Never assume those you recruit know as much as you do. In a nutshell, a Multi-Team Demo Game (MTDG) is <ul> A game played with C3C or Conquests, patched to 1.22.
Played as a PBEM game.
With a common understanding of what is allowed and what is not allowed.
With no AI.
With humans only.
With some game parameters decided by the teams, some by the players as a group.
Grouped into different teams (some players come by recruitment of a team, others by luck of the draw).
Where each team has their own internal government (or lack of, if so desired).
And each team has their own separate forum for in-team discussions, that is private for that team (no snooping).
Where each team can be as truthful to the other teams as they see fit.
Where each team is to trying to out-play, out-wit and out-last all the others.
