Sponsor: Ruff_Hi
Opening Date: Monday, November 2
Duration: Four Weeks
Map: Fractual
Difficulty: Monarch
Game Speed: Normal
Variant: Mod Required! Everyone starts with a Scout.

You have three options for this game. You can play as one of the following leaders:

Isabella (Organized, Protective)
Gandhi (Philosophical, Industrious)
Saladin (Creative, Charismatic)

You will notice that these combinations of traits represent the three combinations that Firaxis Games decided was 'forbidden'. I don't expect many people to select the 3rd option as I cannot see why that combination would be forbidden, but I, for one, will be playing as Isabella.

The map, opponents, starting position, etc, etc is identical for each of the leaders mentioned above. Your tasks is three-fold:

1) Discover why Firaxis decided that the combination of traits you select to play is forbidden
2) Have fun playing the game
3) Write up a game report to share with others

[Note: This is Isabella's start - Gandhi's and Saladin's is identical]

Mod Required! The attached mod (RBAdv41.zip) should be installed under your 'C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods' folder as illustrated in the picture below.

Closing Date: Monday, November 30. Reports due by the end of Tuesday, December 1, your local time.
