New "Gentle Adventure"??

[pholkhero]

So, I'm thinking, as we wait for the next patch and epic, as we really have nothing much to play right now, perhaps a nice, easy gentle adventure ~ even an 'unsanctioned, unofficial' one??

in my head i was knocking around an idea:

"Hedgemon! A Gentle Adventure"

basically, the idea is:
America (not sure of leader)
Warlord or Noble
Terra map, with all civs on the "old world," only america in 'new;'

the object is to *cough, cough* replicate the modern world and win ONLY a cultural victory. Also, you can only switch to the "free" civics (e.g., speech, religion, markets, suffrage, emancipation), and never have a state religion.

I was leaning more towards noble, and adding in a couple religious civs so that a religion is a tougher possibility

what's anybody else's take on this??

I've been tempted to propose Sprints; Quick speed, and very short windows (two weeks? one week?) to improve the odds that it will fit between bigger games/patches. Maybe smaller than standard maps as well.

But I think I want some more miles under my belt before I try to take the lead in something like this - in particular, I need a better understanding of how much work this would make for our gracious hosts, etc.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that the RB Crew themselves come up with the game ~ something WE (or I) put together, more along the lines of the "Cultural Revolution" game that was on the board and just finished up.

I just spent the weekend alone with my two kids so maybe THEY burned me out, but regular SP games seem to be growing stale...or do i need to play a different game for the first time in 4 months??

like everyone else, I like the idea of comparing my game to other people's to learn what i can, and i'm finding prince still too high for me (but at least noble is starting to get too easy)

All right Mr. Miyagi, I'll do this clean-and-polish stuff. But when I'll learn to fight ?
