I agree with Spyder on first and last. Plumbing, I think - is an excellent idea when worried about a game full of builders.. but with excellent expanders such as yourself and I, Ljube; having a few builders around uhindered and without new rule confusion gives quite the interesting balance of strategies.

For 60 cost diplomats.. I'd say tech stealing is absolutely allowed. Remember that we're trying out a tech trade system where each party must have discovered by themselves their own offer; which in itself will slow reckless and slutty overall tech advancement
Now, I don't see the reason why I wouldn't stop my research, mass produce diplos which are still a good bargain and steal whatever tech the others have? To stop me, the others would need to sink my ships.

For Wonders - in all honesty, I'm myself comfortable with status quo. Colossus, Great Library, Lighthouse, Hanging Gardens, Marco Polo's - they're all damn powerful early wonders in our settings, and no one player is that likely to get two of them. Spread the great projects, spread the strategies - right?
If the level is emperor, then hanging gardens are not in the same league, as is not the lighthouse because the start locations are too apart and triremes still move 3.
There is also a problem of the colossus. Since we only have 8 foreign trade routes, the civ that builds the colossus has a huge advantage in terms of domestic trade.

Not Enough City Names
After someone has built more cities than they have for defualt names it creats an error and the game crashes. Gonna need a good bit more names than those we have now.
Suggestion for Zylka: Make the names "A" "B" "C" etc after those you've already provided us and we can create our own names once we get to those."All things are good except for the bad parts"

And what about the Euro-classic - Zylka, Dylan?
If we start this B game then the Euro-classic will never continue. I know Makeo and myself are keen on the Euro but it would also be nice to get Trev in a new game - let's see who posts for a B game.
So far we have:
Makeo

The only rule I don't like is the time-wasting reloading with new rules/txt's. It'll make bvgger all difference to the game. But thankx for your hard eforts Z in setting up the pak"Old age and skill will overcome youth and treachery. "

Single resources worth a base 10 shields and 10 trade making "bvgger all difference"? And that the the majority of them sit at the crossroads of continent #1? Good luck in the automobile era, you'll need it

I think the increased shields and trade for those resources provides a nice incentive/catalyst for a diplo game. The difference it will make to the game depends on what the players do about them, so I applaud the effort to make things interesting.
But I'm just not sure it's worth stuffing around with reloads though."Old age and skill will overcome youth and treachery. "

Well Z, after glancing the RULES.TXT file casually, I noticed jet fighters still have no fuel range set. Will it make jet fighter a unit that doesn't require refuelling? I think that's not a good idea.
I also noticed chariots are not there any more
Such a shame considering their cool graphics.
The city of Kiev is listed under both Caucasian and European cities. I leave you Kiev. I can find a few other Euro cities to fill the list

A definite start time and date needs to be set for group B and as I cannot play before Friday 9pm Eastern USA time, I suggest that the start date and time be Friday 26th November at 9pm Eastern USA time. Can people give definite confirmations for that time, so we can see how many definite players we have and whether there are any vacant spots. I am aware of orangesaber87 preference for an earlier start, but most but not all weeks I am simply unable to begin earlier due to work and other commitments.
