The poll is up.

Sorry Nathan, I posted the poll before reading your response. We can certainly play AU 503 with more than one civilization.

However, keep in mind that the map geography will bias the verdict on which UU is better for pillaging anyway. Say, for example, that we start near desert and mountains. The Incas will have a huge advantage over the Zulu, because they will be able to irrigate desert, and their UU can move two tiles over mountains. In another type of map, the Zulu might be the better pillaging civ.

My goal in playing different civs is not to try to establish which UU is "best" at early pillaging, but rather to try to give us a fairly good understanding of the capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages of each. Also, a well-designed scenario should be able to keep the civ-specific advantages to a minimum in AU 503.
