Open Streaming
Slinging
Players may not send any resources to their allies until they are in the Castle age.
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 team may choose their replacement civilization while still following any civilization rules.
Laming
Players may not steal enemy boars with their scout but are allowed to do anything else that is permitted within the game, including stealing boar with villagers, walling in resources, or blocking/killing villagers in the dark age.
Bugged Map Restarts
A team 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, or Lumber camp.
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 team 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), intentionally killing enemy villagers, boars, sheep, or deer, or sit under an enemy TC to steal sheep. After 3:30 minutes players are free to do any of the above. Breaking these rules will result in an AW for the infringed team.
5- Killing enemy boar and deer will be defined as: you are not allowed to lame any deer (killing more than 1 deer without taking 20+ food from it) and you are not allowed to kill boars without the intent to harvest the boar yourself for food. (I.e. palisading a villager with the intent to kill simply to deny your opponent from using it)
Players may not send any resources to their allies until they are in the Castle age.
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.
