Somethink I forgot.
Thrawn, do you have already a lurker ?
If not, I could help.
Sorry MagicSciense, I think, no lurker has first right of refusal.
After that, Dreylin, Gavagai ?
I go by expected experience.

* No Spies

It's been pointed out to me that this is not quite specific enough. This applies to Great Spies in the sense that they are not to be used as Scouts either. Of course, if you generate one you can do the other normal things a Great Person can do, but the intention here is to disallow riskless/invisible scouting. I hope that helps clarify things if anyone needed it. I'll tweak the wording of the OP to make this more explicit.

I vote for "no hard limits in war or peace or per deal, just don't be a dick". With great power comes great responsibility.

It seems there is a consensus for this as the rule, so I would consider this locked in.

Does it imply no infiltration mission? Because you obviously need to move it outside your borders to do that.

Happy with whatever you decide on city trading.

Do you have some written summary of guidelines/rules for new people?

What does no spies mean exactly - the unit spy cannot be produced and if you get a great spy you can only settle him?

Yes. Spies or Great Spies trivialize certain things here. I don't want to go into too much more detail.

Yes, but also for the Great Spy you could use/save it for a Golden Age or build Scotland Yard.

Are we allowed to pillage tiles in Barbarian territory?

And I assume that we will play with No Unit Gifting, No Tech Trading, and No Vassal States, as usual?

i assume barb territory is considered neutral territory for the sake of the game?

We’ll count Barb territory as neutral just to be safe.


Affirmative on the other questions.

Are we waiting for anything else before we get started?

[Gavagai]

We are waiting for me, sorry. I choose India.
