Rules:

1.Every action you do must be in an attempt to win. If you are still in the game, you are still considered relevant and you are not allowed to decide "I can't win, but lets see if I can burn down all of X's cities!"

2. You are allowed to consider yourself irrelevant and give up if: You loose your capital city, you loose the majority of the cities in your empire, or you are at least 3 eras behind over half the players. Note that you are always allowed to keep playing, assuming you have cities, but remember that AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN THE GAME, YOU MUST BE TRYING TO WIN.

3. You can not take any actions specifically to let someone else win. If you find yourself in a position where person A is about to win, but you can do something to make person B win, YOU LEAVE IT ALONE unless meddling with the situation actually gives YOU a better shot of winning, you can't ruin the game because you want someone else to win

4. You can not help anyone else, unless it in someway benefits you. It doesn't matter how insignificant it may seem, you are not allowed to just give away 1 horse, or 1 gold, or 3 fishing boats unless you get something in return. This is considered helping someone win. You CAN however give away stuff for free if it helps you in some way. For instance if players A and B are in a war, and player C will benefit if player A wins the war, player C is allowed to give resources to player A for nothing in return.

5. Lying is allowed, however lying in deals is not. Deception, and politics are a big part of the game, however making deals and promises, and then breaking those deals or promises, are not allowed
