The "so near, yet so far.." scenario (quick game)

[farting bob]

So near, yet so far.. v1.0

Ive designed a quick little game for you to have a go at. Ive had a go myself and its quite fun indeed.

The Aim: Achieve conquest victory

The rule changes:

• You cannot build settlers. You start with 1 settler who cannot move from his start tile.
• Depotism has the unit support 10.15.20 now (to compensate for only having 1 city). all other governments however are as usual.
• The Marsh is impassable by all units except the pigeon
• the pigeon - An air unit available from the beginning. It can be used purely to fly around and start diplomatic relations with the enemy, since in my first test i was not known by the other civ until i was 4 tiles away from there city. This way we both know each other before going to war and can play the game normally. A non-combat unit.
• All resources (other than fish and whales) are available on grassland.
• There is 1 of eevry strategic resource on each side, but they are not in the same places.

Tips:

• Colonies are your friend, since you wont be ablke to build cities and you might wont a few resources unless you plan to win with archers and warriors.
• Unless you can make loads of money, it may be advisable to stay in despot for the military support.
• Pigeon!
• You cant build any ships ever, so picking a seafaring civ is a bit of a waste.

Note: This is my first scenario, so may have some bugs. constructive critisism is welcome!
