Good! As you know from AG10 OCC's are fast paced and don't require a lot of time

The Sid game sounds tempting. After we won the SID virgin game, I would like to try on a more random map, if you take me.

grs, great to have you on board! I wait for one more player and then I will start this one.

I'd be interested in the Sid game . Completely random? Very first start?

Doc, welcome But I have to say that the start is not 100% random. I play 25 turns and then decide if it's a keeper or not. Looks like we have a great team already. I predict...a lot of discussion 
I'm going to set up the game now. There still room for one more!
@anarres, it would have been great to have you in the team. But have fun with the things that have your attention now

carlosMM, it was a split second brainwave I got here. And the rosters were full before I knew it. I am sure that there will be another AG SG though. The way I look at it I will be interested for at least a couple of months.
Aggie
Deity
I'm like to try the theme of my first SG again (AG1 - I dream of dromons (deity)).
That game ended in the modern age and was big fun. However, the intention of the game was to win it before Magnetism. So I want to try it again with that goal in mind.
VARIANT RULES:
- We must build a massive fleet of naval units (starting with curraghs).
- We must get the Great Lighthouse. If we don't succeed in building it ourselves, we have to declare war on the civ that has it and capture it ASAP. But we are NOT allowed to break ongoing deals with a civ to achieve this.
- We have to go for Map Making (Writing is our first tech to research). A Philosophy detour is allowed, but then the free tech must be Map Making (if we don't have it by then via trade and can't get it in the turn we get Philo).
- We must constantly be in a genuine war (real fighting) with at least one civ. We may make peace with one civ, but have to declare war on another civ the same turn, unless we are already at war with more than one at that point.
- We must use the bombardment-ability of our Dromon units while attacking coastal cities. The naval Dromons have to redline the forces inside a city before our ground forces are allowed to attack. The top defender must be redlined.
- We may not upgrade our Dromons.
- Our main goal is Domination or Conquest.
- The game is lost when we fail to win before the Industrial Age.
SETTINGS:
-Deity
-Standard sized archipelago map, 80% water
-We start with our own island
-No barbarians (they were a terrible pain in the previous game)
Anyone interested? I'm thinking about playing this one with a team of 6. I will start with a minimum of 5 players.

-Aggie

One question thou.. dromons upgrade to caravels, available by astronomy.. so should not the end of dromon area be astronomy instead of magnetism?

Gyathaar said:
last time, though we could not build dromons anymore, the age of dromons ended later (in actualy gameplay) as the huge stack of dromons was still usefull. You have to be carefull to protect them, but can use them effectively to bombard even on ironclads (to an extent). So I personally think the end with Magentism is just fine.

I don't see caravals as an upgrade for dromons. The dromons can bombard and the whole point of the game is to win by pillaging the infra of the AI and redlining their units in cities. So in fact that rule may be scratched...

I added the following rule in the dromons game:
- The game is lost when we fail to win before entering the Industrial Age.
I also changed the rule in which I state that we have to be at war with one civ at least. The Magnetism remark is not relevant.
The discussion is still open. I can imagine remarks regarding land size and the difficulty level. I want to give us a good starting location.
