Team leaders only, please post:

Choose only one.

• Barbarians:
• None
• Normal
• Raging

If no one selection achieves a majority, then "Normal" will be selected.

Choose only one.

• Level:
• Warlord or easier
• Noble
• Prince
• Monarch or harder

If one of the "or easier/harder" selections were to win, then there would be a poll for those selections (monarch->harder, etc.). If no one selection achieves a majority, then either Noble or Prince will be default, depending if (warlord+noble) outpolls (prince+monarch).

Choose only one for each of the following:

• Alliances:
• All alliance options on
• No permanent alliances
• "Always War" on

All options on is default.

• Tech trading:
• Tech trading is on
• Tech trading impossible

If "Always War" is selected, this is irrelevant.

• City Razing:
• On
• Off

• City Flipping:
• Normal
• Only after conquest
• Off

If no majority, and 4 or more choose "conquest" or "off", then "conquest" wins; otherwise, "normal" is default.

• Victory Conditions:
• All on
• Only Conquest (and Time)
• Somewhere in between (post)

All on is default, but if a majority vote for somewhere inbetween, we'll have a revote with the specifics.

Game speed will be polled seperately.

The 'default's btw only take affect if no selection wins 4 votes (a majority).

VOX

Barbarians: Normal
Level: Noble (or Prince)
Alliances: (only 2 Civs can form a permanent alliance.. all other options are in)
Tech trading: on
City Razing: (only size 1 cities)
City Flipping: Normal
Victory Conditions: All on


I modified an earlier post for this. Not all of VOX has said something (I might change it later).

We don't feel that City Razing of cities above size 1 is realistic or makes for a better game.

Also all permanent alliances must be announced.

City razing is either on or off, there's no in between option. I've not tested whether 'city razing=off' means size 1 cities won't be razed - anyone else done so?

[snoopy369]

Still awaiting GS, but some of the votes already have a majority.

Barbarians: Normal (5 votes)
Level: Noble (3) Prince (2) Emperor (1): If GS votes Prince, based on Vox's willingness to play Prince we'll play Prince; if they vote Noble we'll play Noble. If they vote higher than Prince, the fair compromise is Prince (3-2-2).
Alliances: No permanent alliances (4)
Tech Trading: On (6)
City Razing: On(5)
City Flipping: Normal (5)
Victory Conditions: All On (5)

NYE or other GS leadership, please post your votes (well, particularly your vote on the level) when convenient.

[Arrian]

I'm not our captain, but GS appears to prefer:

Difficulty: Emperor
Barbs: normal
Alliances: No permanent alliances
Tech Trading: On
City Razing: On
City Flipping: On
Victory Conditions: All On
