Good afternoon! Welcome to the first ever running of the RB Civ Handicap Stakes. The player (jockey) may choose his mount from the list of Imperial horses (leaders) below. This is a Handicap Stakes so the weaker horses receive a bonus to ensure a competitive race in this first past the post contest. Aside from Victoria, each civ will receive a deduction to its actual finishing turn for scoring purposes. Thus Genghis winning on T300 and receiving a 33 turn deduction will produce a T267 date for scoring. The list of turn discounts is found below.
Pre-race favourite and top weight Tricky Vicky will surely be a leading contender if the handicapper hasn't caught up with her. Jumpin' Joao is supremely fast out of the stalls but doubts exist about his stamina. Slippery Suleiman is considered the thinking man's choice, but there will surely be some takers for Avid Augustus at those odds. Catty Cathy will need to get creative if she's going to stand a chance in this company, but Justinian the Jester might not find conditions to his liking. Judge Julius isn't likely to have many backers even at these odds, and the same can be said for Chic Charlemagne. Completing the field are ranking outsiders Cygnet Cyrus and Galloping Genghis. Will any jockey be bold enough to take either of these as his steed?
VARIANT RULES:
1. City razing is prohibited; you must keep all culturally flipped cities.
2. Use of the whip is banned. Indeed, the only civics permitted in this game are as follows (all available from the start of the game):
[attachment=76]
(Since switching civics is prohibited, keep in mind that 'the old ways are best'.)
[attachment=77]
Scoring: Fastest cultural victory, after the turn discount.
Honourable mentions: Number of AI cities flipped by culture. All cities must be kept, no razing (also for barb cities).
[attachment=78]
(Your city is already settled. It will have a different name depending on your civilization choice, naturally.)
Closing Date: Monday, October 15, 2012. Reports due by the end of Tuesday, your local time.
