Thanks for remaking. At a glance setting on marble sounds good.
Did we actually decide not to allow scouts? Distilling the thread on this topic:
I ask if they are allowed
Ichabod says "yes for exploring"
Thawk agrees "yes for exploring", proposes only 2 at a time
Ichabod says "maybe only one scout"
I say "scouts are fine"
Yuris says "can build scouts first 25 turns"
rowain says no scouts
Yuris changes his mind, says no scouts
Ichabod then says "seemed like prevalent vote is no scouts". By my tally the vote was still in favor 3-2, unless Ichabod changed his mind on principle (sounded like he was miscounting votes).
To be clear I'm still in favor of scouts. Fine with a limit of 2, and with any additional restrictions like 'cant use them to fight barbs/enemies in our land' or 'no killing barb archers in camps with scouts'.
(I don't believe anyone has proposed disbanding the starting warrior, so assume we can use it as a scout).
Sorry to drag that up again, but that's pretty important to clarify now since presumably scouts will get built in the first turnset if we allow them.
Tradition v Liberty is interesting, Ichabod is definitely right that city spam with the UA may the route to faith generation. I really have no idea if the limiting factor will be amount of faith we can scrounge up for units, or getting ahead in tech to make the most of the limited faith we can spend (which might lean towards the more standard tall/Tradition)?
