Okay, here is the start for game #3. You'll be playing as the Vikings at Deity with raging hordes, on a medium map with standard options. Since two SSC specials are hidden, I'll tell you its map coordinates: (59,69).
For this game we'll be featuring another large map start, to give players a choice to play the size map they prefer.
If you have time, you can play both maps, but the deadline for both games will be Sunday, April 27.
There will be a separate comparison table for each game.
There is a renewed request for a lower barb setting in game #4, so I'd like to re-poll players about this possibility.
Don't forget to enjoy your game(s)!
Rules used for Comparison Games
a) The human player may not tip any huts. What’s a rule without an exception, so in the rare situation where a hut may block a player’s movement, the player must save the game, after which the hut is tipped enough times until it produces a military unit or a nomad, which must then be immediately disbanded. Huts appearing in a radius of any city can be destroyed without reaping any benefit by placing a citizen on the hut’s tile while in the city display.
b) Since the game attempts to prevent caravan and freight re-homing, this exploit is not allowed. Any other ploy or exploit is allowed.
c) As a minimum each player should provide a summary of their game, using the format provided with each game start. Each player is also encouraged to keep a chronological log of their game, listing significant events. The addition of details describing the game and strategic decisions made while playing it add interest, so doing this is very much encouraged. Once a game is completed, a short game summary and the optional log should be posted in the game’s thread. Attached to this post should be a save of the game made showing a completed ship or one on the way to Alpha Centauri.
d) The player posting the best landing date before the deadline will be declared the winner of that game. If the date is the best so far attained in comparison games, it will become the new “official” record.

The table following each game will contain these stats. Of course, you may not end up building all wonders listed, or use all governments, so just keep track of dates relevant to your own game. More detailed logs and/or written accounts of games will be at the players' discretion. Add as little or as much as you want to the required summary.
This is the start for the medium map game. See the following post for the large map start.
