Why do you care?
I've forgotten where variants are supposed to go, so if it is moved, just tell me that it's been done by PM. I won't mind.

I'm working on a series of challenges which my dad and I dream up in our spare time. This one is my dad's favorite.
_____________________________________________________________

Play on an Archipelago map, 80% water.

Minimum map size: Standard.

Play your usual difficulty level.

You CANNOT play as an Expansionist, Commerical or Seafaring Civ.

Your Science Rate must be AT LEAST 5.5.0, unless you are about to make a breakthrough, in which case you can go lower to make some extra money.

You CANNOT declare or otherwise instigate war.

You must give the AI whatever it demands (unless it demands Map Making or Literature) in the interest of avoiding war.

The objective is to be the most advanced nation in the world for forty turns. After that happens, you can warmonger as much as you like

For extra challenge:

Increase Barbarian activity
Increase AI aggressiveness.
Leave Luxury slider at 0.

I know this goes against what some of you do, and some may think it's easy...but my dad has a difficult time staying alive to the mid-ancient times. And he's pretty good--plays and wins on Continents on Demigod at least half the time.
 
I play Deity and SID. I'll never make it with those rules, I guess. On these high levels human warfare tactics give me the edge. And trading is limited since you need to be careful to avoid demands for tech and getting nothing in return. I might try it on Emperor or Demi
