CIVILIZATION RULES
Each combination civ has the possibility for:
- a tech tree (for example, Magyars);
- 5 civilization bonuses (like for example free thumb ring and parthian tactics, 33% cheaper farms,free archer defense upgrades, faster firing CA and cheaper archery range units)
- 2 unique technologies (to be researched in castle)
- 1 unique unit - depending on tech tree you will be allowed other unique units/buildings as: if you pick Portuguese, you have access to Caravels and Feitoria.
- 1 team bonus (like 40% faster farm building)
You may not pick more than 2 characteristics from one civilization, so for example, you can't get Chivalry tech, more vision on the knights (team bonus) and for example the Frenkish Tech Tree.
To all these rules, since this is an event to have fun, you can ask an admin if you want to go around these rules a bit. The thumbnail is a civ that we used to test the idea, with japanese tech tree, but Conquistador as UU and the possibility for Anarchy?! I found it one of the best and most well rounded civ ideas and we used it for testing. Good luck, have fun! ~umaTruta
