standard "new game" template

[Calahan]

Probably the only standard template for games should be a template for the information that should always be displayed when a game is in the recruiting stage. For example

General Stuff

- Name of the game.
- PBEM or server game
- Era
- Number of players
- Map
- Mods
- Rules (banned exploits etc)
- How nations are assigned. (First come first serve. Random)
- Policy regarding diplomacy (binding, binding only if agreements made public, Machiavellian, no diplomacy)
- Policy regarding trading (No trading, no trading commanders, only item trades)
- Restrictions/Allowances (no Ashdod. Experienced players only. New players only. Mod nations welcome)
- Hosting schedule (24h for first 20 turns, then 48h until turn 50 etc)

Game Settings
- Indy level
- Research Level
- HoF 10 or 15
- Magic Site setting
- Gold/resource/supply/events settings.
- Score Graphs on/off
- Victory Conditions

I'm sure I've missed a few things, but generally this is the sort of template of info that should be available for every new game. (although a lot of new games often have a lot of the above info missing)
