No Laming, Stealing or Denying
Don’t steal sheepies etc and don’t deny or wall off an opponent's resources in Dark Age or Feudal. Once you hit Castle Age though, lame until you can’t lame no more. Towering is allowed in all ages.
Nomad Rules
No villager fighting at the beginning of the game on Nomad map. If players build town centres within 8 squares of each other, they can agree to a restart.
No Douching
No douching in Dark Age or Feudal. (a player deletes his own Town Center and builds another one next to the enemy's). If you douche, you forfeit the game and our friendship.
