Yes, congrats to all. We were dealt a nice hand in this game, but we also played it very well. I don't think I have had a game where we were in this much control of the game as this one.

Meli, I would like to try a 5CC AW game. I am not familiar with 5CC, but now have a number of AW games under my belt as it were.
Because I love armies so much, I am going to see if I can convince you of adding the following twist:
You are allowed to capture cities as long as you abandon them before you end of the turn (you can never ever build a city). Why? Because if you capture 3 cities in the same turn, you can build a second army.
Betazed, I think the power of C3C armies more than make up for the fact that you can't rush wonders. Note that my PTW experience in AW is a bit limited, so maybe I am wrong on this, but the abilty for armies to quickly heal, that allow armies to heal in enemy territory, and the free pillage makes them very strong. Build a few armies and send them out pillaging and you can make a big dent in the AI ability to produce.
On the otherhand, there is no doubt a 5CC will be more challenging in C3C as you can't field 8 armies like a "normal" C3C AW. I would still want to play in C3C however
