine continent and while some heathens may stand in our way, we shall bring them American civilization but overrunning their lands and granting them full citizanship!
So game settings
Emperor difficulty at EPIC speed
Standard sized continent map
Unrestricted leaders
Jefferson is obviously American but will play the traits of Louis XIV since he loved French Culture. It also fits with his Creative personality and writtings and the American Industrious spirit.
NOW, onto the RULES!!!
1) MAnifest Destiny: Jefferson must control his entire continent, not vassals allowed here.
2) Overseas he cannot take any foreign city but can certainly dabble in foreign affairs (he was NO Washington mind you!). Declaring war to preserve America's best interests are allowable.
3) America is built on Agriculture and production, thus cottages are disallowed. Farms, mines, watermills, windmills, lumbermills, and workshops are all that are allowed.
4) Jefferson believes in Seperation of church and state, thus we cannot adopt a state religion and must stay in Paganism or Free Religion. Priest specialists are allowed though, we are not forbidding religion to our people.
5) Jefferson is a hypocrit, believeing in all men are equal yet practiced slavery. Thus Jefferson MUST stay in the slavery Civic all game. The exception is if he can get the UN to adopt emancipation (he can propse it) thus taking teh responsibility off of him.
6) Jefferson is a believer in all forms of liberty, thus me MUST beeline the Liberalism path and THEN beeline Democracy. In addition, State Property is a forbidden civic.
There you have it,
Our fearless leader
And the start
Ah the savage American Frontier! NO FOOD, NO RESOURCES, NO OCEAN!
Westward young Jefferson and discover your destiny, your MANIFEST DESTINY!

God that start is awful... looks like every tile in the BFC is forested except 1NW and maybe 2S1W => could be food, let's hope for more than "American bison" i.e. cows
