I don't understand... You dont take defensive battles during your turn. Number of defenders only applies to YOUR turn, when you settle or conquer a city. You can move your units whenever and wherever you like, just be sure you have enough in your capitol when you settle (units can even partially move to capitol in the turn you settle, take screenshot and you can freely move units out of the city if they still have enough movement points).

No, the rule about number of military units only counts when a city is settled/captured. It does not count at other times.
I would recommend that this be clarified in the game description
Thanks enKage and Neil 
@Pigswill and Great Wall:
It's a Wonder, it's a building. You are allowed to try to build it.
@Blubmuz and "too much ties" and "wrong leader"
To me, getting you out of your comfort zone is the main point of these games. I am quite sure I know how you'd have played that map if it wasn't for the scenario rules. And it wouldn't be much of a challenge.
@enKage and the "building list"
Mostly correct, but:
-Projects are buildings as well. Everything that shows up in the building list in the city screen is a building. Good catch on the Drydock and Bomb Shelter. So far down the tech tree I didn't include them. They are NOT civilian buildings, you are correct. If a building has no use, but is still in the list (coal plant) it still counts. Airport counts as civilian. All "great person buildings" are civilian buildings, even military academy.
@Cactus Pete and "DQ because the AI attacks"
As the others explained, the limitation applies only when you get the new city, not all the time you own it.

I will add all this to a second post when the Maint thread is posted

A pandandic point (quite possible what is being riddled about)... Taking the rules verbatim, it is illigal to found your first city.
"Therefore you may only found a city (or keep one you got from another nation) if: Rome has at least twice the number of civilians as your city count (including the new one)."
Obviously, Rome will not have 2 population from the start, so founding it is forbidden.
Equally obvious is what is meant, and I think it is a quite clever idea. Unfortuntaly, I dont have time to play it, but lurking should be fun!

Ekhm, khm...
Still not answered....
And also I see it strange Airport is civilian, while Castle not, but OK, we can live with it.
Updated list of civilian and not civilian buildings

I would have thought population would be the number shown next to the City Name not sure why you would count specialists??

Because those settled actually live in a city :]
In opposite to settled, free specialists are more apparent, so I am not sure about them

Yes, but you have 4 warriors so you can capture another city at pop2 or greater, as long as you can move 2 warriors into it that same turn. So to start the game the 4 warriors have to find an enemy city, wait till it's pop2, capture it with 1 or 2 warriors, and defend it with the remaining 2 warriors. No probs...
BSP knows what he's doing, folks...

Since we can break the population rule and settle our capital, does that also mean we can break the defender rule and send our warriors off exploring on T0?

I believe no project shows on the city building list. If you build the Internet it exists, but not in any specific city. Same with Manhattan Project or Apollo Program. Once completed they just exist, for as long as your civilization survives.
I may be wrong but has anyone actually seen a completed project in the building list of any city?

Provided this competition will ever start, see the number of supscriptions ATM.
Again, i'm afraid that those over complicated scenarios keep away people to participate.
It's not a matter of "comfort zone" it's a matter of headaches. A good scenario is a normal game with one or two fixed VCs and some easy-to-understand (and to verify) variants. Just take a look to the early SGs. The only one not working was the Viking one.
Obviously there should be some turns to build axes, archers or any other units, unless you want us to upgrade warriors. Please specify.

Or you choose not to settle/capture cities in the next few turns after researching BW...
@BLubmuz
I think these rules are very easy. All you have to do is to construct buildings and units before you can settle more cities. That's it. And the extra VC is "have 7 Wonders".
And btw: The news entry on main page isn't out yet. I don't know why.

Wait, what? Maybe I just skimmed it, but I thought it read : Rome = capital, so yea, I'd say it needs a rewrite.
I was figuring we had to farm all the grassland in the captial to get a large enough pop. (Size 20 capital = you my have a 10th city). That would have been a serious/welcome restriction on empire size.

As far as I know, I was wrong with that. Rome = Caput Mundi = Kaput Sundial.
And that is exactly correct. I thought my reply:
made it clear, but I guess I was wrong about that.
You need to build the buildings in your capital and grow your capitals population and you need to have the units in your capital if you want to found new cities.
"Caput Mundi" is a nickname, or you may call it a title.
