One more thing: I generally prefer the inland ocean setting to the default Waterways. About 200 land tiles per player generally seems to hit the sweet spot between loneliness and overcrowding. Ok, two more things. Flooded waterways, 200 tiles per player, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Three more things...

I probably can't commit any time to this but it's great to see another EitB pbem starting up!

"You can't build the Hall of Mirrors in a city next to a barb animal stuck in your borders." It seems like a pretty niche issue, so I'd rather just ban the exploit itself than the whole building.

You're better off banning the whole building. I would have been content to copy Stephanos one time. There's no great way to "trap" him but in my test games I did manage to lure horsemen in with sacrificial "bait" units.

Plus, copied units include any equipment that the original was carrying.

Hall of Mirrors is pretty expensive and too situational to build unless you plan to fully utilize it.

Lurking with interest, in between looking at properties in my soon-to-be new home city. Good luck to all the players!

I'll get started on a map. A subforum to share it with other potential lurkers would be good.
