I have confirmation with a new map that the spoiler thread is spoiler free for our game. I will ask T-Hawk to re-org a bit.

I got Mysticism from a hut myself.
 But yeah, I vote for no huts OR no huts near starts. Mardoc Wrote:are you sure you want no lairs, too? It changes the barbarian mix a lot. Suppose we just ask for them to be garrisoned from T0, so that they can't be popped until later in the game? I think this is a cool idea. For forts, barrows, etc, just put the appropriate unit there and give it the captive promo or set the AI to stationary or whatever. For dungeons, I vote to just remove any that spawn near the starts. Mardoc Wrote:As for events, I think it breaks some pieces of the game if you turn them off entirely. I believe this is correct; IIRC Adaptive, for example, uses event scripting for selecting new traits. I don't have much preference as to map specifics, although I would prefer a more natural-looking asymmetric map (although with starts and land distributions roughly balanced obviously). Maybe Highlands. :D Also, I think Octopus Overlords should be bannable at the map maker's discretion, although if possible I would like for the Lanun to still be in. Also, I favor the No Acheron option (pre-placing him is fine) and no Mercurians (I don't care about Infernals).

FFH cannot be played with no events, it doesn't just break some parts. It's going to be broken.
Civilization IV: 21 (Bismarck of Mali), 29 (Mao Zedong of Babylon), 38 (Isabella of China), 45 (Victoria of Sumeria), PB12 (Darius of Sumeria), 56 (Hammurabi of Sumeria), PB16 (Bismarck of Mali), 78 (Augustus of Byzantium), PB56 (Willem of China)

Is there a way for me to ban only the mercurians (not the infernals)? I think there isn't, so that would have to be done as a agreement between the players.
Do you want to keep the same picks or do you prefer to repick after seeing the starting positions, for example? Mardoc Wrote:Suppose we just ask for [lairs] to be garrisoned from T0, so that they can't be popped until later in the game? If you decide to go with this option, I wrote a program that will add a held Hill Giant to all lairs in a worldbuilder file. Let me know if you're interested, Ichabod. Ichabod Wrote:Is there a way for me to ban only the mercurians (not the infernals)? I think there isn't, so that would have to be done as a agreement between the players. Pretty sure you're right on the Mercurians. I'd prefer to have the option of repicking, with the caveat that anyone who wants to keep his current civ gets dibs.
