Version: Beyond the Sword v3.19

Scenario: Once the world was dominated by great and mighty empires. Their cities boasted habitants in the millions, their ships sailed the seven seas, and their sages looked up to the skies with bright notions of soaring amongst the stars. Then came the terrible unknown cataclysm, and the shared progress of ages was cast down in fiery ruin. Thousands of years later, the survivors are about to begin the long process of rebuilding, still dwarfed in the shadows of fallen greatness, the new children of the gods.

Variant: The map begins fully developed with tile improvements, the remnants of the destroyed civilizations of the past:

Your civilization can make free use of the landscape developed by the empires of the past. However, you may not build any new tile improvements yourself. You are free to train workers, although there's precious little for them to do other than chop forests and jungle. Whether to chop forests (and lose the shield output permanently) is up to your discretion. Work boats and other sea-based tile improvements are ok.

Scoring: none

Comments: Place your cities carefully, since you can only use the tile improvements that already exist. Even immature cottages laid down by the ancients may be highly desirable, since they will eventually grow into towns.

You must research the appropriate tech in order to "connect" each resource, even if it already has its designated tile improvement in place. For example, you can still work plantation resources before researching Calendar tech, but you will not get the happiness benefit. The same phenomenon exists with strategic resources; expect to see some weirdness with regards to mines on invisible resources.

If you don't feel confident in building with these restrictions, you can always take your hwachas and go conquering.

Closing Day: Monday, July 5 (2010). Reports due by the end of July 6, your local time.
