Accelerated start makes absolutely no sense when I try and start with that option on. I would much prefer it to be off.
If No Tech Trading is on, then by default no one can Tech Broker. My preference towards these options would be
#1 Both Tech Trading and Brokering on.
#2 Tech Trading on, Tech Brokering Off
#3 No Tech Trading
I really don't understand what you're trying to say by it making no sense.
The reason I would disallow tech trading (and by default brokering) is to reduce the power of alliances. You and I have seen too many games where the largest alliance simply outpaces everyone else in tech and eventually one of the members wins. No tech trading means that civs (and alliances) pulling ahead can still be ganged up on and taken down.
Count me in.
I'm rather suspicious of the Always War option ON. It makes trade routes and trade buildings less valuable, which probably makes some Unique buildings and Traits relatively less valuable. And what kind of effect this option has for the Vassal and the Colonies system? Religions could become less valuable and this has also some balance effects.
I had 4 different human vassals in the CivIVor Warlords game, so I see no reason why there wouldn;t be any colonies or vassals.
Vassels won't work without AI IIR, and I imagine colonies will disabled for similar reasons.
Advanced Start is too confusing.
Which means we haven't had enough people back-stabbing!
