GreyFox
Make it so ...
Its been awhile since I last hosted an SG. Time to get the Fox series running again.
Background
One look at my avatar people should know that I am a trekkie (unless you are Kikinit who thinks the icon is a "skull-less brain singing karaoke"
). This SG is a tribute to all trekkies and star trek fans.
Since a star-trek mod is not going to happen, I'll have to make do with the Civ4 mechanics. Been pondering a while, and I think the single most important principle in star trek is the Prime Directive -- Non-Interference. This will be the underlying prinicple of this variant as well.
By the Prime Directive, that means we would not interfere with other "races" not within the United Federation of Planets (or StarFleet, if you will). Therefore, we need a mechanism to implement the Federation.
Within Civ4 mechanics, United Federation of Planets is implemented by religion. Any Civ that share our state religion is considered a member of the Federation. The Federation is considered to be founded once we found a religion, and convert to that state religion.
Variant
With the above background in mind, here are the variant:
The Game
The Players
Looking for 5 or 6 players. No game skill requirement, newbie (both SG or the game) are equally welcomed.
One requirement I do have is on reporting style. Players must report their turnset using a narrative approach as a star trek character
Thus, its expected for players to be a bit of a trekkie ...
Normal SG etiquette applies. 24 hrs got-it, 48 hrs to play and post.

Variant
With the above background in mind, here are the variant:
- We can only trade with Civ that share the same state religion
- We cannot declare war on Civ with same state religion
- We must help defend Civ with the same state religion
The Game
- Map Type: To be decided. I am thinking Archipelago.
- Civ Leader: To be decided. I am thinking one with higher probability of founding a religion.
- Difficulty: Monarch.
- Victory Condition: All enabled, we preferably win by Space.
- Others: Default.
