This game will be entirely defined by what is effectively its one variant rule:
Research must be set to Future Tech in 4000BC and then never changed.
To stick with that theme, we're playing with No Tech Trading, and Great People may *not* be used to discover tech. The order we get them in is the order we get them in.
This will make a lot more change to the game than people will realise at first sight. If you want to follow along with it, I recommend starting up any old game, and seeing the research path that this picks for yourselves. It has to be seen to be believed!
Civ: Washington, so we get Agriculture and Fishing, and for the traits.
Map: Custom Continents, random number.
Difficulty: Prince, and maybe a stretch at that!
Our start position: (hopefully. This is the first one rolled, and may turn out unacceptably)
Roster:
Garath
Jabah
Atlas
There is room for up to two more people willing to join in this crazy variant. Monarch wins are strongly encouraged, and having looked at the tech tree to see what you're letting yourself in for is mandatory.
Turns to follow. I'll be taking enough to see whether there's Copper around, which should be about 30 or so. We'll aim for an approximation to 30/20/15/10/10...
