GAME ON HOLD
Due to lack of interest and other SG commitments. I'll probably bump this up to the top at a later stage. Feel free to comment on the rules and request to be informed if/when it gets going.
I'd like to run a variant succession game with the primary goal to spread our religion to every corner of the world. Just to see if we can, and because our religion is glorious, and everyone else are heathens! Just noticed there is a similar game already, Religionfest, but this one has some significant differences if you view the variant rules below.
Basically, we cannot go to war until we have spread our religion to every city that will accept it (unless a brother or sister of the faith requests military assistance, we can not deny them anything), and we can never attack a city with our religion (unless it is the holy city of a infidel religion, then it must be razed!)
Specifically:
(1) We must adopt our first founded religion as the one true religion, forever.
(2) We will not be the first to research another religion as that would be heretical in our religion's view! (i.e. if we are Buddhist, we cannot research Polytheism until Hinduism is founded, Monotheism until Judaism is founded, etc.)
(3) The only allowed religious civics are those with a state religion (organised religion, theocracy, pacifism) and we must adopt one as soon as possible.
(4) We must peacefully send missionaries to as many cities as possible and encourage other civs to change to our religion.
(5) The only trading/communication we do with infidels, is requesting open borders so we can spread our religion, and asking if they will adopt our religion! We can gift things to improve relations in order to open borders at a later date if we think it will help.
(6) We can not deny our brothers and sisters of the faith ANY requests, including military assistance (unless it is against another nation of our faith, then we must be neutral).
(7) Only once peaceful methods of spreading our relgion are exhausted (i.e. every city with open borders and not theocracy has our religion), can we start wars, and of course we can never go to war with a brother or sister of the faith (if they attack us, we must only defend ourselves until peace is offered).
(8) During a war we will never attack a city where our religion is already present, unless it is the holy city of a rival religion, and then if we happen to raze the city in our missionary zeal, well these things happen...
(9) If we can force our opponent to adopt our religion in exchange for peace, we must take the peace.
Game Setting: Standard Pangaea, Normal speed
Difficulty: Prince... will require players who know how to make a quick start with chopping to claim our lands.
Opponents: Random, +2 extra to fill the map quicker
Victory conditions: All enabled. Once we have spread our religion to every city in the world, it should be easy for us to go for a cultural, diplo or space ship win (if we haven't already won by dominance, depending on how many cities refuse our glorious religion!) We should not be able to win by conquest as there should be many foreign cities with our religion we can never attack.
Civilisation:
I'm thinking Spain, as Isabella is religiously intolerant anyway, and we should get Conquistadors about the time we need to start spreading our religion by force
Expansive (+2 health, cheap granaries & harbours) will help us grow to the point where we can pump out missionaries, and and Spiritual (cheap temples, no anarchy) will help us get a religion sooner and change civics. Money might be a problem, but once we get our shrine the money should come pouring in
24 hrs to post "got it", 48 hrs to play, no cheats or exploits
