Chaos and Civility II -- Game Rules

[Capsavian Hopewell]

For the sake of expediency, I've gone ahead and reloaded the game at Ian's latest autosave.

If I was mistaken in my interpretation, please advise so I can rectify.

I will be on holiday for a nice period in the sun, I have arranged for "ChrisFromLux" (his CFC addy) to take care of my civ while I am gone.

I pointed him to this thread to find the Mod. I hope everyone will be kind to him, as he is new to pittbos games.

Enjoy your time away, and I look forward to "working" with Chris.

I've just realised having re-read the rules that I gifted a city to Hoplo while at war, which technically breaks rule:

4.4 - When at war, a nation may not gift any of its cities to another nation. Nor may a nation act upon any game loophole which would cause a "false peace" by ejecting units from cultural borders without a mutually-agreed peace treaty or cease-fire.

However, I think that rule is supposed to read:

4.4 - When at war, a nation may not gift any of its cities to another nation which would cause a "false peace" by ejecting units from cultural borders without a mutually-agreed peace treaty or cease-fire.

In my case no units were ejected from borders because Hoplo is at war with the same nations as I am. Similarly if Levgre's units had been first to take back the city of Aachen he should be allowed to gift it back to Maltman in order for him to get the cultural borders back, because Maltman is also at war with the same players.

Correct, and I think your interpretation of the "spirit" of the rule is also correct. 

Unless anyone has any objections, I think I'll amend Rule 4.4 as suggested.
