Full Steel Independence
There is Secret Victory (SVC) potential. To state the spirit of this game, the idea is there will not be pre-conceived alliances or early gold funding. Players should go into this game with the idea of being independent through the early game at least. Please do not try to negotiate/collect non-aggression pacts (NAP's) lasting more than 6 turns before turn 6 at the earliest. Some of this has to be player-enforced, it won't be coded. If this is successful in that players feel it makes a more entertaining full diplomacy game regardless of diplomatic style of the player, we may code it later. The idea is its something of an intermediate ground between full diplomacy and anonymous.
Here are the special rules for this game:
1. No allies can be declared before Turn 6 and players should not exchange full turn results with non-allies, although intel can be shared;
2. No trading between kingdoms before Turn 6;
3. No Long term NAPS (longer than 6 turns) before Turn 6. There should be no forum controversy about "having an understanding with that player" before turn 6 that goes past turn six. You can agree to consider extending an agreement earlier, but no player is considered committed to that. Throughout history, no two countries have been "allies forever", we should have that more realistic and tenuous diplomacy;
4. No gifting to kingdoms throughout the game (no use of order #215);
5. No trade between kingdoms at Turn 6 or later at greater than 6 to 1 with a cap of 60k per any single trade order (so 10k food for 60k gold is the highest allowed).

Good hunting and let's hear after turn 6 or so what you think of the diplomatic restrictions intended to slow early game-long deals and discourage vassals (supporting one player without a quid pro quo) without requiring a game to go full into Anonymous to accomplish that.
