Default Civilizations 2: Attack from Mars

Years after the world war between the Allies and the lazy Axis, a new threat threatens the threatening threat that is the threatening Earth: Mars. In a UN meeting, it is discovered that Martians have infiltrated the room and are impersonating the Heads of State. The building has been placed in lockdown and our leaders are stuck in that room with the aliens until there are no more, or they all die.

Dun.
Dun.
DUNNN!

Hastily written rules:
Spoiler


I think that's all I need. Recruitment is open and the game will start July 31st.
If you have any questions ask. I was kind of hurrying when I typed all this.

Players or whatever they're called these days, and their civilization name should they choose one:

You can call your civilization whatever you want. I just called Switzerland Switzerland because they're always neutral.

@Selrahc: Which unique rules? We still got those, although I might not have expressed that clearly enough in the rules.

The whole map system. I assumed it was gone since it wasn't mentioned... and doesn't really make too much sense in the context of an embassy siege.

Well, there are seats in the UN right? Each seat a person has counts as a vote. Each person starts with two seats. Yeah it's lame and doesn't make sense, but whatever.

Or it could be that the absence of a leader forces the people in their civilization to join adjacent civilizations.

We can do epic battle anyway. I read somewhere, that Polish and Finnish languages are most difficult to learn in the whole world, so we can fight for the top spot

Porean is even harder than those two to learn.
