Scenario Concept: Instead of Potluck, this time you get to select your civilization. If you've ever been disappointed with what the kitchen sent out, this game is for you!

SPECIAL RULE: Players MUST sign up THROUGH EMAIL to participate. Send email to T-hawk noting which civilization you choose to play. Your start will be mailed back to your email address.

Here's the menu. C=Commercial, E=Expansionist, I=Industrious, M=Militaristic, R=Religious, S=Scientific.

America (I, E): Get a fast start with this tasty appetizer. (Do not call it hors d'oeuvres.)
Aztecs (M, R): Try our spicy nachos. For those that like their appetizers hot.
Babylon (R, S): The tastiest yogurt culture you've ever had.
Carthage (I, C): A large, filling portion of meat and potatoes.
China (M, I): Enough rice to feed an army.
Egypt (R, I): Just slightly less sweet than Babylon, and more filling.
England (C, E): A basic sandwich. Not too popular. Served with milk.
Germany (M, S): Everyone loves our spicy bratwurst, especially soldiers.
Greece (C, S): A gyro platter guaranteed to make you relax and enjoy.
India (C, R): Would you like a nice vegetarian curry?
Iroquois (E, R): A loaf of oat bread that our customers often share with their equine friends.
Mongolia (E, M): Mongolian barbecued ribs: great fuel for rugged terrain.
Ottomans (I, S): Tasty falafel with spinach pie. Expensive but very good.
Persia (I, S): Cheaper than the Ottomans, and has a higher iron content.
Rome (C, M): A fed soldier is a happy soldier, so load up on this zesty ziti dish.
Russia (E, S): A good course of soup to start, followed much later by potatoes and vodka.
Zululand (E, M): A light snack for those that like to stay on the move.

The other seven civs will be your opponents: Japan, Arabia, France, Spain, Scandinavia, Korea, and Celts.

If you just can't decide, you may choose to play Potluck style. Start a new game on your own with a random civ selection to have the game pick a civ (try again if you get one of the opposing civs), and tell T-hawk that you chose potluck, and which civ you drew.

This game is on Emperor difficulty, but your start is dry (sorry, we don't serve water), so it won't be a cake-walk.

Variant Rules: None

Scoring: Unlike Potluck games, all players will be competing on the same basis. Game ranking is by fastest finish of each type. Your civ choice is the first step in planning that strategy. There are sufficient huts for Expansionist to have some value. Please do not tell others of your civ choice while the game is open! As a strategical decision, it is subject to the "no spoilers" rule.

Signups will remain open until Monday, September 8. Send email to T-hawk to participate.

Closing Day: Monday, September 15. Reports due on September 15 or 16.
