The Byzantines are a civilization with very interesting traits (Seafaring/Scientific) and an even more interesting UU: the Dromon. It replaces the galley and has 2 attack (where the Galley has 1) and lethal sea bombardment.
Goal of this SG is explore the power of the Dromon and the Seafaring trait.
VARIANT RULES:
- We must build a massive fleet of naval units (starting with Dromons).
- 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 during the Dromon era (which lasts until Magnetism, when The Great Lighthouse becomes obsolete). 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 naval units while attacking coastal cities. The naval units have to redline the forces inside a city before our ground forces are allowed to attack.
- Our main goal is Domination or Conquest.
- We will use the RBCiv rules regarding exploits.
GAME RULES:
Standard/unmodified. Standard map, 30% land, archipelago.
AI Aggression: normal
Opponents: random
Rules: Standard, all standard single player victories enabled
Barbarians: Roaming
Level: deity
It would be nice to win by conquest or domination before Frigates come in.
This is a deity variant game. I like up to 6 players with at least a demigod win, but 4 deity players

When the roster is full, I will start with 25 turns. Next up can take 15/20 turns, and the next leader 10-15, then 10 each turn after that.
24hrs to post a "got it" notice, and up to 48hrs after that to finish and post your turns.
EDIT: The roster is full.
