Sorry for the delay in getting back to those who were asking about this. It took a while to decipher the ancient Holy texts that explained how Eldine would measure each team's success. Anyway..
As I think everyone understands, the Laurels will go to the three teams who satisfy all Eldine's special conditions and get the earliest victory dates. If no team meets all conditions, then noone gets any Laurels, and Eldine will leave the world in disgust and go find a universe that has a more intelligent species of life.
The ordering of teams when the results are published will be firstly by how many conditions a team satisfied, and secondarily by the date of your UN or cultural victory. That implies that the wooden spoon will got to the team that gains a diplomatic or cultural victory while failing to meet the most of Eldine's conditions. If there's a tie on this, then victory date will be the tiebreaker (slowest date gets the wooden spoon).
The results list will indicate what conditions (if any) a team missed, and I, Erkon and Eldine reserve the right to publically mock, insult and generally laugh at those teams that failed some of the conditions.
Any team that didn't win a cultural or diplomatic victory goes in separate list of defeated teams and will suffer eternal shame. I, Erkon, and Eldine will probably not even consider it worth the effort to mock you, such will be your disgrace.
I trust that every team will sincerely try to meet all conditions, but just in case any team finds it's not going to be possible to do so and cares about maximizing its ranking, here's how I'll measure how many conditions a team has missed in your final save file:
- Each AI that is alive but not running a state religion counts as one missed condition. (For example, two AIs running free religion means you have 2 missed conditions).
- Each AI above the 2nd one that is alive and has a 'you declared war on us' negative modifier towards the team counts as TWO missed conditions. This should give a measure of how repulsive Eldine finds war to be.
- Each AI that is dead counts as THREE missed conditions (but you won't be penalized further for declarations of war against dead AIs).
- Failing to have 4 warriors and 4 great people on the fur counts as one missed condition.
- Not running a state religion counts as a missed condition
- Not having your state religion in all your cities counts as a missed condition
- Not having fur, dye, ivory and silk available to all your cities counts as a missed condition.
