As it is the end of a Fall turn, and strategies have been formed without this rule in place, we'll postpone implementation until the end of Fall 1842. That allows players a full game year to plan and act with the rule as part of their planning. It's just too close to builds now to plop it in place.

As I stated initially, I wanted to allow player to build in their home centers AND captured home centers. I didn't do that because the RP software doesn't support that and the other two build rules it does support I don't feel work well for this variant.

Looking at how things are developing, I feel the 'build in captured home centers' rule is really needed for this variant to work in the long term. If it's to be implemented, it needs to be now.

Once again: this will mean you can build in any unoccupied [u:6c42942c04]home[/u:6c42942c04] center you own at the end of a fall season - the ones you started with and any you capture.

Any dissension?
