    Yes instead of using grassland, deity and I think we should use swamp. Mining a swamp would result in a transformation to ocean. The reason for this is that somebody might want to mine grassland and couldn't do it if mining would turn grassland to ocean.
    This way he can still mine swamp although it takes a bit more turns to actually do it - but it's doable.

    About huts, I WANT HUTS BACK!

    Tell me Frank, why you don't like huts?

      Minning the swamp will work, but there will be 2 problems. #1 theres no way to "make" a swamp, so the canal sites will have to be swamp, and #2 if someone accidentally forgets and clears the swamp, then there's no way to make that canal ever. We could do minning forest though. You can both make a forest and destroy a forest so you just have to "prep" canal sites by making them a forest first.

      Huts just give players unfair advantages. Also they are used to conceal cheating by giving yourself bonuses only when a hut is triggered. They can unbalance the game in both directions, since about the only way to get killed at the start of the game is to get barbs in the first hut which can happen, and I dont really want any complaints for a restart.

              ok i think no huts is best.. but to balance that we must have barbaians activated .

              also is there a way to makwe lots of barbs for the Americas and not so many in australia. Will make it just a little harder to get free land in new world.

                I'd rather leave barbarians off as well, since they have been known to assault players based on the color of their civ, not their power.

                If you want some barbarians in particular locations, I can make a few barbarian cities in the new world. They'll pump out whatever unit I have them captured with for eternity, or untill we smash them. Its up to you guys.

                  never noticed the barb attack particualr colour but will go with your experioence on that, i think it mandatory we have barbs in new world and australia, i sugest citys pumping out horses should make it interesdting and mean you just cant send settlers to new world ..

                    I have no opinion on huts, barbarians, or new world natives.

                    And if we do it with forest we could have plains at Suez and Forest at Panama to make them blend in better with the surrounding climate. Sounds good to me.

                    We need a 7th! Someone read this and volunteer. See if any old diplogamers are available. CapTVK, or Capo, or... someone. I invited Moker, but I dunno if he will.

                        Empress had interest, but not as a permanent player. She said she could sub.

                        And don't trust me on the time conversion. I'm an ethnocentric American and am not certain I'm -5 GMT, I might be off by an hour.

                            Mining forest is OK.
                            The canal squares should be plains.

                            I still think huts should be there. Unbalancing maybe, but the start positions are not exactly identical, are they? So, you can't have equal conditions anyway.

                            I think hut luck is what makes this game great. I love getting early bonus cities and techs on the road to monarchy from huts. What's better than that?
                            There are six players more in the game, so if one of us gets too much out of huts, the others can have arrangements to check his expansion.
                            And huts are fun, cause you can't plan so much when huts are around. Imagine if you want to build a wonder you alone have the tech for. But I come across a hut and it yields the same tech I wasn't even researching at the time. So, I build the wonder - not you. Sheer luck, but I like it. And you get to curse the huts.

                            And huts encourage exploration.

                            The conclusion is that the good side of huts outweighs the bad one. In addition, huts are lots of fun. So, I vote for huts in our game.

                            And barbarians should be raging or even worse if possible (barbarian wrath).

                            In the new world, barbarians should have cities with special units that can ambush you (increased attack strength).

                              we derfiantly must have either huts or barbarians, i ma fine with both, but will settle for either one.

                              they do tend to even things up a bit ....
