Thought I would start an ideas thread. We, the masses, could post ideas for scenarios, scoring structures, etc. Gathering all the ideas here might make life easier for RobWorham and Nugog.

Aside from the normal variants (Terra, One City Challenge, etc.) here are some different ideas.
Give Peace a Chance- Always peace, no barbarian love fest. Skill level could have different leaders. Novice- Gandhi, Advanced- Tokugawa. (I was thinking of this when I saw a fellow poster mention a love fest in another thread.)
Marriage Rules- Not only do you need to win, but you must establish a permanent alliance and that ally must survive to the end of the game. (Never played this, just came up with the idea while thinking of different twists.)

Apart from Boreal and Highlands not being too popular.....

You could just make a standard game map, and save it as a 'public map' (a scenario), and let US chose who we want to be... from the premade list of choices.
Might be interesting way to see what 'preferences' players take on as their choice in leaders...
It would probably be best as a small map with only 3 or 4 civilization choices to play from. Not that this would be the 'normal' style of Tournament game, but a once in the while game...

Good Game Elements
1. Consistent skill level in game (can be achieved by harder or easier maps, conditions, etc, leader selection)
2. Variety
3. Trying new things to encourage diversification of players skills
4. Use of more maps representing earth type environments, be it arbitrary as in “big and small” or actual Europe or other maps…
Bad Game Elements
1. “goofy maps” – unrealistic settings (Boreal was "O.K." - disliked but not too unrealistic)
2. Always war - probably not always peace (unless at fast speed) - both can get tiresome and maybe better ways to achieve goal...
3. Limiting ways of winning to ONLY a narrow range of choices or one choice (fine to narrow somewhat on occasion)
4. Marathon is tough to finish for some, unless very small map or advanced start
Couldn’t we try starting a game once in a while that stays in era longer? I.e. starting in something like Medieval Age with extra units/settlers and on Marathon Speed. Maybe everyone is in Europe... or... or...
Just a few more thoughts…

I personally play Marathon exclusively so the Epic speed was a nice change from the usual normal - although I wouldn't consider the optimal choice for a maptype like Boreal. Anyways, I hope to see Epic again.

I find Epic a bit too fast - and Normal is almost unplayable to me. I have never tried Quick.
