This is actually a pretty neat idea. Care to float it in the main discussion thread?

[pindicator]

Will do!

Ban AP Religious Victory?

Quick Noob Questions: Does banning Spies equate to no espionage? If it does not, then I will change my vote to off (i think i was for full before).

Also vote for no AP religious victory. I got done with that bulls#!t when i was about to win one game and never turned the damn thing on ever again.

That's half the battle right there. Leave it up to Nakor. My one reservation about putting you on diplo is that I rather our diplo team be people who are well known and have a history in the community - people that our opponents are more likely to trust. Again though, I'll leave it up to Nakor. Pindicator expressed some interest in helping with diplo as well, and I'm a little more comfortable with that.

That was very diplomatically handled...

[luddite]

Sorry for being so late to vote!
I think I agree with the majority on everything though. I'm open to any starting era and picking method.

Davey, don't know what to make of your response...

[luddite]

By the way, assuming this turns out to be ancient... how do you guys feel about wonders...?

Banning spies restricts espionage to passive stuff only (like graphs and tech/city visibility) since you cannot do spy missions without them.
