Spawn: The North Pole (duh) in 270 AD

Just wondering... does 270 AD have any actual significance to the legend of Santa Claus?

EU:
All European Civs have random event to become vassals of 1-City Civilization of Brussels on the map, large diplomatic penalty for refusing, joining causes massive financial instability.

I gotta be honest, this seems pretty fun.

Why control New York? Santa's goal should be to conquer Antarctica!

Fixed!

Before the wheel, there should still be chariots, but with 0 movement.

RFC evolution of life.
Actually, a evolution RFC version would be absolutely badass

Units that enter squares with fallout should become Barbarian "Bleeders" from the small-scale strategy thing that came with BTS.

Here's a more fleshed-out description of the Minecraftian Empire:

Start: 2011, at Stockholm.
LH: Markus "Notch" Persson, and then Jens "Jeb" Bergenstein (latter being AI-only).
UP: The Power of the Voxel. It gives land three tiles away from your borders (and Creeper impact sites, see below) Minecraft terrain graphics (which the blocks and whatnot). You have line-of-sight within the affected tiles, units inside said tiles will occasionally flip to you, and cities in them will revolt to you without cultural pressure.
UU: Creeper. Replaces ICBM. Has a significantly reduced amount of damage, but they spread your UP as described above.
UB: Multiplayer Server. Replaces Broadcast Tower. Nullifies 1/5 of your and from population.
UHV:
1) Be the top scorer in all demographics categories (the ones on the F9 demo screen) by 2100.
2) Have 15 cities produce 200 culture and gold per turn (the latter including science, esponiage, and gold) by 2200.
3) Control all continents and have all land tiles under the influence of your UP by 2400.

laughed very hard at this one. thanks.

 

[Pavel Chichikov]

It would be similar to that Warlords mod in which you have to pillage everything and kill everybody...

I have often seriously thought this would be a fantastic feature, but I was too embarassed to suggest it here.

You just did suggest it

Great Russo-Tatar Empire.

Capital: Yaroslavl-Novgorod. Later in the game you can move it to Rome-Constantinople-Troy-Jerusalem.
UP: Power of the True Horde: Every tile on the map is within the Empire's stability area.
European nations like England, France etc. spawn in the 16th century and wage war on the Empire, falsifying history with the goal of making everyone forget about the Great Russo-Tatar Empire.

This thread is just lol-tastic.

US Great Prophet: Justin Beiber
(He does have allot of teenage girls worshipping and following his every word, and the crap he churns out every year that he calls 'music' is hardly worthy of him being a great artist.)

 

[Locutus_Morti]

Make him the leaderhead of the new Canadian civilization.
UHV:

Be a vassal in 1800
Be a vassal in 1900
Have friendly relations with your former master and have a city secede by 2000.

 

[alpav]

Be a vassal in 2000 should be added too.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Make the United States 50 different nations all vassalized by Washington.
