Divine Intervention-The Newbie's Gambit

Hello guys, I am a complete noob!
Anyways, I am starting my own my own Divine Intervention game. I will be Gandhi on a Marathon RandomScriptMap as a Warlord, with everything I can randomize except era and time randomized. I will take 50-100 turns every 24 hours, so you must post your interventions quickly. Here are the rules for you gods out there-

1.Do NOT give Industrial or Future Era techs or units to any Civ until 1850 AD; no giving Gunpowder units or Calvary until 1000AD.

2.There can be an unlimited number of gods. I will state, however, that each god gets 3(three) interventions tht CANNOT be changed lest I state that intervention will ruin the game for everyone. The god who makes an unintervenable channge must state so in that post. I WILL be monitoring this!

3.DO NOT INTERVENE IN ANOTHER GOD'S QUEST!!!!!! If you do you may suffer banishment from this game.

For the rest, these rules follow (FROM DI2[certain rules nullified])-
I.Thou shalt announce your intentions.
--(Be sure to "got it" so we don't run into continuim errors. We reserve the right to ignore not announced updates)

II. Thou shalt not Intervene if you were the last deity to intervene, and thou shalt only intervene once per waking
--(You may only intervene once per my update, and you must wait for another God to intervene before intervening again.)

IV. Thou shalt not use your powers for cataclysmic destruction
--(Remember, less is more. Be subtle. It is far more interesting for everyone if you make subtle, interesting changes like forming a choke with mountains than if you just tear giant swathes of ice through my cities. I reserve the right to reject saves I think are unnecessarily apocalyptic.)

V. Thou shalt reveal yourself to the mortal with grace.
--(Everyone loves a good story, and if you decide to contribute to it, be creative! Choose a name and domain [i.e., Winston, the Sea God] that you govern, even if the characters don't know it's you acting)

VI. Thou shalt not be vindictive, and thou shalt not halt progress.
--(You are not allowed to strip techs away from me. Anything I research is mine permanently. You are also not allowed to remove any named unit, for any reason.)

VII. Thou shalt not be unnecessarily nice to the puny mortal.
--(I do not need a stack of thirty Level 9 Praetorians to win my fights. You do not need to fill my BFC with flood-plain grassland goldmine hills next to rivers. The only exception to this is if you genuinely make me work my ass off to get it, and even then it not ought to be as good as the dream city outlined above.)

VIII. Thou shalt reward him for piety, and thou shalt offer him redemption for his punishments.
--(If you give me a quest and I succeed, reward me! If it was easy don't give me a big bonus, and if it was hard I am going to be miffed if I get another Great Prophet for all my hard work. Likewise, if you punish me, tell me how I can fix it!)

X. Thou shalt obey the natural order of things, and of time, and of destiny.
--(There is a storyline going on here. Do try and fit in. Do not take great lengths to completely detract from it. Be smart.)

XI. Thou shalt not abuse your architectural omniscient nature.
--(Don't add wonders that don't already exist.)

Welcome!


We won't eat you!

If anyone tells you that I am less Epic than them they are lying, especially if its MoreEpicThanYou.

Anyway, Tambien, Narrator, signing in.

I call first Intervention!

You won't eat me? Umm...thanks?

@Sam: Its a long-held forum tradition to tell newbies that we won't eat them. It makes their meat more tender when we do them relax, and gets them initiated.

THE EDIT:
Sam was walking along his gardern's main path when he saw a flash. Out of the flash came Tambien. Tambien said, "Hello Sam. I am Tambien, Narrator. I am a kind god. The others are less so. Do not let them trick you."

Sam replied, "Umm... Ok...."

Tambien said, "Anyways, I have created some landbridges. You are now connected to the other 2 continents of your world. Good luck!" With that Tambien vanished.



NOT FOR SAM'S EYES(NFSE)

If I do not found Judaism/Christianity, do I have to take the holy cities they were founded in?

Sure! That works too.

Sweet. I will add the quest to the top.

There are four DIs up now. What's up with all of them that have sprung up?

FOUR?!?!?! Heck, I saw the Rise Of The Nile and Epic's, but not the fourth one.

Wow

If I don't get 4 more gods to sign up, I'm just going to close down the thread.

I can be two gods.

Can you update Eastern Asia, too?

I sign up as Strados, god of the weather.
I'll do my changes next.

Read my last post. I edited it. I can't update until I get some stuff in the Conference straightened out. However, I am close to resolving the issue.

I need 3 more gods for this to not be closed now.I don't care if you sign up, but it will help if you do.

Samsniped , the great king of Delhi, was walking in his garden (he must be garden-addicted) when he saw a droplet falling out of a cloud. The droplet had eyes and a mouth, and floated in the air without falling. Samsniped, being a wise king, knew normal droplets don't defy the laws of gravity and don't have facial features, and deduced this droplet was a deity.
'Hello', he said.
'Tambien has been here.' the droplet said.
'Indeed, o mighty deity! You must be a wise god, as you know things no other beings can possible know.'
'No, no, there is just a terrible smell around here, I knew it had to be Tambien.'
'Oh'.

'Tambien is an evil god and did many bad things to the world, such as connecting civilizations, meaning war will soon break out. I, however, warmed up the colder areas of the world, making them suitable for settling.'
'That's great!' said Samsniped.
'Indeed. I also have a quest for you. Settle your second city 6 E and 1 N of your capital, and name it Treehugcity. Do NOT chop any of the forests, unless you have to do so to free poor livestock, such as sheep, cows and horses, and pasture them. Do not improve any tile but the grassland hill two W of the city, the cows, and possible other livestock.'
'I shall do as you wish, great deity'.
And the droplet magically disappeared in a cloud of sulphur.

QUEST:

Not for SS's eyes:

Welcome


If you have BTS [beyond the sword], try doing a Fall From Heaven: Age of Ice story.

I just finished my first game on that mod i actually won, it was fun

And if you can handle it, try playing FFH2 [Fall From Heaven 2]

It doesn't come with BTS, though
