Team 2 final ban is Chandragupta from India.
Our first pick of round 2 is Cleaopatra (Egyptian), the old one.
Team 1 picks Pachacuti (Inca) for Round 2.
Team 1 picks Cyrus (Persia)
Team 2 picks Trajan.
Ok folks!!! The draft is complete! 
According to pick order, the teams are as follows:
Team 1
- Coppercloud - Poundmaker (Cree)
- HappyCamper - Hojo Tokimune (Japan)
- Ashurbanipal - Pachacuti (Inca)
- Maximilian - Cyrus (Persia)
Team 2
- CEO of Spearfighting - Alexander (Macedonia)
- Petrojbl - Amanitore (Nubia)
- Adi - Cleaopatra (Egyptian)
- danlmartins - Trajan (Rome)
Do any players wish to swap leaders with each other (within their team only) before we start the game?
Yes. Hereās our team:
Team 2
- CEO of Spearfighting - Alexander (Macedonia)
- Petrojbl - Trajan (Rome)
- Adi - Amanitore (Nubia)
- danlmartins - Cleaopatra (Egyptian)
I wasnāt planning on it (I was just about to create the game using the same player order as we used in the draft), but we can re-arrange the order if everyone agrees it will make a material improvement to the experience and no one has any objections
Iāve not been part of a game where itās been done before, so if you think it will help and also know a good process to determine the best order, it would be helpful if you could take the lead in organizing that part of the process
I use a spreadsheet where I color the times where people are online, then I try to make a chain of āmomentsā where the players will likely play after one another.

I can make my turns from 11:00 to 01:00 GMT
I will come back to you guys with sort. I have asked the admin for a fresh set of data as there are new players here that are not in my db-set.

And weāre off! I just created the game
As a reminder, here are the rules for re-maps:
a re-map is automatically granted if any player cannot settle 3 additional cities (Type of housing on the tile does not matter I.e. off water cities do count) within 5 tiles of the tile your starting settler spawns on (must be accessible without crossing water, mountains Including moving around mountains), or other blocking features/terrains)
And here is the rule concerning the āremap tokenā:
each team also has 1 āremap tokenā they can spend to trigger a re-map, but only before the end of turn 3, and only once during the entire best-of-3 series.
Hey everyone. Just to let you guys know, BCY is OFF!

Sorry! I just realized we never made a formal decision about BCY. Iāve never played with it on, so it wasnāt on my mind
If both teams announce on SmackTalk before the end of turn 3 that they prefer to have it on, letās do a special remap to turn on BCY. Otherwise, letās just play on with it off
I think we should let it be for this game, so no team can use it as a āfreeā remap token.

Iād like to clarify the City States rules.
Current rules:
- Each player may capture and keep one city-state. Any further city-state you attack must be razed.
- If another player has captured a city-state and that player owns the city, you may capture and keep that city.
I understand the following:
- each player has a City State token, meaning that they are always allowed to keep 1 city state which they have conquered directly
AKA if player X conquers a city state, then player Y takes that city state away, player X is allowed to conquer another city state - a conquered city state is no longer considered a city state
AKA you can keep all city states, as long as you have taken them away from another player
Is that correct?
