I was forced to wonder after SIsutil's initial start in his current game, but what if a RPC game was played with the following rules:
No use of metals
Mines cannot be built on tiles containing Metals, defined as Copper, Iron, Silver, Gold, Uranium, Aluminum (am I missing any?). Since we cannot use metals, what's the point in using Forges? (no Forges, no Metals)
No use of Mines
We are a society that prizes Hills as gifts from the Gods. As our ancestors originated there, we cannot tear down their homes. Thus, we cannot build structures tunneling into the hill. Structures can be built over it, but not under.
(i.e, NO Mines, but Windmills and Roads are okay)
Techs like Mining, BW, IW, MC, etc can be researched.
The Units enabled would be lacking, forcing Archery initially, and Gunpowder and HR becoming priority techs.
We CANNOT build the following units/unit classes:
Melee (with the exception of the Warrior unit)
Cannon
Crossbowman (this include Cho-Ko-Nu, so China is a big no-no)
Frigate
Ironclad (duh...)
Knight
Modern Armor
Stealth Bomber
That's the list for Vanilla. Since most people out here have BTS or Warlords, and I don't, I'm leaving the actual game thread, save, etc to others. Please list more units from the expansions to be eliminated!

). We couldn't tech BW so we couldn't even settle on the metals to use them. No mines is a little rough though - you'll need lots of plains hills with forests. But if you can chop, I imagine you should be able to win at least up to monarch, probably emperor. Also, can't people just circumvent the rules by planting cities on the metal resources instead?
