Here's the concept.

We all hate Isabella.

Well, alot do. Alot. If only...she didn't look...so h-... Nevermind that. Anyway, to better understand her and her motives, I'm suggesting we walk five thousand years in her shoes.

Yes wearing...her pretty leather sandals the whole way. To what end? That is obvious of course. Isabella is a patron of the arts (She's a work of art...) and so, we're winning cultural.

But yet, it's not that simple...

We'll be having seven rivals, all of which will be given a religion from Turn Two. And when the first rival's religion that gets to us, we'll have to adopt it, as she would not go a day longer without religion! And to repay that Civ's kindness, we'll be their bestest pal forever...One last thing...the next Civ that comes to speak to us that has a different religion becomes our worst enemy.

Get on your Izzy suits guys (and gals)...this might just be a blast!

I'm looking for five perhaps on this roster, and discussion is a must.

Game settings are up for debate, but I like Emperor and Monarch for levels...

Emperor would be more of a challenge, but I don't mind monarch.

Sounds like a really fun variant, but Monarch/Emperor is a little outside my range of difficulty. I will definitely be lurking.........

Well that makes four then. As for level, I'm happy at both Emperor and Monarch, and the reason I'm leaning towad Emperor is simply the added difficulty level so military "solutions" don't come too easily

What are your map and time speed preferances? If we do Epic there will simply be longer turnsets. As for Map...some kind of contients?

Archipelago with snaky continents and a low water level can make for some fun combinations.

Otherwise continents of any type.

My timer seems to run best at Epic. Normal speed always puts me off a beat. But I can adapt.

I vote epic speed if emperor, normal if monarch (and this is for vra to decide). The other settings could be random to make the game less predictable.

Giving away all of the religions? A cultural victory will be tough on emporer. And probably tough on monarch, as well; I just can't imagine. Should be interesting either way! Out of curiosity, how do you plan to pass out the religions? Are you doing an industrial start or just WB'ing the save?

WBing the save. Speaking of which, I'd really rather not be the one to do it, because the map would sorta get burned into my retinas.

Any non-player wanting to volunteer to hand out the religions and knows how would be gratefully appreciated.

And...it won't be that bad.

We'll be going to war for sure, and it'll be a matter of targeting multi-religious cities for capture I should expect.

I'd need to look up in WB on how to hand out religions but I can do it for you guys (assuming this starts in the next few days - I leave town after that).

Its pretty easy to do. You just go into "edit city" and click what religion you want the city to have. You will have to mouse-over to see which button makes it the holy city. You won't have any trouble with it.

vra - do you want me to just go ahead and roll up a start for you guys? Or are you going to roll it up and pass it to me to WB?

I'll roll a start, and I'll do it now so I can show it to the team and found the city before I hand over the save.
