welcome to our third forum giveaway! from now until June 6th, i'll be accepting entries in this thread for the contest. on the 6th, i'll shut down the thread and pick the lucky winners at random.

please note in your entry if you don't have a 360, so i don't give you a faceplate if you don't want one. also, i am out of men's medium shirts, so if you are that size and win, you'll have to pick between small and large! (they are american apparel tees, if you want to run out and figure out your size.)

without, further ado, here's the contest!

CREATE YOUR OWN CIV BONUSES

Let's say you are the leader of your own Civilization. Pick a Civ name -- and i'd prefer this not be an existing culture -- and then fill in the following bonuses for your new civ!

[Magwill]

Civilization Name: Monoians

I basically wanted a civilization that is made for those who want to have 1 city only. The people believe that they should only live in one city located at a holy spot. This could make the game interesting by having one player (AI or human) choose to work on this only city. It would require a different strategy than going at lots of smaller cities with no bonuses.

Starting: Starts with access to all resources
Ancient: Units receive 50% more experience when near the first city
Medieval: All units gain +2 movement when near the first city
Industrial: +5 defense when defending in the first city
Modern: +50% culture (as a result of modern thinkers having other ideas)
Unique Units: All units wear a tunic with the city symbol on it to show their devotion to it.

It's hard to say exact numbers though, as we haven't played CivRev yet and therefore we don't know what a fair number would be:P

[bigden]

Civilization: Saints Nation
Leader: Drew Brees

Industrial: Receive The Superdome, +50% happiness
Unique Units: The Superdome in place of the Cathedrals, Fleur-di-Lis F15 plane (For those of you who dont know what a fleur-di-lis is. It is the logo on the Saints helmet)

Unfortunately, the Heinz Field Wonder negates all Superdome bonuses.
