Spoiler: In-game Rules

In-game Rules

Straggler Trees & Fish
Players are not allowed to delete the straggler trees which spawn within 10 tiles of an opposing player’s Town Center. This rule does not apply if the straggler tree which is being deleted forms part of a wall for the defending player or if it is cut down by one of the attacking player's villagers. On maps where main forests are exclusively straggler trees, it is strictly forbidden to delete straggler trees from opponents (using the "palisade trick") unless they are being used as part of a mid-section of a wall.
Players may not delete fish spawning on sand or Mangrove shallow terrain by placing a building on top of them.

Wrong civ pick (Bo3/Bo5)
If a player incorrectly chooses a civilization that has been banned or has previously been played the opposing player may choose their replacement civilization while still following any civilization rules.

Bugged Map Restarts
A player can request bugged map restarts during the first 6 minutes (game time). A restart requested due to a bugged map is the only restart allowed.
A bugged map is defined as the following for standard resource starts:
Trapped Villager or Scout: If a villager or scout cannot be moved.
Gold: Less than 5 tiles of the main gold cluster are at least accessible on one side, extra gold are excluded.
Stone: Less than 4 tiles of a stone cluster are at least accessible on one side, extra stones are excluded.
Berries: Less than 4 tiles of a berry cluster are at least accessible on one side.
Animals: Spawned with less than 3 deer or less than 8 sheep or less than 2 boars or, one or more of the animals being trapped.


Nomad Rules

In the event of a no-TC start (example: Nomad) - that is a start where players do not have Town Centers but only villagers:

1- The first buildings constructed must be either a Town Center, Dock, Mill, Lumber camp, or house.
No Barracks, no Outpost, no Palisade Wall, and no more than one House may be built until the first TC is up.

2- Villager Fights are not allowed before minute 3:30 game time.

3- No TC fighting is allowed. If it happens the game must be replayed. Should the Administration decide that a TC fight occurred intentionally, that player will receive an Admin Loss for that game.

4- Before minute 3:30 game time it is not allowed to block another TC being built by using villager(s). After 3:30 minutes players are free to do any of the above. Breaking these rules will result in an AW for the infringed player.
