Since we’ve had someone resign already, it’s probably time to discuss what house rules we’re playing by. I’d like to follow the PYDT club rules, especially since this is base Civ without the Rise & Fall mechanics. With one AI in the game, whoever spawns closest to the AI can get a big bonus early on.
The most important part of the club rules, to me, is the part about how you can only capture (and keep) the AI’s capital and at most one city-state. Other bot cities must be razed, and you have to settle that area anew. (Human players’ cities are of course always fair game.)
Thoughts? Objections?
