So where is this game at?
Also, if this game is still alive, I propose two house rules:
1) No AP-vote, I think most agree that it can be exploited and it's gamey.
2)Banning nukes. Nukes render a lot of the options that modern warfare offers useless and thus decrease tactical decisions. Also seeing your super cities destroyed isn't fun to anyone, conventional warfare is imo more fun and rewarding for the both sides. Also better to ban them now rather than during the industrialization when people have started to plan for an early Manhattan project.
Also, although my civ is spiritual, maybe we should limit the use of civic/reli switches. Knoedel might have suggested this earlier, but I don't remember if any decision regarding it was made.
