Scenario concept: ECC? Enslaved City Challenge. To found a Mayan city requires merging of an enslaved unit.

Rules Moditifation: The "max eruption period" for volcanos is set to 100,000 years. Each volcano on the map will erupt at least once within the indicated eruption period (shown in years). The default setting is 5000 years.

Variant rules: You may only found a city (other than the capitol) if you merge an enslaved worker into it the same turn. Regular captured workers don't count- just workers that have been "enslaved" by a victorious javelin thrower. You may not capture cities, or accept them as part of a peace agreement. Razing is permitted.

Using Shift-N to rename enslaved workers when you get them is a great way to tell them apart from workers acquired by other means.

Scoring: Ranked by fastest finish in each victory type.

To ensure uniformity and a level playing field for comparisons, please ensure that you do have Conquests version 1.15 installed before playing. Patch 1.15 can be downloaded here.

Closing day: Monday, February 23, 2004. Reports due February 23 or 24.
